Probably not. I can't even seem to have a civil discussion with family members on politics let alone strangers. It seems to be even more dogmatic these days than religion is! >It's the getting saved bit that gets me. Like, what if my idea of Heaven >was being happy together with someone who would have to occupy Hell? I >don't want to be saved unless all my peeps can come wit me! =) Wow, you hit on one of the hardest things for me to "get" as well. Predicting the exact nature of what the afterlife will be is certainly something there is much debate about. Most people would say that our relatively superficial human relationships will fall away as we commune fully with God and nature after the second coming. Others take a certain passage in the Bible to mean memories of loved ones that are not with us any more will be wiped away. I personally don't think about it much, as it certainly is not possible for me to make sense of things that are outside the realm of my experience and/or knowledge. >/me thinks of a cartoon of god adding jerks to his mix Sounds like something that would be in the Far Side.
