there is an implicit pact between the magician and the audience.. .
an audience attending a magic act is in attendance for two main reasons.. 1.entertainment.
2.the desire to match wits with a puzzle and its solution and the determined effort to be amazed when this fails.. yet, above all else, the audience does not really wish to discover the secret.
For some, this becomes a way of life, an obsession, an addiction.
So.Damn.True!

And yes, on the incredibly impossible chance that God/Jesus are real, I AM going to hell for that thankyouverymuch.
If the Bible is correct then I would take the Witness Ghenna over Hell anyday.
Go JWs!

All humans are welcome, except for the ones mentioned in Leviticus 21:
16 The LORD said to Moses, 17 "Say to Aaron: 'For the generations to come none of your descendants who has a defect may come near to offer the food of his God. 18 No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed; 19 no man with a crippled footor hand, 20 or who is hunchbacked or dwarfed, or who has any eye defect, or who has festering or running sores or damaged testicles. 21 No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any defect is to come near to present the offerings made to the LORD by fire. He has a defect; he must not come near to offer the food of his God. 22 He may eat the most holy food of his God, as well as the holy food; 23 yet because of his defect, he must not go near the curtain or approach the altar, and so desecrate my sanctuary. I am the LORD, who makes them holy. [e] ' "

since starting to leave the jws about 10 years ago (i was a fader) i've spent plenty of time going over what i was taught, scrutinizing the bible and its history, and reading books like the god delusion for a fresh perspective.
i would say i've landed on the atheist side of things, though i don't like the word.
(we don't have one for non-stamp collectors...so why non-believers in a god?
Anyhoo, I'm quite content to wait until all the evidence is in. Until then I'm not signing up for one of the god belief systems.
^ This is a good explanation of what an Athiest is, imo.
They are not on the offensive, but rather just waiting on (or seeking) more information.

but for those who still trust the Bible...
Can you explain by what you mean when someone "still trusts the Bible"?

What you say rings true in my original point, and how I live my life in general.
All mainstream religions think this way. The fact that Syl and PSSac don't want to see their beliefs for what they truly are, as spiritual and religious intolerence is exactly why I feel compelled to speak out.
I believe that subtle implications, of belief systems, have profound impact on the believers and on the world around us.
Mainstream religion has a responsibility to teach it's members to stay away from Us vs Them beliefs and concepts. If that means disregarding something Jesus said so be it, he would want you to do it and probably didn't even say it to begin with.
If spiritual intolerence can be done away with our species can start to progress and tackle the real problems that face our way of life.
Christians and all other members of intolerant belief systems must realize the truth about what they believe and how it is affecting the WORLD, and it's future.
It is in their hands, it is in their minds where this change must take place. No one can force them to look into their systems critically, so the only offense is information.

For those that find Jesus while alive, there is a special "life after death" before the "life after the life after death", for those that don't accept or are introduced to Jesus while alive there is the hope at ressurection.
How can you type this with a straight face?
Convoluted mess, imo.
