Religion or Death?

I’ll take religion with lots and lots of sinning followed by really good make up sex.
 
I don't know...I think it's easy to say you'd die rather than choose, but it might not be so easy if the actual choice were presented to you, really and truly, right here and now. I'm pretty sure I'd choose a religion to pretend to prescribe to and see how much I could get away with not following it.

Well, running away was basically my answer. Unless the entire planet went crazy, I am sure there would be very nice places to live without the threat of someone killing you for no good reason.

There are good reasons to kill people? :confused:

I've gotten weak with my Catholic studies, frankly, and even back then, it was awkward to discuss the fine points of sin with clergy or family.

But I think it came down to tongue. If umarried Catholic tongues touched, both parties were essentially doomed to eternal suffering.

In their defense, eating meat on friday was just as bad...even if it was an accident, like it was for me, when I spent the night at my Jewish friend's house, and had dinner with his family...

Once you've commited a mortal sin, like me, the heat's off. I don't think hell gets worse if you sin more.

sweet deal, in a way.
 
This thread reminds me of a conversation I had with my father after Mass one Sunday as a teenager. The sermon had been on the early Christian martyrs, and their willingness to be killed for the sake of their religious convictions.

FATHER: So son, if you were a Christian in the first century, would you have renounced Christianity or been fed to the lions?

YOUNG ANDRONICUS: By Jove, I’d make the choice that would let me take care of my aging father.

FATHER: Okay, here is your allowance.
