Jesus death and resurrection was a metaphor for all of us. We all have eternal life. There's no Pearly Gates, no angels with harps, no burning in hell. We don't live our lives just to obtain some cosmic award. There are no winners and losers.

Again, a very immature level of understanding, based on a child's view of life. Be good, get a cookie, be bad, go to bed without dessert. This is not a contest to try and make God pleased with us.

You are loved, completely and without conditions. Nothing you can do will ever change that. and the Creator did not and does not now require a blood sacrifice to buy our way into "heaven".

That's a really scary thought when you consider the implications in society if everyone adopted this belief.

So a mass murderer escapes punishment and is rewarded the same as Mother Theresa.


And people wonder why there's evil in the world?

Live for yourself for tomorrow you die!
