A good rule of thumb I like to live by is:
"Help others whenever possible." Whether that's help fixing a Ford, mentoring a youth, volunteering for some organization... Possibilities are limitless. Focus on your strengths and what you enjoy.
After a lifetime of that philosophy, you can leave this earth with pride.

If so then you are guilty of breaking God's standards. You would be the same as Hitler or Jeffrey Dahmer, etc.
And your good deeds are excellent on human terms, but they don't pay for your sins. That would be a BRIBE if it did. You can't bribe God.
Your only option is to humbly admit your sin and ask God for His forgiveness through the sacrifice of His son.
It is the only option.
If you saw two people about to get killed by traffic, and one was your family member, and you heroically jumped in, and your family member died but the other person lives- how would you feel if that person ignored your sacrifice?
Actively seek God and he will save you and fulfill your life. I've personally experienced it. Yes, I am one of those "born agains". It is very real. I am a mountain of evidence. I used to be just like everyone else. But God made me a new man.

I just plain old cringe when I hear people joking about going to hell. This is not the pracitce round and we really only need to do one thing, believe and have faith.
I can't wait to get to heaven to see all my friends and hope to meet most you fine ford fellas too.

I think it's kinda sad that what was meant to be a funny thread and a joke on our current political climate has to become so serious. I know tons of devoutly religious folks who tell jokes in good taste.

Your extreme negative viewpoint is odd.
How do you feel about Islam? Hindu?

This thread was simply a posting of a joke. The forum rules state, "No Political, Sexual or Religious topics". As long as it stayed in a humorous vein without the proselytizing, it was fine. Now it's about to be removed. Please keep your religious beliefs and convictions to yourself, this is not the place for it.

How's this....... (along with a little creative editing of the quoted message):
"I believe I'll have another glass of ice water."
