![]() "Cub Driver" wrote in message news ![]() Reminds me of that guy on Seinfeld--Elaine's boyfriend. "Do you mean that you think I'm going to hell?" "Yeah." "Doesn't that bother you? I'm going to burn in hell for, oh, years and years--doesn't that bother you?" "Why should it bother me? I'm not going to hell; you are." I went to Hell back in December. It was quite nice. We sent out some postcards ("Wish you were here") and Christmas cards ("Merry Christmas from Hell") and took some pictures of us with the devil (he doesn't give autographs) and bought the T-shirt from Hell. I would like to open a flight school there. People would come from all over to learn to fly with the flight instructor from Hell. I would also sell an ultralight or small plane kit called the Bat, so people could fly a Bat out of Hell. Jane and I are planning to go back in November. This time I would like to fly us there, so I can land in Hell. |

![]() "C J Campbell" wrote in message ... I distrust violent religious zealots, including atheists and other supposedly non-religious types who think it is their mission in life to protect the world from those who have religious beliefs. None of them can be trusted. You just named 105% of the population of the Earth. |

I have no reason to believe that Mel Gibson is either violent or dishonest. True. But his views of his wife's ultimate demise *are* creepy, IMHO. If one really believed that their spouse was doomed to eternal damnation, as Gibson seems to, can you imagine the day-to-day dynamic between them? What interesting dinner conversations they must have! Mel:"Honey?" Wife: "Yes, Mel?" Mel: "Go to hell!!". |

Frankly, the supposedly non-religious appear to be every bit as dangerous and bigoted as the very devout. The non-religious didn't slaughter 260 million in the past 1000 years. |

Three years later, "I am now as before a Catholic..." the quotation from Hitler was recorded in the diary of Gerhard Engel, an SS Adjutant, in October 1941. Hitler was speaking in private, not before a mass audience, and so it is difficult to dismiss the comment as propaganda lies. Great literature was banned by his church, but his miserable Mein Kampf never appeared on the Index of Forbidden Books |

Hitler was speaking in private, not before a mass audience, and so it is difficult to dismiss the comment as propaganda lies. Great literature was banned by his church, but his miserable Mein Kampf never appeared on the Index of Forbidden Books Whether Hitler claimed to be a Catholic or not, he is very much secular. I guess the Ukrainians, fellow Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Russians, Italians, Yugoslavs, French, Danes, Dutch, and everyone else who Hitler slaughtered are all very happy to know that they don't count in your tally of 30 million. I guess their lives don't mean very much. In addition to the Nazis, though, you have wholesale exterminations by the Soviet Communists, the Chinese Communists, the Khmer Rouge, the French Terror and the Napoleonic empire that followed it, Hussein's Iraq, the Shah's Iran, Pancho Villa and many other secular regimes and terrorists that slaughtered hundreds of millions. Since secularists are so proud of claiming that the founding fathers of the US were secularists, I suppose the extermination of the American Indians was also fostered by secularists. Your statistics about religionists slaughtering 260 million are a little suspect, too. How is that calculated? I would not be surprised if that number is wildly off, either way. Whenever I hear someone claim that religious belief causes all the wars and misery in the world, I someone who is buying into the idea of disenfranchising all the people he hates, rounding them up, and exterminating them. It is all about money and property. Religion is sometimes used as an excuse, but it is always about gold and power. |
