Re: Blessed is the Light of Landru
It is a reference to a Star Trek episode which examines a religion on another planet. Not unlike the one you follow.
I thought it was very funny. But then again, I regard Star Trek as more entertaining and philosophically more profound than the bible.
P.S. God isn't going to forgive your sins. You are going to have to pay for each and everyone of them. The greatest SIN is telling others you have the ANSWER. For that you will pay big time.

Re: My Kid Wouldn't Eat His Vegitables so I Had to Shoot Him
Now this is twice in one day you made me laugh, with your subtitle. (the other one was with Landru)
You will surely go to heaven, or at least get big plus points.
God has a problem with this sin thing. You see God cannot kill you or make you cease to exist. Otherwise you would not be created in his image and likeness. That's why there is this eternal hell thing. God CANNOT zap you out of existance.
Now he gave you the same free will He has, but, so some say, doesn't like the way you use it.
Think about this. I have sons and I give them the right to do as they please. Now suppose I say, unless you do as I say I am going to punish you in some horrible way. Is that still "free will" for them?
If I could have made them anyway I wanted, why not just do that.
Sin is not a thing God is concerned about other than he knows you will have to pay a price for it, and He would like you to wise up. The price you pay will be to your fellow man, and YOU WILL PAY IT BACK.
God isn't going to punish you, in a sense you punish yourself by doing evil to others. Is He going to stop you from doing that? No, if He did that then you would not be created in his image and likeness.
God does not forgive sins, you didn't do anything to Him (except decide to leave, and He gave you that option). You must pay back for your sins to others or ask your fellow man for forgiveness.
If you think someone else is going to/or has paid the price for the crap you've done you're dreaming. That will just keep you stuck here, in this universe, forever.
Find your own way out of here. Look and keep looking. No one, and no book can give the answer to you. You have to find it yourself.
Happy New Year
P.S. Try putting "the government" in many places in the bible in exchange for God and that will give a better idea of what that book is about. Especially in the OT.
