Thanks for the vote of confidence...... but her Atheist mother is a huge force in her life.
She is a good woman and - to her credit - she doesn't oppose the kids going to church. Very confused here.. Fixed it for ya'all.

i judge no one, but myself. I judge folks all the time. Usually by their actions. For example, I don't take life advice from goat fugging dune coons, even 2000 year old goat fugging dune coons. They are just kinda wacky people and I don't trust them. you're not taking in it the right context

I understand Roger.
I was taking a cheap shot at religion as a whole. Curdogs thread is a dumb place to do it.
Apologies, CD.

Apologies, CD. Don't worry, I just started a new thread that mentions genetics, evolution, and stem cell research. It should't take long before it generates a couple of interesting theist posts. I imagine they will give you plenty of opportunity soon.

Apologies, CD. No problem. The O P is a funny thing my son posted on his Facebook page. Hell - an eternal place of damnation - is most assuredly speculative for creatures who cannot even begin to understand the "eternal" part. Some , maybe most , folks will get into Heaven by backing away from Hell. But attempting to live a life based on Spiritual [not religious] principles has its own reward right here on earth. It coincidentally [perhaps] meets the Biblical requirement for entrance into whatever Heaven there may be in an afterlife. It beats "backing away from Hell".

Just for the record....Neither Curdog, nor his son, have a wife at the present time. The Lady mentioned is my son's ex-wife and, I'll repeat myself, she is a GOOD woman.
Being an Atheist doesn't preclude being a good person when judging by the world's standard. And THAT is the only standard available to me.
"For who can know the heart of a man......... " ? That is very true. There will be a lot of good people go to hell though, unfortunately. You admit your religions calls for good people to suffer an eternity of torment. How is this moral? Free will. Your choice.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

What are the requirements for Heaven in your view? In my view there is only one.

Damn, Man......... You seem to be so anxious to make a point that you read whatever you NEED to read to make your point.
THIS " the Biblical requirement " is what I WROTE.
Read it again if you don't believe me.

Read it again if you don't believe me. I wasn't trying to be confrontational. I was actually trying to get to know you and what your doctrine is. The quote about being spiritual and getting into Heaven by backing away from hell made me wonder. People have a lot of different definitions about what spiritual means.

I used a singular word. You responded as if I used a plural word.
That seems more dishonest than confrontational to me.
If you honestly can't differentiate between religiosity and spirituality, I can't help you understand it.
But I think you know the difference.

Two weeks ago I was helping my younger sister redeck her pool getting the house ready to sell. It was sunday and I asked her,' don't you go to church anymore'.
Her and her husband have been involved in church forever.
'Not for two years'
Now she has worried about my soul for many years, I rejected the pulpit. Afraid of my 'spirit within' mantra.
'So what's the deal'
She asked if I've ever read the bible straight through, no cherry picking.
At least twice by the time I was 18, I told her.
'It's so different like that'
Let me guess,'Christ's life story and the Holy Spirit sound real, Paul and the rest of the bible manlike'.
She was surprised, 'Exactly'... Paul was more about Paul'
But it doesn't exclude those in pews from God.
'No'
And it doesn't exclude our LDS cousins who sit in pews?
'No'
And you are doing big works with prayer.
'Yes'
And with the spirit inside you, there is only one direction you'll end up. The other isn't even conscious.
'Yes'
And we talked for hours.
Those afraid of hell back away diverting their attention two ways... those who turned their backs and walk with the Spirit... wouldn't even know if they walked through Hell to get to heaven.

There's a lot more of US than the "Pharisees" are comfortable with.
Your sister had help figuring things out....... and it came from a SOURCE within her.
YOU couldn't have taught her that in a thousand years of trying.
