Thread Name: BS: What is 'Heaven and Hell'?
Subject: RE: BS: What is 'Heaven and Hell'?
I didn't know this was for superstitious people only? Pardon my French..

Twice I have contributed to this thread as per the thread title. Neither post was religious nor entertained religion. It merely said that there is the heaven and hell that describes your idea of perfection and your idea of your worst nightmare. Then there is the heaven and hell that is promised or threatened to you.

You, you may recall, started bringing fantasy into it. Heaven and hell are words that transcend religion as they are in everyday use, often by rational people.

My observation of you reflects the way you have started having a pop at anybody who doesn't share your delusion. Fine, I envy you. I really do. I wish I could believe in jam tomorrow. I can't though and find the defensive attitude of religious people on this and current threads to be somewhat disturbing. It seems alright to use the word atheist in a derogatory way, even to link it with the term militant. Yet the minute someone says they don't believe in all that God bollocks, you find it appalling. Yet does it occur to you that the opposite can apply? That religion tries to impede science, tries to control people yadda yadda yadda?

If I ever said I wasn't interested in a thread, you can tell because I don't go on it. If people can address this thread without reference to their imaginary friend, live with it.
