My partner of 25 years and I were talking about this subject. There seems to be some kind of craze going on now where something like 85% of people believe in Christ.

Where I believe that Christ in His humility and love was a person to respect, admire, and follow, I have a hard time in the belief of Heaven.

Why, because the spirit of humanity does not follow Christian values of humility, sacrifice, and caring for your fellow beings.

Today's world makes corporate greed, extreme wealth, and war on innocent countries and their people Godly. To me, spending eternity with that type of people, is a definition of Hell.

I believe it is far easier to tell ourselves that our earthly sins will be forgiven and we will spend everlasting life in Heaven, than to acknowledge self accountability and responsibility and that our duty is to make life better here now.

I am sick of the right wingers boycotting commercial ventures for saying Happy Holidays, while they allow Santa and commercialism to be the main message of their movement.

Christmas time is the season for getting in touch with your spiritual side, at least for us. Sorry if this is a rant.
