I'll try to make this the Reader's Digest Condensed version, because I know time is valuable.

Sorry, Rowan, I think I posted something like that and you are right, it was not intended as serious, but it's not funny either. I did not want to make you uncomfortable, but the folly of some people thinking like that just doesn't make sense to me. I am with you all the way about a loving God. I have a friend who doesn't even believe in hell, or thinks maybe that this is it. I don't know. Sometimes I think religion is just a clever way to keep people in line and then sometimes I'm singin' in the choir. I vascilate.
Apology is all I can offer, but it is sincere.

I do believe in a heaven and a hell.
I believe everyone has their own personal relationship with God or not.
Kind of like with your parents, each child is an individual and will have his or her own relationship with their parents.
People can make suggestions or discuss their relationships, but ultimately each individual will have their own relationship as they know it if they choose too. I think it is as simple as that.
As far as who goes to hell that is between God and each individual. But he does speak of hell and so I believe there will be one. I think he is loving. I do not think it is God who sends us to hell, but rather satan who can take someone there.
Maybe those who worship satan go with satan and those who worship God go with God. I don't know for sure but I just have my ideas as I read, pray, and research.

What do you think about Britney's new hair-do & tattoos?
Do you remember Milli Vanilli?

I'm so sorry you had a tough experience with your mom. I experienced the religious stuff with someone and I don't have to communicate with the person on a regular basis, but I was able to let it go because I am so confident in my decisions and how I live my life. I know that it must be terribly hard when it comes from your mother.
I think you have gotten great advice so far. I'm sure in time she will accept it, even though she may never approve. I hope you can eventually
Thanks {{{Caly}}}
I've been feeling much better about it lately.
Hi {{{TiNG}}},
Yes, for me the hardest part is that it's my Mom.
