If Christianity did not allow for one to repent for their sins, would anyone be a Christian? I highly doubt it. The only reason so many people believe in such a construct is because they have been told that it will secure them eternal happiness. But what if you could not repent through confession or any other means? We all know that people have a tendency to sin in the eyes of god, but what if you could not be forgiven? A lot of you seem to be missing the point. Christianity is a cult. How does one acquire followers for a cult? Offer incentives. Do you know how convenient it is that every Christian is guaranteed a pass to Heaven? It is simply a tactic to grab weak minded followers who will then spread the word of their savior. The Church works like this: > Promise eternal bliss > Make sure there is no effort involved >??? > Acquire Profit There is also negative incentive as well. They convince you hell is real and tell you that if you do not believe you are damned. If you are convinced hell is real, you HAVE to join them, right? Both fantasy locations are a mere play on humanities fears of the unknown. Sound off below. Be honest to yourself. A lot of you guys are lying to yourself.

  • This is a very interesting thread, and leads to some very profound questions. Remember, at one point, most of Europe was being conned into paying their way into heaven, because there was "no other way" to be forgiven for sinning, in the minds of the more authoritative figures of the Christian church. Personally, I've always been questioning if there really is a "correct" philosophy on what happens after life. And to be honest, I'm no closer to an answer than I was 11 years ago. In my opinion, there are more pressing matters, such as apathy on modern society, and Poverty. What happens to me after life is ultimately inconsequential.
