Mordac the issue at hand is not whether I have broken the seventh commandment or not. The Bible says in Romans 3: 23-25
"...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement,through faith in his blood."
Therefore whether you have broken one commandment or all.. Jesus Christ gives us the salvation necessary to escape the judgement we so rightly deserve. As my favourite gospel says
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son."
John 3:16-18
What he means, kids, is that he can do whatever he likes without fear of eternal retribution as long as he acknowledges the Son of God as his saviour.
Rather than get TB or GWB to do it surely he could do it himself, so I ask you CHico who would Jesus like to blow up?
The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
The fact that you refused to answer my question (and not for the first time) for one. As I said, I'm just going to carry on as normal, and if the need arises (by which I mean the second coming of Jesus actually happens, and I'm not holding my breath here) then I'll repent all my sins (well, the ones which I can remember anyway) and hope for the best. Surely a forgiving God won't mind...
His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

Doesn't it all depend on which bit of the bible you read - Old Testament and I think you are due for a stoning. New Testement you can pretty much be let off anything if you say sorry.
What actually happens is that you die and your body rots. Whether or not you have a soul and whether or not it actually goes off to some intangible place to meet one or more intangible gods is a question that in patently unanswerable.

Although current neuroscientific research is slowly uncovering the physical basis of our "minds", suggesting that it really is curtains at death time.
Human beings have the capacity to belief anything.
The reason religions, organised or not, focus so readily on the 'afterlife' is that it can't possibly be disproven by anyone alive ! It's not that they deliberately do this to further their aims (although I'm sure some do) it's that every human being wonders about it from time to time and wants there to be something better in their future than they have here on Earth. It's a natural response to the certainty of death.
As far as I am aware, there is not one world religion who teach that when you're dead that's it.
