I've got the opposite problem, my conservative relatives sit around and discuss conservative politics saying all the things conservatives say about liberals (communist, out to destroy America, lazy good-for-nothings looking for a handout) when I am right there in the room. They totally lack tact, tease me for my politics and attack my retorts to their comments as if I have blasphemed against God and dishonored the family. I do not go home all that often.
Families are actually combinations of families. Each bringing their experiences and beliefs to the table. Some came from dirt poverty of the Depression and cling to the Democrats as salvation through FDR. Others benefited from the conservative 1950s achieving middle class status and see free markets and limited government as the best. I think that is why each side makes sense to someone. No one seems to accept the middle as a good place to be, so they press for more of whatever they champion. Being the minority in a family is often tough.
You got one part right, Heaven is indeed from the imaginations of men, and so is Hell as well as all the rest, talking bushes and donkeys included.Actually, the belief that there is no afterlife is quite common among the lower intelligent species of our planet. After all, any forest creature will never look to an after life. They lack that higher brain function to imagine. The same with most of the primates. Though many of them can and do mimic humans, and some are quite bright, they lack that higher form of cognitive ability to imagine a source of creations.Dead is dead little friend. Don't have sympathy for them, they couldn't give a damn. And there is no afterlife that anyone knows of. That is the fantasy of children and childish adults believing that death. meaning oblivion, can be overcome. Nothing could be further from the truth.No really. Although my most immediate 8 family members are liberal (stemming from my grandmother), the other 46 family members at Christmas Eve are all conservatives.
This morning I overheard two of my liberal family members.
"They don't even make 100k a year, and they think they are well off, haha. That's why the vote Republican, because they think they're well off."
When I hang out with my other relatives (conservatives) they (at most) will say this about the liberal pocket in family (AT MOST): "I wish they could see past the smoke and mirrors."
Really that's the worst thing my conservative relatives ever said.
Liberals always seem to need a boogey man, even if their own relatives.
I hactually had to intevene this Christmas morning and say:
"Listen I'm not well off, and I'm conservative. We don't vote for rewards and handouts, we vote for principle."
My extended family (husbands side) were mostly liberal. They never seemed to miss a chance to say something in front of me about Jesus in an attempt to offend me - which all stemmed from their being liberal Marxists - very educated people mind you - I pretended to not hear them and treated them with respect. All of them have died of cancer in the past several years and only two are left. They died young too. I couldn't get over how quickly they were gone. One still contacts us occasionally and the other person doesn't contact us at all. If you think about how miserable they are it will cause you to feel more empathy for them. After all, what have they got to look forward to after this life is over? Hell? You know it is so true - the Word says, What will it profit a man to gain the whole world only to lose his own soul. Life is so fleeting. They just do not understand how much so until it is too late.
It seems some humans have also failed to fully evolve and exhibit those same traits.
It doesn't matter what anyone believes, it will eventually come down to faith.Atheists, like Theists, are morons.Atheists do all those things as well.Oh but you do, almost without exception. Those who truly know know Christianity could never believe in it, at least not the way that you do. It would be impossible. You have faith because you were raised within the faith. That is true almost without exception, and for all other faiths as well. Once you accept the simple answers to the questions that have none, you go off to fight wars, plow the fields, and make babies, just exactly what the powers that be need you to do...You don't become a believer in Christ with just blind unthinking faith alone.
It seems you have real problems with the Jews, since they wrote the entire story. Old and New. All Jews, all the time.You got one part right, Heaven is indeed from the imaginations of men, and so is Hell as well as all the rest, talking bushes and donkeys included.Actually, the belief that there is no afterlife is quite common among the lower intelligent species of our planet.

As for knowing what other creatures think, we have very little idea and no idea on life after death. We do know that elephants and other species grieve for the dead. That would be an obvious place to start looking.
Actually it eventually comes down to death, which resolves all questions on a personal level.

And plenty of Christians messed around with the NT, including adding names to the Gospels when they had none, not to mention picking what books made it into the Bible in the first place.

The Gospels were named long after the Gentiles started to become Christians. Without Paul that never would have happened. Those editors weren't Jews, not even close.All Jews, all the time.

It is also suspicious that the original texts have never surfaced. I think they must still exist but are so buried in some Vatican vault that the world will never see them.The Gospels were named long after the Gentiles started to become Christians.

The greatest creative works and art require the imagination to conceive. No lower life form could conceive of, nor create great works of music and art such as Bach and Da Vince. It is this very ability which leads us to also speculate about a creator of existence. It is this work of imagination and speculation that has led to the very foundation of morality.You got one part right, Heaven is indeed from the imaginations of men, and so is Hell as well as all the rest, talking bushes and donkeys included.Actually, the belief that there is no afterlife is quite common among the lower intelligent species of our planet.
