Hell or Rebirth?
Current mood:

I recently
had the opportunity to over hear a conversation between a man and a woman at
work the other day. I usually don't stand too near people when I am on a
smoke break cause I like to feel the world around me during those brief moments
away from duty. But it was raining and it forced me to seek coverage,
can't be soaked when I work. The man was talking about what he will do on
his vacation. He plans on visiting his son's grave and placing a
confederate flag on his grave. Then he mentioned to the woman that the
police have found his son's killer. But what he said next really
distrubed me. And it was that comment that made me want to write this.
He said to her, "Now they can send him to Hell where he
belongs".
I am not against punishment for your sins. This distrubs me cause he actually believes in Hell and that his son's killer will go there when he dies. This man is obviously a Christian. This man and his view is one of the million things I have against Christianity. This man is not alone in his opinion of reality.
What if I was to tell him that man will NOT go to Hell, he will only be reborn. And possibly come back very angry. Where do you think all these kids are coming from that already have anger and hate in their hearts from the time they were small? Bad genes? Bad parents? Bad parenting?
Many scientists have done studies to prove one way or another if its enviroment or genetics that make you who you are. What if its neither. What if its our past?
More and more every day I think this world would be better off if Christians were the minority. Now, I am not saying that some other religion is better. But really look at what has already been done in the name of God. The Christian God.
The Crusades, crusaders ran all over and basically said at the tip of a sword. Convert or die. Reminds me of Chronicles of Riddick really. They went everywhere. All over Europe. Our nations founding fathers ran to America to get away from all that tyrany. The pledge of allegiance got the words "Under God" added to them in 1954.
How about the Salem witch trials. Women were burned cause the bible says 'do not suffer a witch to live'. But there is the same problem with that as with every other translation. The original word literally translates to "poisioner" not "witch". But even so, Christian God says killing witches is ok.
I could go on and on here. But I wont. Wake up people, Reincarnation is real. Do you really think you are only allowed less than 100 years on this earth to determine where you will spend the rest of eternity? That is laughable. Its like telling your newborn baby, you have like one day to decide what you are going to be for the rest of your life. Maybe more like one hour. They cant even comprehend something like that.
For all of you that say, then why do we all not remember. I have an answer to that. Imagine all the cruelities that have been perpetrated on others. Rape, torture, death, maiming, disfigurement, being blind, loss of limbs, beatings. If you suffered any of that, would you want to remember it? Or when you rebirthed, would you want a clean slate? But our pains can carry over unconsciously. Fear of heights, of water, animals, inclosed spaces. Why does the general population seem like its getter angrier younger? Or why do we have more psychological problems? Because the bible says "an eye for an eye". We kill, killers. People dont die for a cause anymore. We dont kill to defend our home. We have to rely on this country's lawmen to defend our rights and liberties, and we have to rely on them for justice. So they kill, killers. Killers die, unforgiven, angry, and remorseless. They come back, angry children who stab their classmates in kindergarden or even preschool. Five year olds looking up at adults and saying "you dont know who you are messing with". Children that show no remorse when they burn the neighbors cat alive in a trashcan. This is the world we created. By killing killers, like that is justice. If we want our children to be born hatefree, we have to learn that this isnt such a clear cut and black and white world as the Bible will tell you.
As far as Jesus's message, God's message. What is he really trying to tell us? You dont need some book with hundreds of pages that has been passed down for over 2000 years. Its a very simple message. Its the same message that Buddists, Pagans, Druids. All religions from every walk of life has the same bottom line message. And they dont have a "Book" for it. Simply put... Listen closely.....
If it harms none, do what ye will.
I live by that simple message every day. And so do thousands of others that are not labeled Christian. They dont kill others to spread that message. It is time that the human race grew up. It is time we stopped being angry teenagers shouting into the world "you dont understand me!!!" Stop. Just stop. Grow up.
