Hey ya'll,
I know I haven't posted in a long while, but with the holidays and all, work has been hell (no pun intended) and I've been too busy/tired/lame to even visit sciforums. ANYWHO...
I work with a Jehovah's Witness, and just today he inspired me to post. I mentioned, jokingly, about how I was going to go straight to hell for my behavior or something, and he said "If I believed in Hell, I'd agree with ya."
Now, that caught me, because Witnesses are strict to the Bible. When I asked him about it, he told me "There isn't a soul, you don't go anywhere when you die. You just die. We believe in a physical reincarnation on the day of Judgement."
I kind of thought that was crazy, but when I actually thought about it, doesn't it kind of make sense? (Not that I believe in God, this is just for the sake of argument) Isn't the point of Judgement Day to take all the souls of the dead and living and take the deserving to Heaven? I mean, aren't all the souls waiting to be judged right now? Is anybody (aside from those who are said to have gone to Heaven in the Bible) in Heaven?
