<< We thought that if God wasn't going to let at least some people off with
time served what was going to be the point .... of judgement day? I mean if
I've just spent 1000 years in Hell and God's about to tell me that I get to
spend the rest of eternity basking in the fire and brimstone then why should
I behave during my trial? We finally decided that maybe the answer lies in
a combination of Xtianity and Buddhism .... like there really is a heavenly
cycle, every 15 billion years or so people get bored in heaven, and start
this good/evil duality thing. It takes God about the life of the Universe
to get it all straightened out .... bad people down, good people up ....
Only some of the people who make the cut aren't deserving, and others are
just plain gullible so the every so often a rabble rousing Lucifer starts
the whole cycle again. Given this, what would happen if God just decided to
fold? Once a host rebelled why doesn't God just say screw it I'm not going
to fart with this universe, and take the loyal host he has and do his
heavenly thing? Or maybe he does ... only some people in Hell aren't quite
so bad so they somehow start their own heaven/god thing ... Which is the
conclusion that my wife and I finally arrived at .... Evil breeds Good,
while Good breeds Evil so you have all these philosophical cosmologies out
there actually generating new physical universes. >>
And then after 1000 years in hell you get to come back to earth and fly around
with fairies and grant wishes to needy people. And then you become an angel
that flies around turning pumpkins into stage coaches and making glass shoes
for poor slave girls whose step-mothers are mean to them and let them go to
balls as long as they promise to return by midnight. Where do the 7 dwarves
fit in?
The problem with newer religions is there dependence on older dogma. To
accept the dogma of say Mormonism you must first accept all the dogma of
Christianity which also would cause you to accept the dogma of Judaism.
Im gonna quote the words of Bernard LaPlant from the movie "Hero" - "When you
grow up you'll discover that there is no truth, just piles of bullshit, pardon
my vulgarity, piled on top of eachother. You have to accept the layer of
bullshit you're comfortable with."
