# splendid
How about a bird's eye view of what it's like to be a bird in flight. Pretty cool.

# Birds are bastards
Look at them, with their feathers, and their ability to fly.

# Sooo
You're saying there IS no Hell, just a pile of ashes?

Or are you saying that God is both sides there?

Or am I reading too much into a a humorous comp entry ;)

# /pedantic
according to the bible, there is no heaven AND no hell... everybody dies and stays dead until judgement day, and then people who are judged worthy will live again, the rest will stay dead.

at least, that's what I've remembered...

# Essentially that's what Jehovah's Witnesses believe
Apparently death, grave and hell are all translated from the same Sanscrit word. JWs argue that there should not be a distinction and say that heaven is for those N people who were good enough and will be resurrected on judgement day and hell is for everyone else and just means *not* being resurrected and staying dead.
Trouble is that N is a very small number (some small number of thousands) so basically your chances are nil unless you go and do good work ... the good work in question in their case is knocking on doors and converting other people. They aren't doing it 'cos they want to save you, but 'cos they want to save themselves.
Religion, you gotta love it.

EDIT: Despite it being a bunch of arse, I'll give 'em credit for staying true with what the bible actually says and not translating it to mean whatever the hell they want it to mean.

# ofcourse, there's also the option of doing whatever the hell you want
and forget about any afterlife, 'cus the chance of you getting is 1/100000000000 or something anyway :-)

# 144,000 I think
Know as the Annointed. They rule, all the rest of the JW's live in paradise on Earth, everyone else stays dead.

# Which surely means that at some point
the JW's should just accept that there are already 144,000 really good people and that just going round knocking on doors and pissing people off will not be enough to get you tickets to the new eden, so you might as well bloody well stop it!!!!

Actually if you want to stop them bothering you, put an "I give blood" sticker in your front window.
