that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14.....Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life,
and few there be that find it."


Sounds like a fare jumper problem. Buy a token first.

Tokens only cost $6.66....a real steal.

That's up quite a bit since the last time I bought one. I don't mind
going to Hell, just as long as I don't have to go through Brooklyn
to get there.

[O Really]

It's been a while since there were tokens at all. Now you have to get a metro card whether you go through Brooklyn or not. I think it's $3.00 for a single fare. I've got an "employee" pass for PATH and a NJ Transit app, but the subway is still pretty manual. I'm thinking if you wanted a "Hellish" $6.66 ride you can just take MetroNorth to New Haven.

Is that a one-way trip...?

Like I said, it was a long time ago. Three bucks sounds
about right. 666. Oh no, the Sign of the Dyslexic.

We used to call the neighbor's kid "the little antichrist."

In his defence, the number on his forehead was 665.

Damn, rstrong. You've got one hell of a heritage. Small wonder you don't know dignity.

There's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven. Is the Devil more committed to infrastructure spending?

There's a US Highway 666 out West. Maybe that's the highway to Hell? I can't find anything on those stairs though.

Right here: (I lost count after 40 steps)

I always got a kick out of that tee shirt--333 I'm Only Half Evil.

To be a rock and not to roll...... :angel4:

So the stairs start a couple thousand feet off the ground, and each step is a couple hundred feet high. Heaven is entirely inaccessible. Given what's done in God's name and what's commanded by the Bible's earthly writers and editors, that's probably wise.

"One giant leap for mankind......."

It's the leap of faith that gets you to the first step.......

I know someone that joined a church in order to get a chunk of money off of a gym membership. Is that a sin or just laudable thrift and proper care for the body God gave him?

It's sinful greed; Biblically known as filthy lucre.

Someone told me once that they were looking for a church that had a good sports program for his kids.
I believe in reality, he was looking for a Sundays and Wednesdays babysitter.

What if one were to join a church just to get into heaven though?

Happens every day. Most religious folk believe God is that easy to fool.

Yup. That's not the sort of thing you can fix by shuffling him to a different unsuspecting parish.
