Re: There is a lot of baggage in the word God

serenity,
Do you know where I can purchase or download the documentary you were speaking of?
Does it give NDE's of those from Tibet? It's hard for me, when I take myself out of religion and the religious upbringing I have had, to understand why God would choose eternal hellfire as a punishment for those on earth that sin. A lot of people say that we can not understand it on earth because we fell in the garden of eden. So we only know how incredibly sinful something is when we go to the judgement and stand before God's perfect holiness. I guess that could be true. I still really have a hard time with eternal punishment for anyone.
