IF good works (living a good life) can gain entrance into heaven, how can you know when you have reached "good enough"?How many good things would you need to do in order to wipe out the bad?How good is good enough?

good

good enough

heaven

chammacch Are you saying that good deeds have replaced indulgences from the Middle Ages? Can I buy my way to heaven? I thought that good behavior was the result of knowing God. Heaven is the reward for believing in God. Perhaps I'm wrong, I haven't been Christian for 25...

chammacch Perhaps the better question would have been "Why do you believe in Jesus, but not Mithra?"

What Classifies Someone As A Philosopher? You were asked who you consider to be the greatest philosopher of all time. Someone answered “Jesus”. For the sake of argument, let 's assume that Jesus was man not myth. Is it accurate...

chammacch I find it interesting that you exempt Jesus from being a myth. If Jesus were a myth, derived from the ancient mysteries, the myth would then at least have ties to the Greek philosophers like Plato and Socrates, all inducted into the mysteries. I think the...

You know, I was workin' and workin'. I thought I was doin' so good, and when I had clicked enough to have $139, I found out I would probably be paid $3. Why in the world, would someone sit for as many hours as I did and to only...

chammacch It's a very interesting question, actually. The historical evidence that he was a myth is amazing, despite what the church would have one believe. Google "Jesus origins", "Jesus myth", "Jesus exist". Here's a page that excerpts from an important book in...

chammacch I do everything I can to teach my children there are no monsters, magic is a trick, and there are no gods. Her internal moral code is amazing. She wants to be an animal rescuer to help save endangered animals. She wants to plant trees to help the earth. She...

chammacch Yes, I live life without god. It would seem to a person who's whole philosophy of life has been built up around the concept of god, that life would crumble. But, it doesn't. If you are interested in what it is like to be an atheist, I will repectfully...

chammacch I guess it depends on which history is believed. It is possible, given one history, that the rules of humanity and mankind are the basis for the rules of god. If you believe that a god plunked us down out of nothing, this makes sense. However, then one would...

chammacch It would seem that way, when one has been entirely dependent on something, to imagine life without it would be impossible. But, life without god, for me, is amazingly rich and satisfying, much more so than when I was a believer. For example, I am no longer a...

chammacch But Christianity doesn't reward good behavior. It only rewards belief in it's gods. Murders go to heave for believing, and people dedicated to feeding hungry children across the world go to hell.
