2. I always counter that statement with
"That IS where all the cool and fun people go."

Sorry you have to deal with that from your family.

33. Whoa there...if all the cool folks are in hell
...what makes you think Hitler is cool enough to be there too? I am quite sure that the "cool police" monitoring the doors of hell would have sent him off to someplace where the not so cool folks wind up. He is likely hangin out with Pat Robertson and Saddam Hussein...wherever in hell that is.

Tell ya what, if I get to hell before you, I'll vouch for ya but you got to promise to do the same for me. Judging by all the other loungers vieing for a spot there, it may get a bit crowded. (Do you suppose there will be any cats or dogs or espresso stands in hell? God I certainly hope so!)

34. That's why I said 'interesting' rather than cool.
Sometimes you gotta take the good with the bad.

But if the rules are as strict as they are written in the bible, only the really boring people are gonna get into heaven. So everybody else goes down below.

35. Hmmm you make a good point
Maybe we will all wind up there, us sacrilegious loungers with the likes of the bushes and the hitlers! Maybe we loungers WILL wind up there and our jobs will be to Rochambeau the really no-good-niks. If so I am packin" a pair of pointy shoes to take with me!!!1!

5. If you keep him bound and gagged in the basement, he can't act so insolent
You're being entirely too lenient. In ways, this is like making your life a living hell. So I'm seeing a win-win here.

Apparently, I'm already the mean one.

My brother can be cool on occasion, though.

7. you can sit next to me on the train there
I'll pack some really good snacks. It'll be fun.

Seriously though, I'm sorry your family is being so hard on you. You always have us to come to for sanity. Which is really ironic when you think about it. :hug:

12. Ah. That's true. Tell him that God must be larger than any opinion about God that he can have.
And that God will likely decide, not him. Something else in the Bible about Judge Not, Lest Ye Be Judged, I think.

That one is really difficulty for me...

11. Next time, tell him:
"Well, as long as I'm going to hell anyway, I might as well kill you in your sleep." Don't smile, or it'll ruin it.

Just nothing inbetween. Either deadpan or psychotic grin.

16. I flew a trip a couple of years ago with what I would call
a "Catholic extremist" copilot. He spent days listing all the reasons I'm going to hell - divorce, remarriage, vasectomy, etc., etc.

He went to great pains to point out that while he hated to be the bearer of bad news, my eternal damnation was an irreversible certainty. There is nothing I can do to change the unfortunate situation.

I told him in that case, I was going to break out the cocaine and the hookers. He said I shouldn't test God's anger. My reply was, "what would he do - send me to hell?"

That did pretty much end the conversation.

I skipped the cocaine and the hookers anyway.

but those were what came to mind during the discussion...I think I was looking for a little "shock" value.

18. There are two things in life to worry about...
either you are well or you are sick.
If you are well, there's nothing to worry about;
if you are sick, there's two things to worry about-
either you will live or you will die.

If you live, there's nothing to worry about;
if you die there are two things to worry about-
you will either go to heaven or to hell.

If you go to heaven, there's nothing to worry about.
If you go to hell, you'll be so damn busy shaking hands
with friends you won't have time to worry.


I heard this about 30 years ago and it's the first thing I think of when someone says that. :rofl:

21. If you're 12 years old, you are definitely going to hell.
I shudder to think about it, because one of my boys is 13, the other 9, but the world that is coming will not be pretty.

26. Bill Hicks had something to say about going to hell vs going to heaven
Edited on Thu Feb-21-08 07:47 PM by DS1
I tried finding it on youtube, but you get the idea, if you know Bill Hicks.


Which you should.

37. Don't underestimate the anxiety he might be feeling if he really thinks his sister is
damned.

Regardless, you are the older sibling; it is your job to take what he says with a grain of salt. After all, he IS only 12. But he will get older, and it's pretty cool to have a close relationship with your siblings throughout life, so withhold judgment for a while. Hopefully, you both will laugh about conversations like this in the future. :hi:

:hug: Seriously, though, that's pretty crappy - and I know 12 isn't an easy age, but that still sucks. :( You have my sympathy. :pals:
