The Root of All Evil

Just in case all this is true, we should live by this set of rules jotted down a long time ago and interpreted by who today? Just in case we, should limit our imaginations, pleasures, actions and reactions to first thinking, “Does this possible devine and loving God approve of this?”. Then what if one God, say the Catholic’s God says it’s okay, but somebody else’s God, say Allah, says it’s not okay? Should we not do it just in case?

This is an awful lot of rules. Then what happens if we die and, BINGO, no consequences? Do we get to go back and relive our lives or are folks like you going to be standing there saying, “Gee, sorry, guess you coulda nailed that hot girl afterall. Here’s a Smiley Face Sticker for not tryin’.”

Sorry, but I go back to my original point, that this is just fear-mongering. If you like it, do it. As for me, leave me out of your shenanigans and shame on you for trying to scare ignorant people. And don’t give me that, “I’ll pray for your soul” bullshit, either. God knows me plenty well enough without you stickin’ my name into your endless chatter.

The Bible is a wonderful book, but it’s not the only one. Salvation is a wonderful idea, but you do not have the first clue to it. “Love your neighbor as yourself” is the best piece of advice out there. The part most folks forget is that it requires that you love yourself first.
