Assuming you mean heaven (as opposed to some unknown village named Heavan), I'm also assuming you think you bought God's friendship by spending some time in a religious institution every week. How nice of God, to be giving away entrance tickets to heaven so easily.
You should thank Him for His mercy on your antisocial thoughts regarding foreign people. God doesn't want peace, does He? Or has He sold His soul by guaranteeing you a safe spot in heaven, when there will be no Iraqi's, because Iraqi's don't attend churches?

Or is heaven simply that place in your mind where you find peace after fooling yourself with spiritual contradictions? If so, count your blessings, because indeed you're going to heaven. Good luck out there, sinner!

lol@religious people who think they can manipulate God

Facez:

Just to clarify, you dont get into heaven by going to church or your own works (cuz even one is guilty of commiting sin) in order to get into heaven God wants perfection but  the thing is no one is perfect, you still haved sin, if God judged everyone for the good things that they did he would have to judge everyone differently and then he would also have to judge us for the bad we have done.  that is why christ (sinless/perfect) sacrificed his life (The lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world) for us, that by his sheding of blood we are saved,

im tired of when people put christianity under the same umbrella as all these other religions which claim that being good alone or praying or doing something for God will guarantee you a place in heaven (but what about the bad things you do). Christianity is the only religion where God did something for us so that we can get into heaven. when you start understanding what Christianty is about you realise that it is deeper than how it looks/is portrayed.

i think a lot of people leave their religion because of a lack of understanding or how it is being portrayed, by the media/hypocrites.

(just my two cents)

Sikotic™:
Religion is a way for people of weakness to feel more righteous and to have a sense of control in their lives. They are afraid to admit that they do not (and nobody will have all of life's answers. So to fill this void, they come up with a fairy tale in order to answer life's mysteries. Those, like myself, who accept the realities of life do not need need to know the answers or to feel above anyone else because I will die and rot like the rest of you, thus making religion irrelevant. I don't really need that fairy tale ending of heaven to make me sleep well at night. My destiny is death (just like everything else in the known universe) and we will all fall victim to it.

Fuck it, ready for my opinions, seeing as though barely anybody on this board believes in God, I'ma be honest and prolly crucified, but fuck it, since we clearly understand how y'all feel about God believers, here's what I think, I think atheist's think they are better than anybody else. That's how I feel. Why do I feel that why? I feel like they put people down, 'y'all are dumb, ain't no such thank as God, y'all gullible'. I feel they like power. We all have rights, and we all choose to believe what we want, however, they seem to think everythang a man does with a sense of God, violates THEIR rights. They are changing laws. They are trying' to wipe out classes and history in school. They have a strong hand on control and they lovin' it. I believe it has suburban culture written all over it. Basically becuz the poor man slash wise man believes in faith and ya'll seem to think we get what we deserve by decisions that we make, but of course we look to God sayin' he choose us to have this life, which y'all think is an excuse to living the way we do. I am NOT racist but I AM prejudice against class and I believe it is a rich man's religion.

There's no such thang as God becuz there's no proof. Well there is proof. Y'all just don't wanna see it. I mean these are my opinions, it's just how I feel. Ya'll may not even come close to this.. I just am SHOCKED, becuz I never KNEW atheism is as big as it is. Esp in America. But I find it crazy that Britain brought religion HERE and lived by it, we all know history so I ain't gon explain, but they brought it HERE, built the new world on religion and now they don't believe in it. Hmm. Britain is like what, more than 30% atheist? Now, America's gonna follow them again? All I'ma say is faith move mountains, it has explanations, and in my heart it's the truth. I CAN'T comprehend how ya'll look the other way, but I guess ya'll can say the same for me. That's life I suppose.

I just don't like the 'atheist' belief. I think it takes away from hope. I think it's not gettin' pushed off as an 'excuse' now. All I think it is, is a scary trend, and we all know once one person starts somethang, followers come with it. Kinda like the frobidden fruit. Put faith into somethang ya'll, it's not bad, trust.
