Allen Shughart replied to Misty: Baytheist Living!'s discussion 'Hell'"I always kinda thought God was emo. He's always bitching about how nobody pays attention to him"
Allen Shughart replied to Misty: Baytheist Living!'s discussion 'Hell'"alot of the problem is translation as well. People forget the first to translate both New Testament and Old Testament scriptures for popular reading were the Greeks. So it was natural to take "Sheoul" and relate it to "Hades,"…"

Allen Shughart replied to dragotron's discussion 'Do you believe in the soul?'"<p>This is one of the big problems I've always had with the concept of a literal soul.

I can however tell you I am by no means a religious man, and for a variety of reasons honestly. To me, religion of any kind has more to do with the self…See More
Allen Shughart replied to allie grace's discussion 'Do you think atheism is a religion in itself?'"I'm of the church of "I don't know" I suppose. Can indecision or confusion be a religion?"
