Interesting video. Thanks. Never saw. Yes. And what’s kinda funny Rachel is that my mom was such a beautiful person who was loved by all and was the pillar of the community who helped so many. But according to Christians, she went to Hell because she wasn’t a believer in Christ. All so weird.

I never saw this either. I'm a believer. But I only discuss it with others who believe as I do. And I feel no disdain toward people of other beliefs or none. And for what it's worth, the most "Christian" person in my world has not stepped into a church for over 50 years.

Can I ask who that most “Christian” person is ? If private I understand. I’m not a believer in any religion because I simply find them elementary and boring- Unconvincing. If you want to rock your boat with excitement.. study carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus - the origins of life.

The person is my sister. I am in my silver hair days so have known a lotta peeps but she stands out. Religious texts (I've seen a few) are not something that I find elementary or boring. They can be quite complex.

Yes, boring is probably not the best word. For me, the creation story, Noah's Ark, Jonah and the whale, various miracles of Jesus, the age of the Earth, Adam and Eve.. this is not believable. Plus.. my gramma believed she was going to hell because she was caught dancing and she had lipstick on.

My mother was told, as a child, that she would go to purgatory if she fidgeted while kneeling in church. A different time. My beliefs have more to do with how we live in relation to others. Golden rule kind of stuff.

I would be much more comfortable with religion if more believers were like you Trish or were as compassionate and empathetic as my atheist mom.

I would be more comfortable too. I've never understood people who beat you over the head with angry righteousness. All I see in that is someone I don't want to emulate.

I don’t understand judging people for their beliefs over their behaviour. Franklin Graham stated: “Christianity is not about being good; it’s about being saved and knowing Jesus Christ as your personal Savior.” That sums it up I guess.

A word salad for sure. I am not religious. The entire story of Christianity makes no sense to me. I live my life here on the farm as if it’s the opening and the final act. Enjoy this life because that’s all there is.

Lights out baby. That’s how I see it too. Thanks for sending. Never saw that. Like it. Copied it. .. And that belief is comforting in a way. Live life fully today because it’s all we got.

While in university I worked in a Catholic convent with elderly, ill nuns. One of them asked me if I feared going to hell when I’d told her I’m an atheist. I told her nothing worried me less. I thought to myself, I’m here helping you every day for minimum wage and you think I’m going to hell?
