How else are you going to keep billions of non-Christians and the millions of mentally disabled and clueless young children from ruining Heaven?

Well, I certainly wouldn't condemn the guy to an eternity of suffering for simply disrespecting me.

So, you're saying that someone who doesn't accept Jesus as the son of God is akin to someone who spends everyday trying to destroy humanity?

LOL...that must be one of the overlooked parts of the Bible. "Accept Jesus as your personal Lord & Savior. And love Texas."

Re: Will you be ready when Jesus returns?

Its in the Spanish version. That's why one of the world's greatest Christian population all keep trying to sneak over into our state and be good Texan Christians rather than good Mexican Christians.

Re: Will you be ready when Jesus returns?

I don't believe that there will be any Jesus-Returning.

However, if he did, I think he would be ok with what I'm doing with myself.

What does that have to do with the topic?
