Heaven and Hell

[LadyWolf]

People may have some effect on your life but it's how you handle it that determines your happiness. Just like the lunatics that sit on their computers with tin foil hats on, typing a bunch of annoying nonsense. Then when someone says something to them, they flip out and have their accounts deleted.

True, but my point is, were still human. Were gonna get upset unless everyone lives like they live in PLEASANTVILLE, and from what I read on here, I seriously doubt it. So people are gonna tick you off, and some people just try to piss people off because they get some thrill out of doing it. THEY LIKE DOING IT. They may as well be the Devil themselves!!!

.....but if you just ignore them and laugh at them, you will be happy :shrug: Why let some idiot that you don't even know, have any effect on your happiness.

Your right, but generally the first reaction is get mad. I wasn't exactly happy when someone put chewed gum on my purse the other morning. I couldn't exactly laugh at that. I can't laugh at that today but I have calmed down, the gum came off and all is okay. Thats the kind of thing I'm talking about. Sometimes it just takes time to settle down but you still get ticked off and it's because of people.

People can attempt to influence your life but your reaction to what they say/do is the only way your life can really be changed. You don't HAVE to let anybody affect your life.

Why not look at it this way.
You were careless about your surroundings enough to let someone put gum on your backpack...be happy they hadn't tried to stab you instead

No, I'm not taking the blame for someone else's mental issues. I wasn't careless, they shouldn't have put gum on the bag...it's that simple. Trust me when I say, if something happened to you like perhaps "oh your house was robbed" or "your car was egged", you certainly wouldn't be taking the blame. You would be on the phone calling the cops and you wouldn't be laughing and making jokes cause I could say "Well, gee, at least they didn't try and rape your wife and shoot you in the back. Why were you so careless? You should have been awake all night standing guard!!!" So...don't go there with me!!

You are the PERFECT example of SOMEONE trying to piss someone off!!

Sure, right, whatever!!! Lets just all be happy and no matter how much we disagree or agree or have no opinion or have every opinion, we all live in PLEASANTVILLE and we have no emotions and we just all smile all of the time and nothing will bother us ever again. So you can say whatever you like because we are all just so happy and thankful that we have each other!!

If you had NO emotions, you couldn't be happy now could you?

I debate/ argue on here all the time, but my mood doesn't change. i don't go home and beat the wife or kick the dog because I had a bad day.. I just don't have bad days.

You're in control of your day to day life, you're in control of how you react to others, the environment, and life in general. If you make it matter, it matters if you don't, it doesn't.

Bubble Gum on a backpack wouldn't have ruined my day.. someone stealing one of my cars or my bike wouldn't ruin my day.. I might hunt down the person that did it and break their legs, but I'll be smiling while I'm doing it.

Not saying NOTHING would piss me off or ruin my day, but it would take a lot to do it.. normal life and daily drama just doesn't do it.

I've got a picture of a black hole, do you have a picture of God?

Certainly a picture of somewhere in space. Prove it's a black hole.

So, no opinion on the question then?

First of all the bible, in the end of times (Revelation), does not talk about a heaven as a place where we go after God judges us. It does refer to heaven as the place where God resides. I don't claim to understand what or where that place is, but for the sake of argument, we get to heaven (or obtain eternal life with God) if we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior. It’s just that simple. This has been beat up over and over and you know what my answer always is. This is my belief. This is the belief of billions (if not trillions) throughout the past 2 millennia. You want to know more about it open up the Bible and read it with an open heart. I can’t answer for those die before hearing the Gospel. I can’t answer for those that came before Jesus. I assume God has that figured out and hasn’t revealed it to us, just like science hasn’t revealed all the answers of our universe yet.

But this is a waste because you have closed yourself off to it and only want to question the validity of it. So my counter to that is, I can no more prove to you that there is a "heaven" or "hell" than you can prove to me that our universe is expanding. I can no more prove you that God created LIFE than you can prove that LIFE came about through spontaneous chemical interactions. I can no more prove to you that I am going to heaven than you can prove that we will all be sucked into a black hole and become another form of life through that process. With things that you can’t absolutely see, touch, hear, smell, etc… you are simple left with your personal form of belief of how things are.

Well, if you want to technical, no it hasn't ruined my day because the day is still the same regardless of what transpires. My mood has changed because of someone else. However, what transpires somehow can have a domino affect... one thing goes wrong and more times than not, more things will go wrong through the course of the day. If things don't matter, then basically you have no emotion and don't give a damn.

If Heaven is the absolute best thing you can think of, and Hell is the absolute worst, what would be your Heaven and Hell?

I had that album back in the day. It rocked!

I love that album and song!!!
