No!!!! only the minstrels Kit

Seriously, 'heaven' to me is a state of mind, not a state of being

This all reminds me of what a young girl at work once said when asked if she believed in God, she said "No, but I'm going to say yes, in case he is listening" :rotfl: :rotfl: I think most of us would like to believe in a god, not necessarily the God you and I think of Kit, but the great spirit looking over us and after us, but can't without seeing evidence - mankind these days, especially with advance technology and science, need more than just stories, they need proven fact, which as far as religion is concerned, is never provided. Religion and faith require a vast amount of trust

Reminder of something for me:

"...I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much. ~Mother Teresa..."

I think we all have a conscience but some people can put it so far back in their mind, that they can ignore it

It would suit you Puds

Yes, Beanie is a Buddhist - Buddhaism is a very gentle religion

People like that feed off peoples greed and fear - they were more feared, than respected
