Is God a biker??

What a stupid question,
1,Where the fuck would he get petrol,
2,There could never be a bike salesman in heaven,
3,the bike would loose its warranty
4, it would run off the edge of a cloud and fall back to earth.

There is nothing to get people more hyped up than a good debate on religion. I have no real feelings either way. I don't believe in God as such but I think if you live by the rule of treating your fellow man as you would be treated, you can't really go too far wrong.

If I'm completely wrong and there is a God, I hope he is a biker 'cause I need all the help I can get.

It's way too late for you. Right now the big man is frowning at you saying "don't make me come down there!" You're going straight to hell you are.

As for a deity, well if that Ghostrider chap opened a chapel somewhere, I'd go and preach there.

Everytime I speed on the open roads god makes me do it.

I always say don't worry about Hell, there are so many bad bastards on this planet there's got to be a waiting list to get down there.

There have been many humorous attempts to define or describe heaven and hell in scientific terms but what I find even funnier is the fact that there are still people who believe in a literal hell. Reassure me, CK, that you are not one of them!

There is a hell. I've worked at a couple of branch offices.

you mean as in a physical hell Mike?
no, I don't see the point in a physical hell because I believe that when we die, thats the end of the road for our bodies. saying 'up there' or 'down there' is just convenient and i also don't beleive heaven is a place with lots of fluffy clouds.

I do however believe that both places exist in a spiritual sense (call it another dimension or whatever you will) that we will experience when we die.

I don't believe in hell, but I am ambivalent about it. Frankly it doesn't matter much to me. Also, it's a bit of a side track in that the love God offers is really more relevant. Converting from fear isn't really the right idea.

There is a place that has been set aside for the devil and his angels for their part in the rebellion against God pre-creation. This place was never intended for humans. As I've stated else where satan will try to hurt God by attacking the image of God, namely us humans. By bringing sin or wrong doing, rebellion against God, into the life of mankind has caused a seperation between us and God. The "sin nature" ,for want of a better word, is what has condemed us to partake in the future that was only intended for satan and his angels. (who thought terrorism was a new idea )

What is hell like?

It is a place where God is not, no love, peace, joy, forgiveness, kindness or any attribute of God. There is only anger, suffering, pain, contempt and utter frustration. Wether it is a firery burny place as we have been constantly told may be true as it visually depicts the place I have described above.

It is not a place for us, it never has been. But our choice to accept or reject what Jesus has done for us determins if we will find ourselves in a place where the attributes of God are or are not.

I agree that converting from fear is not where it is at, but from the fact that God loved us first, even though we are steeped in rebellion against God to some degree or another. It was God's love that drew me to him and His love that has kept me even when the system has had lunch at my expense. I love God because He first loved me inspite of who I was.

I'm sorry but this dichotomy of heaven or hell, reward or punishment, accept or reject, good or evil makes no sense to me at all. Human beings are simply not like that. Noone is purely good or purely evil. So where do you draw the line? Weigh me up in the celestial scales at Judgement Day and suppose I almost, but not quite, tip the balance into the Heaven category?
"Sorry, but 49% good isn't quite enough. We have high standards here, you know. Off to the other place. Pity, if only you'd tried a bit harder... What's that? Not told what the pass mark was? Unfair? Come on, you have to admit you were warned it would be tough. Not coveting your neighbour's ass, and all that bit about graven images, O.K., I admit I threw those things in just to make it a bit less off-putting, but you must have realized some of the other things would require real concentration. The adultery one has proved to be the real killer...
Whaddya mean what about a pro-rata punishment? 51% of eternal damnation?? You must be joking. It's all or nothing, matey. Sorry. Next, please..."
