    And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

    I have had a hard time buying in to organized religion since I was about 10. This was probably the first bible verse that just struck me as being wrong. I had already been indoctrinated in "heaven" and " " but it defied logic that someone in India or China that otherwise lived an exemplary life would go to for not knowing about Jesus.

    Any true believers in here? Are we all agnostics or non believers? Will we be having a Spurstalk Political Forum GTG in ?

    I go to church and I believe in its potential value to the community, but I'm agnostic when it comes to a literal view of God and Jesus Christ.

    I don't think so, Homer. He told me to go myself a week ago. That don't sound like a true believer, fart-face.

    That was always one of my issues. You could also say Native Americans... whoever. Those who are allowed into heaven is dictated by being born in the right place and right time. Doesn't seem right. For an all-knowing, loving Father who created us all in his own image... this seems to be a massive oversight.

    I'd say I am but I guess it depends on what you mean by true believer. Sounds like you were being taught a rigid interpretation of the bible. Other denominations have different views. Even the Vatican says non christians and non believers can go to Heaven.

    See how one is afraid at health, whispers & downcast eyes, but, at threat, is loud inside & outside the church, put's one's belief in broad daylight where God can easily, readily see & hear it, so, He makes no mistake..."not everyone will be treated all the same."

    Nobody wants to watch the golden ladder reaching down & forbidden to mount it.

    Religion has ed up mankind across the planet for 1000s of years, by dividing people into ingroups vs outgroups, engendering murderous violence and wars, none of which accomplished much except to up mankind and distract mankind from what really matters.

    So, religion

    This is not to say that every religion has some excellent, humane, bona fide members.

    Catholics vs Jews (Spanish Inquisition)

    Catholics vs Protestants (French wars of religion)

    Muslim vs Muslim (shia vs sunni)

    Muslim vs Jew

    Christian vs Jew

    Muslim vs Christian

    Muslim vs Hindu

    etc, etc, etc what a ing shtorm religion has produced and always will.

    Straight out of the King James version. Language seemed pretty specific. Believe in Jesus or go to .
