Which means he is now ignoring you free will in your choise to be remorseful. If god won't forgive someone once they are in hell then he is permiting infinite punishment for a finite crime. Even someone who murdered 100 people has commited a measurable amount of evil; burning them for hell in eternity even if they show remorse after a few years is being cruel and unjust. You did read where I stated individual and final judgement didn't you? [hide=][/hide]

God cannot hear you in Hell, correct. God does forgive if you WANT to be forgiven. In which case you would go to either Purgatory or Heaven, depending on whether you are "clean" or not. Once you are in Hell, it is too late, however. God cannot hear your cries, because you would have chosen to shut him out for the rest of your existence.

Well to be perfectly honest, everyone has their own beliefs. You've asked questions and I've done my best to answer. No need to start the "you're stuck in your own religion" stuff. It's fairly easy to understand the reasoning. The whole thing revolves from a central idea. God is happiness (Bear with me, lol). How could Hell be Hell with God's existence in it? Hell that isn't completely sad or cut-off from God isn't Hell, it's called LIFE. You can't enjoy Hell at all, because there's no happiness to be happy about it! And if you died and wound up in another life, it's called re-incarnation. My faith believes you are not re-incarnated. Now, the reasoning behind "Hell is a one-way ticket." are sent to Hell when they make a remorseless (remorseless being that they truly have no guilt whatsoever of committing their sins) decision to choose Hell over God. They go to Hell because 1. They reject Heaven and 2. The only other place there is, is Hell. It's either you are worthy now, not worthy, but will be, or not worthy, and never will be. Why does God not simply destroy them and end their suffering? Because they chose the suffering. To destroy them would be to deny them of their free will. And their choice would have been to reject God, therefore they reject happiness. That is what they truly wished for. An eternity without happiness (Getting repetitive, I know.) And God did not create Hell. Sin, Satan's action, created Hell. He resides there as there is nowhere else he can reside. In the beginning, life was perfect. That basically was Heaven. Sin tarnished the perfect world, so, thus Jesus Christ's death and the New Eternal Kingdom's existence. It makes sense in a reasonable manner. If you were to punch an old helpless lady and not feel sorry for it, then you're probably going to hell. If you would feel sorry, or, not even do it, then you're basically safe. And this is true remorse, not that silly childish "I'm sorry, now don't take away the video games, please." Wow, that was a really long-winded one. Sorry for the massive text blocks.

Life, apparently. A lot of famous people die everyday. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recent_deaths Anyways, Rest In Peace. :|

Ok, ok, I see now. The last part made me laugh lol.

:lol: I never wear jeans as well. Jeans are the most comfortable piece of leggings the world as ever known! :shock: Sweat pants or pajama bottoms thank you. Or khakis, you know, when it's not winter and I don't want to look like "that psycho kid." Even though I could wear sweats 24/7. 100 degrees or -100 degrees.

Fantastic rant! =D> Have a Pepsi. : I agreed with everything you said minus the parts about randomness. Sometimes randomness is very funny when used properly. Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Super Jail live off of it and I feel they did a very good job with the comedic insanity. I can't say the same for Xavier, but, like someone already mentioned, it's a mind [bleep]. And, lol @ Verma. I laughed so hard I don't know why.

MEGA LOL! :lol:

^ Someone did. I thought it was a ringworm, lol.

That is just fantastic. =D> Wikipedia - It has also been known to be a delicacy in China, served in a traditional noodle soup. Ok now that's pretty... strange.

For a price... And significantly HARMED? "Hey, Snoop! There's no more bud-light in your kitchen-sized refrigerator!" "Sue the hell out of them!" But, seriously, the people who make the song probably make a crap-load more in publicity and royalties from merchandise etc. The only people it "significantly harms" is the RCIAA.

The main point I was bringing up was basically this. Hell sucks because happiness is not present in the slightest form. Why is it not present? Because God is not present in Hell. Since God = the root of all happiness, no God = no happiness. When you are in Hell it is pure sadness. Hell is also inescapable. Once you choose Hell there is no turning back. God cannot hear you in Hell. You are separated from Him completely. Can you tap dance in hell? Maybe. Will you have fun doing it? No. Can you go to the movies in Hell? Possibly. Will you ever enjoy the movie? No. Can you tell jokes in Hell? Perhaps. Will you ever be able to laugh at jokes? No You get the idea. No happiness. Maybe even torture by Satan. Is Satan happy? I should say not. Whether you are tortured by being whipped, tossed in lava, or what have you, you would be just as sad as if you were watching a movie in hell. The only difference would probably be the involvement of pain. And like I said, God does not willingly send you there. You MAKE him send you there. Because it's either Heaven or Hell. It's your choice, so you choose. Anyways, that's what my faith teaches. I think I've had enough discussion for today. Later.

I didn't see the sticky for this. /idiot #-o Anywho, I'm looking for a card duelling game online. I would like it to be free-to-play. So far I have only found 2 in TOTAL. Yu-Gi-Oh Online - Pay to play. Alteil Online - I believe it's Free-to-play. Any points in the right direction would be most helpful.

Given the belief that God is where all happiness, love, good stuff, compassion, etc. comes from, His absence would also mean the absence of that as well. That is what I was implying in my previous post, but, I guess I was a little vague on that part. Unless you enjoy endless pure sadness, except I don't really get how you would enjoy it if the word "enjoy" would be non-existent in Hell. And I do mean pure sadness as in no happiness... at all... whatsoever. I wasn't just saying being without God would suck because he's super cool or something. But that it would suck because it actually would suck. EDIT- Oh, right. I guess I should mention that my faith believes God is everywhere and in everything (except Hell). Even if you don't accept him He still is there (except Hell...).

I've looked around a bit and can't find any that are free. There was Yu-Gi-Oh.. hehehe. But, that was a p2p game anyways. I think there was one named Alteil or something, but, it looked meheh. Are there any out there, or is this genre practically non-existant on the internet. I'd be fine with regular cards, but, what's the point if there's nobody to play with? :|

Ew, dieing dreams suck. It's like I actually "feel" the wound. I feel the knife or the bullet inside me. Which brings me to a question. Can you hurt yourself (in real life) if you get hurt in your dream? I mean it was actual pain. Scary.

Moribito (Guardian of the Spirit) looks good, but I'm always in "game mode" when it comes on. And please don't speak of saved by the bell or peewee. I must have managed to bury both of those until just now. That was when [adult swim] was going through it's "we'll be blunt about this. [bleep] you, viewers" phase. Yes, they did it on purpose. I swear to hell and back it was on purpose.

I haven't been to /b/ or 4chan. I don't know what the blazes "/b/" is now. I heard it before, but it was always used in a sentence with 4chan. So I thought /b/ = 4chan. I knew about 4chan (never actually been to the site ever) through the countless internet meme pictures I hear come from it. Reading through these posts made me die a little bit inside.

Don't hate on Miniclip. :cry: If it wasn't for that, none of my classmates would've found out about RuneScape, which means I wouldn't have either! (Even though they quit like a few days later and now all play WoW -.-) Then I would've never gotten hooked on MMORPG's! Don't you see? It's like a gateway drug! :D

My whole family went to see it. Pretty funny movie. My mom got all "Oh my God I can't believe they did that with a baby" stuff and kind of killed the mood a little bit. Also, the previews for the movies Orphan (whoa...) and Final Destination killed off some of the haha for the opening.

It would be harder than just standing there answering it. Although, I have had conversations on roller coasters before. It's not that bad unless you're like umm.. well, it's actually on right now (for the 3rd time in 3 days). The kid that REALLY freaks out on the ride. He's the only one I've seen. Otherwise the others were more preoccupied with the questions than the coaster. Not really related, but... If you're going to start a new show you should probably either have a couple episodes already made or don't air the show EVERY DAY.

Jeans. The way they feel on my legs is... :-X Ugh. Terrible!

To some people marriage is MORE than just a piece of paper. Sorry if I wasn't being clear enough. I was meaning it's not a religious ceremony, but a legal one. Yes, it is a legal ceremony. Just as in some religions it is also religious ceremony. And I'd find it hard to believe that there aren't religious homosexuals. The whole "god hates homosexuals" thing probably turns them off... I think that might be an over-exaggeration caused by conflict between over zealous parishioners and gay rights activists. The whole "man and women only! you're going to hell obviously!" and "you're a church so your God hates us obviously!" thing. I just think both sides got a little too aggressive. But, I think I'm getting off-topic so.... yeah. :-w Or are these discussions allowed in this thread? The OP wasn't really clear on that... You haven't been on TIF very long have you. We can start a discussion about cuss words and end up at video games. The mods have just gotten used to it I think. I've lurked for a few years, actually. Been content with just watching. I try to refrain from "off-topicness" in threads I feel involve serious... thingies. :-s EDIT - Damnit lol. :wall:

Hi, Billy Mays here for Rest In Peace. Those OxiClean and Mighty Putty commercials always got my attention with his enthusiastic pitching. It's even more wow when you realize he was on The Tonight Show only like a week ago.
