I, obviously, disagree.

Do you go to hell if you commit suicide?

Hell is trying to figure out who is going to hell or not.

I'm not worried about who is going to hell and who is not.
I do what I can to do right by others and teach my children to do the same thing.
If I have to go to hell for that then so be it.

I do not believe I am going to hell either.
But I am prepared to accept the consequences if it is true that you have to jump through all these ridiculous hoops that are presented by various people as being required by God to keep from going to hell.

So where have you been working out?..Or do you just do crunches every night by the side of the bed or what?

There is a YMCA right up the street from the TP where I live.
They base membership fees on income so we paid for the year out of income tax.

God will not allow man to have the knowledge of good and evil and live forever.

There is only one hoop.

Well, that's rather petty, don't you think?

Intellegence, either high or low, is not a factor in salvation.

Again I'd like to ask a serious question:
Do those of you who think that suicides go to hell think that attempted suicides go to hell? Why or why not?
Those that did attempt and weren't successful, are they forgiven? If they are forgiven already, what is the purpose of living for them then? Do attempted suicides go to hell to?
Thanks

Actually prudery is defined as:
the characteristic quality or state of a prude.
Prude is defined as:
a person who is excessively or priggishly attentive to propriety or decorum
Since God is not a person He can't be a prude.

Why do you say that? Do you believe that evil is of little or no significance?
Kilgore Trout

No, but I think punishing someone for having knowledge of something is rather disturbing.

And you, just like ayani, have completely missed the point.
Or are ignoring/avoiding it.
Interesting how you concentrate on the word "prude" as though it was the most important word in the statement....
I will have to just assume that you two agree with it other than the word "prude"....

Actually, I do.
Evil is far to subjective a term to be taken seriously when uttered by fanatics.

I didn't say it was and I don't believe it is. But it works both ways. If someone does something dumb which causes them to follow Christianity, it would be completely insane to think that God would favour them over someone who did not do that dumb thing and therefore did not become a Christian.
The simplicity of salvation escapes many so called smart people. You all kill me with all this smart dumb stuff. While I laugh at all these so called smart people who cannot provide themselves with a decent living, someone else thinks that every decision they make boils down to intelligence.
I guess when you look at a menu in a resturant, there is only one smart item on the menu right?
God does not give a rats azz how smart you are. Salvation is a gift, you either except the gift or you don't. You either believe or you don't.
I can just see you telling God how smart you are and above all of his servants.

Again I did not say that God would in any way favour intelligent people over dumb people, so I don't know what on earth you are talking about here. People like you make me physically feel sick.
"Salvation is a gift, you either except the gift or you don't. You either believe or you don't." Are you serious? Obviously if I knew that the gift was there then I would accept it, but I do not know that the gift is there and neither do you. Its just that you have faith that the gift is there. There is an astronomical difference between having faith that something is true and knowing that it is true.
Now since you only have faith that you are right, whether or not you actually are is pure chance. So like I've been saying throughout this thread, you are saying that God punishes and rewards based on sheer luck. But like I expected, you just will not answer me when I bring stuff like this up - I wonder why??? :ignore: :ignore: :ignore:
