it's fun to imagine our heathen co-workers suffering eternal damnation
that pushy fundamentalcase you have to work with, the one who gives you so much shit all the time, yet smiles at you and stabs you in the back? he likes to daydream about you, the godless heathen, or catholic, or jew, or atheist, or muslim, dying and going to hell, where you will forever burn in a lake of molten sulfur.

only he really believes it. that's one of the greatest joys of being superior in your piousness. "I" am going to join the lord forever, and laugh at your unending suffering and wailing from afar, where you will be able to see me, sipping mint julips with jesus.

'hey jesus, look at steve the unbeliever from accounting down there, he's not laughing at me or my religion NOW is he?'

'what's that steve?..you want just one drop of my bottomless mint julip'? tough shit heathen, suck lava.

one can be oh so smug and superior when you know in your heart that all the ones who disagree with you will suffer forever in the hands of a big red devil.

1. I'm pretty sure that they'd have a "hate detector" on the pearlies.

2. I remember kids in school acting like this
I had many a know-it-all school kid tell me I was going to hell. One charitable Catholic boy told me once I would go to Purgatory, got to give him credit for that one.

I don't get into conversations about religion in the workplace. It's better that way.

Just think, when they die will they be thinking, "where is it?" right before they black out completely into unconsciousness.

17. My kids have both had other kids
Tell them that they were going to hell because they don't go to church. Way to spread the love!

3. That's why they believe
in blood sacrifice and ritualistic cannibalism - suffering and benefit from suffering. Hey, you can't WIN unless someone else LOSES, right?

7. Are you Ann Coulter?
Isn't it scary but she and many like her really believe what you sarcastically stated.

6. Yeah but I don't know how you square that with the life of Christ
I mean here's a guy who came back to save people who 100% deserve to be in Hell. He didn't think it was worthwhile just to sit back and condemn, instead he tried to save.

People who take pleasure in others damnation will have their own problems with damnation.

9. square it with the life of a mythical made up person?
every element of the christian religion was appropriated, borrowed, or stolen from a previously existing culture/religion, the virgin birth, resurrection, all of it. and don't forget the xmas tree and the easter egg, at least those are fun.

PS - I have written a book that tells us what god really is. I am right and everyone else is wrong. how do I know? because my book says so! sounds familiar....

10. Well, OK.
But as a Christian I'm not really going to agree with that interpretation.

12. When they say "Your going to go to hell" it's not a warning.
It's their fondest wish.

13. Heaven

Everyone is trying to get to the bar.
The name of the bar, the bar is called Heaven.
The band in Heaven plays my favorite song.
They play it once again, they play it all night long.

Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.

There is a party, everyone is there.
Everyone will leave at exactly the same time.
Its hard to imagine that nothing at all
could be so exciting, and so much fun.

Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.

When this kiss is over it will start again.
It will not be any different, it will be exactly
the same.
It's hard to imagine that nothing at all
could be so exciting, could be so much fun.

Heaven is a place where nothing every happens.
Heaven is a place where nothing every happens.

14. Just what is Heaven LIKE, anyway?
From what I can tell from the bits of hints in the Bible, it's basically singing "Hosanna" and "Hallelujah" all day. And if one gets to Heaven before Judgment Day, does that mean that one will be required to sing in the Armegeddon Choir? Or will one be able to opt out if one objects to singing while 1/3 of the world burns?

15. Some of the Puritans actually believed that
watching the "damned" being tortured would be one of the pleasures of heaven.
