Craziness abound in religion
Religion is crazy. It is crazy not because of what it is or what it’s purpose is, but because of what crazy things people say or do in the name of their chosen religion. Here’s a quote from the first page of Marilyn Hickey’s book title “Break the Generation Curse.”
One day I counseled with a young woman who was going to divorce her husband. I asked, “Was your mother divorced?”
She said, “Yes.”
I asked, “How many times?”
She answered, “Three.”
“How many children did she have?”
“Four.”
“How many times have you been married?”
She answered, “Three.”
“Do you love your little girls?”
“Oh yes, I love my little girls!”
I said, “Do you know that they’re going to grow up, and they’re going to marry and divorce three times, and they’re going to break your heart because your mother is under a generation sexual curse. She’s been into all kinds of junk. You’re in the same thing; you’re making the same decisions. And you watch–your little girls will too.”
Holy fucking shit. I didn’t go but a few more paragraphs, which I’d quote, but it’s too long and much too stupid. She even uses an example of a christian and an atheist, both male. The christian leads a wonderful life and spawns a family tree of wonderfully successful Americans that help the country. The atheist spawns demon children that create a family tree of failures and blights on America. Way to go cherry picking for the best and worst subjects to prove a retarded point.
The entire point of this book is to sacrifice ones life, even if the marriage sucks or is abusive, to break the “curse” and allow your children to have a better life. Yes, sacrifice to make it better for them, but one should not have to suffer a shitty marriage with a shitty person.
One’s religious belief has little bearing on how shitty a person they become. Good people come from all walks of life and people like Ms. Hickey need to realize this and stop associating non-christians with fire-breathing, evil-doer, satan-possessed demons.

That made me lol in my pants. Very reminiscent of the rapture ready crowd.
Really, I think the important question one must ask themselves when deciding whether they would like to go to Heaven or Hell is this;
Would you rather spend an eternity in a lake of fire – tormented relentlessly for a period of time lasting beyond the grasp of human comprehension?
Or
Would you rather spend an eternity living next door to and sharing in worship with people like Ms. Hickey.
Conclusion: I personally fail to see the difference.
Cancel that – in Heaven there would be nothing physically affecting you so it could be better…wait, scratch that – … Having to spend the rest of eternity with these people would most likely redefine eternity into a 2 week time period.
I say this because within 2 weeks I would resort to sticking a pencil into my eyeball and using a hammer to drive it farther into my brain until I died again. Since suicide is a sin – I could definitely land in Limbo or something.
Which would at least be much better than either Heaven or Hell.
Problem Solved.
