Only through sacrifice will you reach heaven. Are you ready?
Christians seem very concerned with the fate of everyone else's souls. It seems to be their highest concern to convince others to do what they believe they must to get to heaven. As an Aztec priest, I've never believed in this myself, and never really thought of preaching to anyone. But you know, Christianity has been a successful religion, so maybe there's something to this. I don't really believe my religion is the only way, but since many people seem convinced that their beliefs (whether Christian, atheist or whatever) are the best or only way, maybe that's the only way to communicate with people about religious ideas.
I just wanted to let you all know that the only way to get to heaven is to be sacrificed, or die during a flowery war for the glory of the gods. Since no flowery wars are currently being waged to the Aztec gods, your only chance of paradise is to be sacrificed. Are you ready to undertake the selfless act of sacrifice to recieve heaven the glory of the gods?
Of course this isn't in the Bible. The Bible is just a collection of mythology from a completely different part of the world, just as the Aztec mythology I got this from is. And, by the way, there is plenty of sacrifice in the Bible.
Of course I know what happened to the Aztecs - their culture got destroyed, and their people enslaved and culturally raped in the name of your "loving" Christ.
David, I am not of middle eastern descent. If there is only one god who sent his only son and only message of truth to one tiny part of the world, what kind of sense does that make? Until the Spaniards could make their way to Mexico and convert the native populations through violence, no one there would have even a slight chance of going to heaven if your religion was the one truth. In fact, the majority of the world would have been condemned to hell through sheer inability to be exposed to the belief in Christ for over a millenia after his death. Is that the best system an all knowing purveyor of the universe can come up with?
Scapegoat and Rev Kev, I'm glad that at least two people were intelligent enough to get this.

How amusing.
More amusing is the number of people who simply did not get it.
Sadly, I'm not that surprised.
I, for one, welcome our flying serpent overlords.

I personally think in God's eyes, sacrifice doesn't exist. God created us all to be equally valuable. Everything that exists is equally neat in it's own way. Through miss understanding over the years, man has created the belief that everything isn't equal...that there are bad things and good things. In truth that isn't real. The universe that God created is infinite. You can't separate infinity...it's impossible. One part of infinity can't be better then the other. Fear comes from believing that you should separate from curtain things...this is an illusion, if you are part of the infinite universe, you can't separate your self from the infinite because you are infinite.

Well,well. Now I've heard it all on Yahoo Answers! Am I ever glad to be a Christian. The sacrificing has been done for me and I won't have to have my still beating heart yanked from my chest by someone like you.

That's not true. Yes martyrs have died for God and gone to heaven, but you're very wrong. You have to do God's will and follow his comandments. Summed up all you have to do is truly love everyone as your self. Do this and your going to heaven. You do have to sacrifice though, but God tells us we don't have to sacrifice anything living. Unlike gods, it seems, God is more peaceful and humane.

The sacrifice has already been made and because of it I do not have to do anything except believe, so I am ready. You know what happened to the Aztecs?

specific and that i be conscious of; is basically believing in God sufficient to make it into the dominion of heaven? In John 3:3-5 the bible says, Jesus responded and stated unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, different than a guy be born back, he can't see the dominion of God. Nicode'mus saith unto him, How can a guy be born while he's previous? can he enter the 2d time into his mom's womb, and be born? Jesus responded, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, different than a guy be born of water and of the Spirit, he can't enter into the dominion of God.

I appreciate your concern, but I don't want to sacrifice anything. I don't want to go to heaven either.
