I forgot that you don't 'do' metaphors very well. What I really said was: Christianity is all about 'being good' because you fear punishment or hope for a reward. Both the punishment (Hell) and reward (Heaven) are levied on you at sometime in the future (Judgement Day). So I used the metaphors of a perpetual 'tomorrow' and the American saying 'the check's in the mail' to represent promises (or threats) that are 'supposed' to be coming you're way. ...Bill! --- In mailto:Zen_Forum%40yahoogroups.com, Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > > > Â what check.."money money money...makes you funny"..abba song > Â merle > Â > Kris, > > All will be delivered tomorrow...the check's on the way...Bill! > > --- In mailto:Zen_Forum%40yahoogroups.com, Kristopher Grey <kris@> wrote: > > > > On 9/7/2012 6:57 AM, Edgar Owen wrote: > > > Christianity is the biggest scam on the planet because it promises > > > everything and delivers nothing! > > > > All appears so, when one seeks from other. > > > > KG > > >
