People don't really understand the Christian religion all that well. Our God doesn't "get revenge" on people for worshiping other gods.
Assuming our religion is the correct one, people get sent to Hell for rejecting our god. If you worship a different religion, but have never heard of Christianity, he will have mercy on you; you will still go to Heaven.
However, if someone has taught you about the Christian religion but you reject our God, that is when you are punished.

Exodus 20:5 "You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.

There's a different verse saying something about mercy on those who don't know... But, I don't know. I didn't remember that verse.

I'm just saying there's a lot of room for interepretation of even just that one god. To be honest, nobody really understands the Christian god. Many pretend to or think they do, though.

That is true. Nobody can understand the Christian god, but that is all the more better. Then you could be equal to Him, which kind of defeats the purpose of a god. But then again, Christianity is not a hobby or something to be once in a while, it is a lifestyle.

you also can't take everything that's in the bible for granted.

Sorry for backseat modding.. but yeah

3. No politics or religious talk. Past threads have proven the majority of benheck.com too immature to maintain a calm conversation about controversial issues and debates of religion and politics. Said topics constantly conclude with several hurt feelings, and a lock. Do not force or suggest your views and ideas upon others, this is not the place for it.

I know your not arguing or being immature but its probably a matter of time before somebody does start.

Bible is a bunch of fictional stories told by people that ate to many shrooms. It is a good book for teaching someone how to live there life however.

Nipple fail or not...that picture is still just plain epic. Mario looks kinda like Al from Home Improvement (forget the actor's name).
