Yes WillowTheWisp, but told by whom? Another human being claiming that his tale is coming from a God?

It seems to me that religion was invented to control the masses.

It is a bit of a myth that Lemmings commit suicide SPUGGIE J. Quote off the Internet.

So-called "Suicidal March to the Sea" about every 3-4 years. Populations "cycle," increasing greatly approximately every 3-4 years. When this happens, lemmings may migrate in large numbers from densely populated areas in the mountains down to birch forests, searching for food. Encountering natural obstacles, including bodies of water, causes panic and a "flight response." This behavior sometimes takes them into the sea, and large numbers may die. So, they may die in this individual quest for food, but they aren't committing suicide for the sake of the rest of the population.

But I’m with you on your attitude to life.

the Christian faith tells its followers that getting to heaven has nothing to do with if you have blotted your copybook or not, or to what degree.

The Catholic Church tells us that if a person dies in mortal sin they WILL NOT GO TO HEAVEN JohnW but go straight to Hell for all eternity. If a person dies with some sin tainting their soul they will spend time in Purgatory whilst their sins are expunged and then pass on to heaven. Only a person without sin or children before they are confirmed go straight to Heaven.

Pure Bunkum! Such tales are designed to try and keep people obeying the religion’s rules.
