@kaza--thats not true about only chose or reject--some people never learn hat or get exposed to it...they get a free ride b/c of this
like babies or bimbubaba in some remote village
@Paul...don't think so. Not that simple and anyone's life is not that predictable.

Jesus is missing there, so not truth for me.
Yeah, I finally have a sig.

How could anyone with no knowledge of right or wrong just make it up some day? Why do animals not act this way? If right and wrong is all subjective, then how can there even be laws? How would have people ever universally agreed on these things if everything was subjective to everyone? |
People have universally agreed on morals? We hadn't the last time I checked.
There are things that are virtually (=almost) universal to all cultures. Without an exception, they are things that strenghten the community, and facilitate survival. Animals that live in packs have something similar.
Right and wrong are easily explainable as humans *gasp* evolving so that people who behave in a way beneficial to the community are more likely to breed, and thus pass on their genes. Group working is undeniably one hell of a survival trait in hunter-gatherer communities. This also present an interesting niche for people who don't have morality as we know it.
There is no proof for this explanation, but it's logical and scientific, while a magical man who created the world teaching these things to us is not.

I read the song as a praise of free thought, without any organization telling you what to think.
To me the concept of an afterlife is a smart way of controlling the minds of people in this life. And the more control you give away of your mind, the worse it is.
@link--i know Jesus walked this earth at one time
but i still think the bible is the most dangerous and incorrect book out there.
i know some things happened in the book, but it was still a man that witnessed them and that is why they are incorrect
you cant write about a miracle and make people understand, you have to see it

If you says so.
I think God is more intelligent than that. There are too many millions of people that...
A) came way before Jesus
B) Have never heard of Jesus/Christianity of any form
C) Have plenty of reasons to think Chrsitianity, not necissarily Jesus, are bogus. I mean have you actually read the bible and studied Christian history??? So full of inaccuracies, obvious tampering, and contradictions is just amazing.
God couldn't possible be omnipotant and put all those who are really good moral people, like Gandi, etc, in Hell simply because they didn't accept Jesus.
You and others really need to think on a much bigger scale.

He's not counting those people. You know, "THOSE" people. Just the ones that he wants to count, and they all universally agree.
