Stupid is what those protesters were. Smart is all the fund raising done around their little display. I checked again and the sky is still up there. Nothing came crashing down when the Gay people were allowed to marry. Freedom to marry, hmmm where did I see that word? Oh yea it is the title of this thread.

God is just a way to explain what makes people like you uncomfortable. The thought that this is it and your life is finite just doesn't sit well with some folks. Its to bad because we do live in an eden. Preoccupation with this notion of eternal life just wastes what is really important. As you point out we all end up on our knees in the end. Some of just have more fun along the way.

"Eat drink and be merry, for tommorrow we die!" This is what the people said during the days of Noah.

Meanwhile, Noah was building an Ark because God told him to. It was a Way to save God's people from destruction.

The Ark was a type of Christ. Jesus is the Way that saves God's people from the destruction that a life lived for oneself leads to. Like the Ark that Noah built, Jesus is the Ark for today. Hell is real. Hello! All you have to do to experience it is to step out of your comfort zone on fat mountain and see that most people lead lives of quiet desperation (Thereau said this and he was a big appreciator of God's creation).

Having fun along the Way that leads to Life is exactly what it is all about, my blessed friend.

You would make an excellent Christian!

Get right with God and you can have the best of both worlds! This one AND the world to come!
