Entry: Hitchens Unhinged Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/hitchens_unhinged_part_i#7446 Post contents: Louis, I don't believe that it is as simple as all that. I am far from the most adept biblical scholar here, but I believe the heaven argument on both sides of this thing is better left to God to deal with. I am not sure what the position of the church is on guaranteeing heaven but I think it involves more than believing in God. My understanding is that belief in him must always include actioions that show that this belief is truly felt. For this most Catholics will do some time in what is known as purgatory before getting to heaven. I also understand that there are some fundamentalists who are trying to bring about heaven on earth through some sort of armageddon, and they are making good progress toward that end. My favorite quote regarding atheism. A tour guide in Northern Ireland when asked in regard to the violence 'don't you have any atheists?' replied, 'yes we do, both Protestant and Catholic.'
