I married into a religious family. I have a Jewish mother and a recovering Catholic father. One time in my in-laws church, the minister, during his sermon, announced that those who do not believe in Christ and God will burn in hell forever. Hello???? Who is HE to tell me I'll burn in hell?
I prefer to think of myself as spiritual. There is no God up in Heaven making judgement lists. There is no Hell waiting on sinful souls. We make our own heaven and hell as we choose to live our lives. Being good or kind should be because it's the proper thing to do, not to reserve a spot in a nonexistent location.
We are life forms and we live life cycles, just like roses, oak trees and rats. How we live and treat others will determine which we most resemble at death..I'm shooting for a rose...
