Which Religion is the One True Religion?

You seem to equate being in heaven as being there in our natural bodies that we now possess. When you die your body goes back to dust. The body and spirite are separated at death.

Ahhhh....so you apparently are arguing that it is our body that has free will...and not our...essence...our spirit...our souls?

C'mon, Intrepid. You can do better than this.

Note only the Christians will go to heaven. I wonder what they have in mind for the rest of us? Gas chambers?
And they wonder why all the Christian bashing.

You and your BS religion are full of horse manure.

Frank, The whole thing begins with another Adam and Eve. LOL

Now you have the best of both worlds. You can screw up big time and still have salvation, and you can still dip back into the old book to reinforce pet prejudices and bigotry.

That's a truly pathetic response.

I'll ask again (3rd time) for a response to this.

Not to say the rest of your post wasn't good......but this comment is spectacular and 100% right on target.

I ask neologist, rexred, real life, and your ilk how you would respond directly to this quote?

It was a truly pathetic statement

I responded to this on page 236 with a question. You seem to have missed or ignored it. I assume that you consider me part of the "ilk"

Isn't the assumption that all religious folks are bigoted just another type of bigotry in itself?

Bigotry is not "intolerance," but "unreasonable intolerance". For example, some Jews may be intolerant of Nazi Anti-Semitism; that doesn't necessarily make them anti-Nazi bigots.

No, it's just an observation. Try to wrap your mind around this:

The same applies to those who simply make the observation that religionists are bigoted.

I suppose you could say that......but I'm not the one saying I'm not bigoted, YOU ARE (or your religion anyway).
