You are ALL wrong!!! Only those who recognize and give all praise and glory to the FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER (bless his noodly appendage!) will go to heaven.

All those who don't agree and can't see the truth of this are guilty of spaghetti logic.

"RAmen".

Odd that you should ask this of an atheist?

This merely goes back to the discussion that theists generally do not know their own scriptures very well. I have not opened a bible in over 8 years and still I know what is written in it.

The only time I have to look up a verse is to answer a theist. Something you could have done by simply googling the phrase you bolded.

Why do you think your beliefs should warrant automatic respect?

Then it isn't paradise, but a sham.

That was Given...but some how it has changed...and we now have to pay to play?.....

SO to make the restoration...in reversal of the curse of death...to put back something taken by being disobediant....we need to become sinless....and I now see why God made the commandments....to help us become sinless enough to right that wrong, and reverse the curse......makes logical sense if we believe in the Biblical accountings and words there in.....if God made us to tend and keep the Garden...shouldn't we do so in a way that is pleasing, fare, unselfish of the others, and in clean and prestine manners and actions?.....makes for a healthier, and more free or less costing system.....But because of sin with the IDOL....no one seems to be able to do the final act sinlessly...

To do the will and fulfill the word of God....now only seems to be something a child could do...that has not been indoctirnated into the system of IDOLs....and Some evil kinda spirit is now defiling them....wonder why?....perhaps to stop that simple act for God to come about perhaps?......and we now see the darkness of the force of evil....playing out in the news....wonder why?...let us not forget to do that will, and fulfill the word and reason for our making....if you believe that is.....and if you don't believe...have a polluted tax filled and high priced bloodsoaked, wartorn and fingerpointing and criminal painting day!

Do you want respect? Respect is a two-way street: to get it you must give it.

lol That is your answer?!! That is not "The Great Commission"!! Who ever told you that it was? Please open up another Bible or do another Google search:

From the New King James Version at Biblegateway.com:

Matthew 28 NKJV - He Is Risen - Now after the Sabbath, as - Bible Gateway:

Quote:

Matthew 28:16-20

The Great Commission

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.

18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore[c] and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.[d]
Mark 16 NKJV - He Is Risen - Now when the Sabbath was - Bible Gateway:

Quote:
Mark 16:14-18

The Great Commission

14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they[b] will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2024&version=NKJV::

Quote:
Luke 24:46-49

46 Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise[h] from the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 And you are witnesses of these things. 49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem[i] until you are endued with power from on high.”
Hmm...nothing about houses. That's ok. You're an atheist, I'll respectfully give you a pass.

Anyone who can't see the gospel truth in what His Royal Holiness (praise his blessed appendage) proclaims has lost his or her noodles!


All praise and glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Sauce!

May you be abundantly blessed daily with marinara and a generous sprinkling of parmesan.

"RAAAAmen!"
