Our understanding of the afterlife is so very limited.  I think the common threads throughout many of the religions points to a similar outcome that is probably independant of spiritual flavour.  Our personal spiritual tradition gives us a way of comprehending an incomprehensible concept.

it's just another one of those religious contradictions.

There *are* no eternal consequences, and people do exactly what you observe they do.  One of the things you might observe is that the least religious societies are also the most civilised.  Reflect on that.

Hate and insults about other faiths\n\ncondemning anyone not believing in yr faith to hell\n\nAggressive publicity and maligning other faiths and terrorising them into conversion

You would hope the positive side would be actually caring about the people it helps or teaches.(but that has to be questioned when the religious institution involved if it is too political or money orientated).\n\nThe negatives to me are a lot more obvious in the fact that all religions are sectarian and exclusive so in some form (small or large) they will always persecute people of other faiths and especially atheists.

I don't know. \nI am personally worried about atheists. It shouldn't be happened.\nBut what I can say is - even if the atheist be buried or cremated or thrown away to the jungle, there may be at least one religious person in his immediate family. He will pray or do something according to his own religion. I mean, at least someone from the neighbourhood will pray for his soul.

Freedom of speech just like You are demonstrating here, and We are demonstrating back.  Hopefully People would pray for You.  If They are strong in Their beliefs, Their faith, You wouldn't be anything more than a temporary distraction.\nIt wouldn't be loitering, but it might be tress passing, depending on if the People's yard You were standing in didn't want You there.  Lots of Church's are by houses.\n\nWhy, are there People standing by Your house holding signs that read There is a God, and  an afterlife, so get with the program?

Religion and Relationships are big topics

You are correct. \n\nWhat it comes down to is that religion is irrational.

Nah.  I tend to question any links between God and any religious organization that relies heavily on violent means to an end.  To me, if the basis for any religion is not the promotion of world peace, harmonious existence, and peace with nature, the religion is not a true reflection of God's will.

Science seeks the answers. Religion closes its eyes to the nature of the Universe.

It's more poetic junk in the Bible that you can really interpret to whatever you want it to be.  This bit seems to be more threats of hellfire for those outside the group.  Religion likes to use the carrot and stick approach to gaining and keeping converts.  This is one example of a stick.  On the carrot side of it, they'll talk about "God's love" and such (ignoring, of course, such contradictions as this).

The bible is open to interpretations.  Jesus stated that we will not be given the knowledge to predict these coming events.  A massive earthquake is imminent especially in the "ring of fire" as we have seen lately with the Indonesian tsunami, the recent earthquake in Indonesia's java province, and the small earthquake in the Pacific Northwest.  As far an Asteriod hitting us, God only knows.  If you have Jesus in your life, you don't have to worry about all this stuff.
