So now we're getting to heaven through personality? I thought the deeds matter.

isn't one a function of the other?

no, it's not. many people feared god, and thus didn't do this. Not because they felt it was wrong in any other sense.

"don't do X or god will punish you"

we'll have to agree to disagree then, IMO religion is based on the equation 'abide by the rules as stated in X and Y will happen to you'

here is the actual quote
sends shivers down my arms:Quote 35: "In fact', said Mustapha Mond, 'you're claiming the right to be unhappy.'
'All right then,' said the Savage defiantly, 'I'm claiming the right to be unhappy.'

'Not to mention the right to grow old and ugly and impotent; the right to have syphilis and cancer; the right to have too little to eat; the right to be lousy; the right to live in constant apprehension of what may happen to-morrow; the right to catch typhoid; the right to be tortured by unspeakable pains of every kind.' There was a long silence.
'I claim them all,' said the Savage at last.
Mustapha Mond shrugged his shoulders. 'You're welcome,' he said." Chapter 17, pg. 240

I know there's no proof of reincarnation - I happen to believe it because it makes sense to me. Personality affects deeds.

It could be worse. You could have melted a pot on your stove last night.

Describe it, brave geo-surfer. What was the metling point of the alloy? Was there a solid-soldi pahse transformation prior to melting? austeetic to martensitic?

What did I try to do to calm my fears? Religion mostly, though I now am pretty sceptal of it-no I dont think its something "sinister and EEEEVIL" as I see countless pre-teen philosophers post as they make idiots of themsleves:

"Um yah, I dont like going to church, so God sucks and religion must be corrupt!!"

You know the type, they post here constantly, am I the only one who thinks they look like fools-but never says anything?

No. Newbie. I am the one who puts down the militant 16-year old atheists.

ANYWAY I dont think religion is evil-I think if its peacefull it does some good(set peoples minds at ease, set mine at ease till I realised it proboably isnt true), I just think without more proof theres no reason to follow it.

Knowutya mean.

Ya know, I don't think that I have seen anyway put down religion in such an abrupt way as saying that God sucks. Had I seen such statements, at least without someone like GP bashing them afterward, I probably would of left this board a long time ago. Yet, generally those who say things in that way are just confused and stupid, and should be left alone to deal in their own musings.

ALL HAIL GP: HE HAS A FREAKING HUGE PENIS!!JUST LOOK AT HOW MANY POSTS HE HAS


Happy?

I fear death, but I try not to think about my mortality very much, so it doesn't really bother me. I used to think about it pretty frequently and fervently hoped (it was never what you can call a belief, I was never sure about it to any degree) for the existence of an afterlife (and therefore a deity), but learned how to deal with it 9 or 10 years ago.

Maybe we could get Provost to send Vesayen some of his tablets.
