But only if you don't have a Bazooka Joe wrapper in your pocket at the time of the attempted conversion. Otherwise, going to hell is fine for you

There are basic tenants present in all religions that are similar throughout; it's only when arguing about the specifics that most religions seem to forget about those basics tenants altogether.

Of all the.....whodathunk MrC would nail it down so well when speaking about religion! Mebbe he's not going to hell aft....nevermind ;)
I won't tell the ones who think you're going to hell that you said something I agree with. I'd hate to let them know you were brainwashing me

See, I'm not an evil guy, I just play one on these forums!
I have studied quite a few religions (on my own time, not academically) and I find very reasonable, workable solutions to a lot of lifes problems. I am a very spiritual person, I just dislike organized religion for how they choose to apply the notion of spirituallity.
Also, for the record, the theology I find the most interesting is Buddhism, but it still has too much pomp and circumstance for me (this is a joke if you know anything about Buddhism). I like the idea that if you are a bastard and you die, you come back as a deformed cockroach, only to spend the next seven lifetimes working your way up to, at best, a retarded frog.
Karma is a brilliant principle.

This is - by far - the most reasonable thing you've every posted in 'Everything Else'. :)

Well, there was that other thing he sez, but I can understand why you don't find that reasonable - it'd mean accepting the fact. How is it that you say it, DD?
BUSH WON!
Not only reasonable, but a joy to read!

I'll accept it, if it's posted in it's entirety:
BUSH WON! (In an electoral college system, by tipping Ohio at 2.5%, during an election using faulty electronic voting machines with unauditable paper trails, created by companies wholely owned by extremely partisan Republican donors)
There...them's some facts.

P.S. DD also believes it's reasonable to think that a women with a missing cerebral cortex is possibly days away from making a "complete recovery." So, ya' know, for what it's worth.
