I went to a brunch this morning and was debating with some of my fundamentalist co-workers about evolution/Intelligent Design. When at the suggestion of an LPSG member I brought up the argument involving the role of sex in evolution and told him how much I enjoyed all forms of it without intent to procreate, he calmy told me, "You have some redeeming qualities, John, but you're going to hell. I will pray for you." He was serious; I was dumbfounded.

I wish I could report that I had a witty retort, but I was so taken aback that I just walked away. It was the first time I had ever been told literally to go to hell.

Just thought I'd share this in case you did not know you are in the presence of evil.:mad: John

Well on that basis most of us here will be going so that should make it a great place. :biggrin1:
 
ColJohn--there is really no witty report for that. Anyone who can look someone in the face and condemn them like that knows very little about their own faith.

As I have said, I am am going to hell--at least I know I will be among great company. Party at my house. All night, everynight!!

I would have thought that someone whose entire sex life is focused exclusively on procreation is already living in some kind of hell, tbh.

My home is your home, COLJohn.

Also--how can we PROVE today is Sunday? HMMMM?!?!?

What if 3 days from now is really Sunday?

What if there really aren't seven days in the week afterall?

Man, are we ever FUCKED.

Damn, that's the kind of retort I wanted to say but couldn't come up with at the time. I also just remembered something that Sarte (I think it was he) said: "Hell is other people." I assume assholes qualify as humans.

Yes ... believe it or not God isn't as vindictive as most of organized religion would have you think ...

The best thing just might be Jesus': Judge not lest ye be judged.
(and yes, it was Sartre... l'enfer, c'est les autres)
