If either of them were alike with earth than why do spirits and demons and such want to come here or stay here as the case may be. Personally i think the after life is so completely different from this physical plain that we can't even begin to imagine what it will be like. So different that your time here won't have any real meaning to you anymore. Should be quite interesting when i find out for sure hehe. Well now that i've put my 2 cents in i say bravo. Well done Seraphine. Heck awaits all us sinners lol! Actually i find the typical christian views of heaven and hell quite amusing.

Since I moved to NY, I've been cursing worse than a sailor. I should really learn to resort to minced oaths. I liked that link you posted about minced oaths.

Crossing the threshold of hope to a faith has nothing to do with escaping any threat of eternal damnation from an abstractly created God and its abstract human wrathful derivations. A Faith that is non judemental which show reverence to all life - but not in an abstract universal sense, but rather to show respect to both indivduals and respect to individual and cultural differences.

No saints, no sinners, No devil as well. No pearly gates, no thorny crown. Youre always letting us humans down. The wars you bring, the babes you drown. Those lost at sea and never found, And its the same the whole world round. The hurt I see helps to compound, That the father, son and holy ghost, Is just somebodys unholy hoax, And if youre up there youll perceive, That my hearts here upon my sleeve. If theres one thing I dont believe in... Its you, Dear god. I was reminded of a favorite song by xtc:

Dear god,
I cant believe in,
I dont believe in,

I wont believe in heaven and hell.
No saints, no sinners,
No devil as well.
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.
Youre always letting us humans down.
The wars you bring, the babes you drown.
Those lost at sea and never found,
And its the same the whole world round.
The hurt I see helps to compound,
That the father, son and holy ghost,
Is just somebodys unholy hoax,
And if youre up there youll perceive,
That my hearts here upon my sleeve.
If theres one thing I dont believe in…

Its you,
Dear god.

We were so sure of ourselves despite our insecurities. Kira. Hopefully we won't have to think about it for a looong time. Lindsaylobe. I love your thoughtful comment. Is it still faith if it's non-judgemental? Matthew. I love your myspace page. You are instantly likeable. Nova-san. I'm sure you make off-color much more colorful for everyone. Susan.

This is a faith given statement and a faith as I define it as unconditional concern and as such precedes everything else since any attempt to define it will in turn be reliant on a particular faith. As such it is faith which involves a leap in faith, if you want to call that judgment fine, but to me it is simply a leap in faith in the absence of any judgment. True it is reason that brings about our questions as to ultimate concern in the first instance, just as some form of reason or intellect is essential to all forms of life, whatever existential state and level of consciousness or otherwise since we all evolve from the same source. A faith infers certain causality and freedom in individual choices and all life whilst remaining consistent within the ultimate idea of determinism. Awareness will cause us to ask these questions and those of ultimate faith which is what faith is. When we attempt to separate out what is good, the spirit and say what is bad, let us say the body, we cage our thinking into a futile dichotomy. What is sacred and good has no need of such boundaries.
