[In response to a woman upset about her father's death and worried about his eternal destination.]
You can be the best person in the world, but if you die without Christ, you'll end up in hell. And no amount of prayer from relatives, the church, etc is going to change that. Praying that the Lord give you comfort...

Then become a mormon because, in that sect of Christianity, family members, with the help of the church, can pray and get someone out of hell. There, problem solved.
Your problem is that you think that everybody who says lord lord is free to be a good person. In that case, don´t expect Christianism to be widespread, because you´re anihilating the very notion of good deed and sin.
The bible says that if you even think of doing wrong (that is, what it considers wrong), it's the same as actually doing it. As a re-hellious kid and teen, this became my excuse if you will, for doing wrong. If I'm going to get blamed and punished for something, I'm at least going to fucking have fun doing it, not just having a ten second daydream and finding yourself in hell.
Tragic .
Well, aren't you a nasty human being.
What's even sadder is that after many similar posts (but more subtle and couched in lollipops and sunshine), this lady basically just accepts that her father may very well be burning for all eternity, but you know, it's all in god's plan so why should it bother her? The whole thread was actually pretty disturbing...
Sounds like god is an insecure little brat.
Could you imagine a heaven filled with only these assholes? Surely that would be hell, no?
In the extreme unlikely case should I encounter such a sociopathic and moronic god after my death, then I will join the ranks of Lucifer and the Fallen Angels with joy.
Because such a jealous, petty, unjust, malevolent bully must be battled and destroyed. Lucifer (who's existence is as improbable) is a shining light of goodness against such a malicious God.
Fortunately, the probability that such a god exists is very, very low.
...because you surely aren't going to extend any to a bereaved sister.
There are such things as white lies, living4JC, things you say to comfort others, things that are not lies per se.
"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven."
Even a casual reading of the gospels reveals that the will of the father that Jesus is speaking of involves giving up earthly attachments (especially wealth and prejudices) and taking care of those in need. Of course, the entire appeal of being a fundamentalist is being able to ignore all of that. Fundamentalism is grounded in the lazy, Pauline myth of "pledge allegiance to Jesus, then you can forget about him."
If you are truly living4JC, read the gospels and find out what it is he expects from you. Don't turn to Rapture Ready for help. They don't have a clue about the bible.
I mean, they actually believe in The Rapture.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
