I want to go. I want to go to heaven. Please take me now from this God forsaken land.
As far as I can tell the recipie is simple. Take Jesus into your heart and just die.

On a side note. Religion has given some ground rules that do help society.
This claim is made often but seldom demonstrated. Taken as a whole supernatural religions have done at least as much harm as good.

Quote:
But when used to kill others it has gone too far, and even as much as just controlling people and brainwashing them, it has gone too far.
Like I said.

Quote:
I find that society will always strive to work better with others especially in times of distress. I mean hasn't 9/11 proven that and the great flood of last New Years proven that no matter what you believe people tend to want to live peacefully to survive and help each other out?
Well yes. Society will strive to work together. But it is not as if supernatural religions have done this. History shows the opposite.

Did God Help? Did he come down from the sky shedding "mana" on the land to help. No. Society helped.
The other thing that magical thinkers appear to overlook is if god takes sides then who's side was god on during 9/11?
