impossible. The Death/Birth ratio would have to b 1:1 which i doubt it is

well, in a little african tribe, there is the belief that when you kill anything living (animals only) a little version of the killed being crawls out of the animal's mouth and runs and jumps into something just being born, and that's how life and souls continue, so inturn they try not to kill too many things too fast because the little versions need time to find new things to hop into. plus it's a reason to procreate. plus, i think the birth rate is going faster than the death rate, you can blame the chineese for that.

Heaven, Hell, pergatory (for people to wait out to be cleansed from their sins), limbo (for the unbaptized babies).

I've always asked myself though, "What happens to the people in Africa, for example, that don't even know about Christianity? Would they ever make it into heaven?"

If I'm not mistaken most Christ based religions require you to accept Jesus as your savior...failure to do so would mean that you would be cast into hell for your sins.

Yeah, but I always wondered about the uninformed people. I know they can't get to heaven without being baptized, but I was wondering if they have a "pergatory/limbo-type" of place to go? Gotta ask a priest that sometime.

I never heard you HAVE to be baptized. Is that a Catholic thing?

I know that is required for Catholics...I'm not too sure about Protestants and whatnot.

[Scalping Chief]

i think you become reincarnated (sp?) as someone or something.

[Zoner]

I'll haunt you after I die and tell you the scoop on the whole deal.

[Mr.Buttocks]

I think we're already dead. The "reality" we're all experiencing right now is Hell. hellfire:

[Zoner]

...or at least purgatory. hellfire:
