You mean from your god? Now that is what I call paradise. :)

Ok so you want to get to heaven and your terrified of Hell, is that really an excuse to want to be a "good" person? Or is it because you really are a good person? I dont know you, so maybe you can answer that question.

I am agnostic!
Ohh ok. I was assuming you were something different at first.

Eternal? I like better the idea of heaven being eternal, not hell.
What do you think heaven is, an empire without limits? :lol: Why do you think someone would rebel? I could never live on Earth like this, nevermind in this heaven for all eternity. The ten commandments are just an abbreviation of the real list of "do nots", which is hundreds upon hundreds. All of them being corrupt. As an example, you can tell me one if you wish, and I can let you know what is wrong with it. Pick one, any one :wink:

Anyone who rebels goes straight to hell, kinda like a dystopian utopia?

But how can you know that?
I think there might well be a heaven. I certainly hope so! I will get to meet Fiona Bruce!

You must have forgotten all the good reasons to kill, maybe because of all the reasons you think are wrong.
One of them being self protection during desperate situations. An example: Ok, so there is this guy running at you with a knife, cornering you in an alleyway. There is nothing stopping him from killing you the second he gets to you. But wait a minute, you have a gun in your jacket. Its either you or him, so what to do next is pretty obvious. Its not your fault, furthermore, the guy was going to kill you hmmm..
A second example is abortion. When this act becomes illegal, women will become desperate, and attempt to perform it themselves or have it done by the guy in the alley with a coathanger. Do you have any idea of how dangerous this is? Women die most of the time when this happens due to infection. Also, you cant keep putting kids in orphanages, not to mention that they also get over crowded, and theres nothing stopping abusive adults from adopting them, I know from experience. You also cant keep them with a mother who is severely mentally disturbed and is obviously not fit to care for children. Or if a woman is straight up just not ready yet, no matter what it is her responsibility to do what is right and stop a problem before it will occur. How do you know they werent trying to be careful, and used a condom but it broke? Mistakes happen, so just do what you can.
Oh, and lets say there is a maniac who is about to kill an innocent child, or blow up a city, and you have him in your aim with a sniper rifle. Are you really going to think, oh no I might go to hell for this I better not do it?

There's no proof that heaven exists, nor is there proof that it does not exist. So, it's really best not to worry about the unknown. Only when you die will you know the truth. It's best to try to live in the now and make the most of your life here.

well, about the killing stuff, they did kill "sinners" at the time, literally following other Moses writings about adultery, fornication, worshiping other gods, etc, the punishment for all of that: Death.

You know, It seems that conservative christians agree with you on this, dispite the "you shall not kill" commandment in the Bible, I suppose self protection is ok, but, as you say desperate situations, can anyone clearly THINK in desperate situations? What I mean is, that it's always possible you can make a bad judgement and ending up defending yourself killing an innocent person. I say it is possible, this text belongs somewhere else I think :P

Abortion: I am pro-choice within the first 3 months only, so I agree a little with you there, although I think the reason should be actually justified.

lol, of course not, although the reason for killing or not killing should be humanitarian, not just for avoiding hell, this case seems to be an exception.

Justified? Its as justified as it can get as it is.

To your god, there is no exception. Where does it say, well, you can kill, but only if its for the right reasons.. The expection is for you to turn your cheek, and let whatever happens happen, because if something happens it is "gods will"...
Oh, and just for fun keep challenging my logic, its stimulating for me :)

Hell for a christian is liberation.
Also I dont know if I was careful enough to say everything the way I wanted but its good enough for me. Gets the point across pretty good I think.
