OK so Revelation scored 1 - who were they playing who scored 8?

Religion is the producer of false hope. It all depends where an individual was born and bought up. An individual is usually simply down to education and surrounding from an early age, which is sad. Everyone seems to blindly believe that their specific religion is the one, and they can't all be right, thats for sure.

False hope is better than no hope, I bet 90% of people would start praying if they were about to die

If you honestly believe that giving someone false hope is better than not, then we are COMPLETELY different. I would rather accept it gracefully and surround myself with the people I love.

I’m not trying to convert anybody, but a few years back I was about to have an operation and I was wheeled into the theatre and I asked God to look after me, and I don’t know what it was, but I had a warm glow that started from my feet upwards and I felt very calm and secure, I can’t explain why it happened in the physical term, but spiritually I can.

No everybody is entitled to have their say one way or the other, I can’t prove there is a God, but I live in hope that there is a life after death, and if there isn't I have lost nothing

Apologies if I appeared disrespectful, but no intention to bully NN.
That's why I did mention the positive side, that I still have some involvement in the thing and that I do give the thing serious consideration. But still...

I see no bullying? Just healthy debate, most people should be able to hack that, surely?

Kinda depends where you're living really doesn't it.
In Christian terms 'heaven' is being with God in eternity. And hell is being eternally separated from him/her.
