Any believers ever looked at an ant colony? Seen a few thousand ants scurrying?

[MarkCharles]

I always wondered if the believers thought that their god only made the BELIEVERS in the image of their god, not the ants.

I have stepped on an ant colony of a few hundred, maybe a thousand ants. Did THEY all go to heaven?


Does THAT mean I'm going to hell?

How about when I fumigated my house when it was invaded with fleas?

Did all those fleas go to heaven?

When Truman dropped that bomb on a million or so Japanese, even though most of them were NOT Christians, they died in like a half a minute. Did THEY go to heaven? A few hundred thousand just suffered for the rest of their lives with painful Cancers, did they go to your heaven or hell?

I'd sure like to know how believers in a heaven and a hell look at these events.

1. I, for one, welcome our Ant overlords.

3. I’d like to remind them ...

...that as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.”


I might point out here -- that some see the self-less labour of an ant colony as a MODEL for a socialist utopia.

[MarkCharles]

4. I have read that it is possible for ants to actually kill an human being

do they get a free pass for killing an invader, or do only Christians get that free pass?

I'm pretty sure ants are NOT Christians.

2. Just for that, when you die, you are going to Ant Heaven. n/t

6. Funny you should ask! Two years ago we were on a cruise, and ended up

going to Mayan ruins in Mexico. As our guide was taking us on the tour, there was a major colony of ants crossing the roadway we were using. We were asked to not step on them as they made there way. We encountered two more such crossings on our tour. Very amazing how they work in unison.

7. When ants go to hell they are burned in a lake of lighter fluid as they are toasted by a

magnifying glass along with s few plastic army men....forever and ever.

8. The way I've always understood it is

that if you're an American Christian, you're at the top of the food chain. You can kill anyone or anything you like in that case. The Southern Baptists taught me that the conservatives among them were God's chosen few, and the richest among them are the most favored by God. So if you're the wealthiest Southern Baptist American, you are the ubermensch and you are free to dispose of all God's creation as you see fit.

9. I rarely comment on analogies between ants and Hiroshima.

It's stupid.

[cordelia]

10. It's repulsive. n/t

13. Many Christians have told me that we are like ants to god.

That's stupid.

12. Couple things

1. Keep your damn pity to yourself.
2. "all truley (sic) repulsive"? Broadbrush much?
3. Atheism ISN'T a religion
4. Our country was established as a secular country so not sure what your argument is about that.
5. Where is someone preaching "tolerance"? Most atheists I know just realize that beliefs don't get special privilege just because they are beliefs. Do you have "tolerance" for RW Christian fundies and their hatred of gays?
6. What rights are being denied to believers here?

Get down off that cross, I think your Lord needs it.
