about six thousands or so years ago man decided there was a god up there somewhere with a 'heaven' of golden streets, etc. A hell down below where one goes to burn forever. Somehow I think you people who believe in this fairytale are being mislead. IMO

You are no different than that bug that last hit your windshield while you were going whatever mph. When you die you will be dead and thats it

Again IMHO

To each his or her own but I'm not going to waste my time on religious bull

Peace
Have a great Sunday
