I don't think that religion or the idea of heaven played a role in the Chilean gov't overthrow.

Or are you talking about 1972 munich, germany ? Because that DID involve religous zealots.

1844 ? 1777 ? Not related directly to the myth of heaven.

september 11 1973 or september 11 2001?

The promise of heaven caused quite a bit of violence on 9/11.

This scares me about believers. They say, "Without god, anything goes...you can kill, rape and steal...etc. without consequence !"

As if, if they weren't afraid of hell they would be doing these things.

If that is the case, I'd rather they keep believing in their imaginary friend.

Doesn't your life become much more important to you when you realize that this one, here on earth, is the only one you get ?

And a damn good thing that is. The feer of goin to hell keeps alot of violence from happening..

no he's not, because hell doesn't exist.

It's a symbol that was intended to scare simple minded people (almost everyone) into doing what they're told.

Peter Popoff is a brilliant scammer. This guy has made some serious cash preying on the insecurities and delusion of people that don't know any better. He is also going to hell, what he is doing has so many sins attached to it I don't even have room to list them.

Why? Just because he is trying to find truth in things? Your relegion is full of hypocrits.
