Anyhow, i spend a lot of my internet time jumping from hyperlink to hyperlink reading whatever i can read on bikes and in many cases religion. I am convinced by my severly lack of belief in any deity that all you need to survive in this day and age without gut-wrenching pain via guilt is to be honest, open and decent with your fellow man or woman. this is also supported by most religious teachings whether jewish, hindu, buddhist or christian, so, you'd this we'd be covered for death for most religions.
NO!
This apparently is not the case. I talked for a long time with someone who was part of the UNCU [Univerity of Newcastle Christian Union], i think for the best part of an hour, when all i wanted was this cup of free tea they were offering (which i previously received without the sales pitch). To sum it up, i said i didn't believe in god, there is no way jesus could have been affected by eastern religious teachings of peace even though there is proof, this guy couldn't accept mistranslations from aramaic and hebrew could attribute to a change of how the bible is actually an important political document as well as religious, not being able to understand how many of the new testament books were written post jesus dying on the cross and .....
.... so long as I believe in Jesus, i will goto heaven, even if i punched everyone in a queue of freshers in the face. jesus would only be, in fact, a little sad :(
SO to cure the winter blues of the religious sales force feeding you "The Word" here is some extra curricular reading [yes, all these are wiki pages, get over it]. Firstly, Theosophy, a "religion" which looks to unite everyone in common belief and stop man from being jerks to one another. Secondly, comparative religion, this is one of the areas of research in theosophy which looks to help link everyone up in spiritual thought.
AND finally, if this hasn't sold any spirituality to you and you wanna party this winter like Jesus was never born, hit this list up.
Hope you enjoyed this read XO

Was once confronted by mormons and after saying I was agnostic, probably siding on atheism, they said I would not achieve true salvation unless i converted. The conversation ended when I asked them 'Would God judge me a bad person if I did not recognise him in my mortal life but had done good throughout my life, or if I was a sinner throughout but had finally repented and believed in god on my death bed?' They repeated that I had to recognise God, or else I would not reach Heaven. Since then, I've not cared for Christianity
it doesnt matter what you do in life aslong as you say sorry to jesus, god will think your rad
