See, it's an unfair contest. If the Christians are right, the atheists lose out big time. If the atheists are right, nobody gets the last laugh because you just turn off and start rotting. If the Aztecs were right, though, we're all in for some interesting times post-mortem. —Alorael, who is hoping that the Fosterites are right. Their Heaven sounds like good, wholesome, tacky fun.

And if the reincarnationists are right we will be having this arguement again and probalby not even know it. Except for those whose bad karma has pushed them down on the evolutionary scale. H. G. Wells had a nice short story about someone who wound up going down instead of upwards as he planned. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

And the Holy Spirit is probably feeling miffed at being left out. Besides, various bodhisattvas will tell you that Jesus really isn't a very nice guy for promising life after death. He's definitely part of the problem and not the solution. —Alorael, who thinks Elijah's story just goes to show how the Old Testament is better. None of this silly getting nailed to a log to prove a point. If you're going to ascend bodily to Heaven, you do it in style with flaming chariot.

Elijah also gets to drink wine all over the world on Passover, one cup per household. Pretty good deal. (I'm guessing his liver is immortal) -------------------- Nobody appreciates me.

quote:As I understand it, God is God, and Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God are also God manifested as the Holy Trinity. So Jesus is either not quite the same thing as God or exactly the same thing as God, depending on how you look at it. Either way, Jesus is not a separate God from God, so no problems there. Anyway I don't think that's what Jewels said at all. -------------------- I think this is really wonderful. Posts: 147 | Registered: Tuesday, October 18 2005 07:00 |

With respect to Elijah, the theory that I've seen is that he didn't go to heaven, merely a whirlwind that captured him and bodily removed him to a new location on earth, as evidenced by his writings that occurred after the ascension. With respect to everybody dies, I'm holding out for the resurrection. If it occurs your statement becomes wrong. -------------------- "Dikiyoba ... is demon ... drives people mad and ... do all sorts of strange things."
