...if God is supposed to be all nurturing and all forgiving i don't understand how you'd be going straight to hell for screwing up forgetting one little detail...humans have exagerated the teachings of all religions for once purpose, so THEY have control over the religion, not the deities...

...no matter what religion, there is always some middle medium which you have to go through, supposedly, if you are to attain a place in heaven/nirvana/true enlightenment e.t.c...christianity has priests...the pagans also believe in priests and priestesses, buddhism has monks...human kind has managed to mangle religion so badly that it's now fully created by man, not by god, or by miracles...

what you believe is what you believe...it's up to you, it's your choice...no other human being can tell you, "thats wrong"...there are too many religions and beliefs in the world for only one to be the true and correct answer...i just don't believe we've found the right one yet...
