Re: Am I going to burn?

This is response to Anne's "Am I going to burn?" posting.

I guess it is safe and reasonable stance to take about God- not denying his existence, but not really acknowledging it either. But if there is really a God or gods out there, which I do believe there is one in my case, I know that acknowledging his existence is not enough for many religions, to accomplish whatever goals you have your religion. From my experience, I know that in each religion out, whether it be Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, or any other, there has it set of rules or performances that the practitioners follow. And if you don't measure up somewhat to those standards you could be considered in not as great terms with God or gods.
I think that there is always fire burning something and looking stuff to burn, in contrast to what Chidester said. You got to have something to deal with it, whether it be a fireproof coat or something else other than yourself to burn. I don't think that respect, being passive, is enough. I am not saying that this religious or that religion is the right one, but I believe that an insider of any religion would think of an outsider prone to burns anytime.
