There might equally be things in Hammurabi's Code or Justinian's Corpus Juris Civilis that we Americans find abhorrent but, yes, if we're going to give homage to law codes by putting them on government buildings (like the Supreme Court building) then we should do it with all of the law codes that had an influence on Western civilization.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

The truely devout know that it is not for man to bring about the rapture. When God deems it time then it will occur, there is nothing that man can do to speed up or slow down this proccess (at least there is nothing to suggest that man has control over such things).

As for the Hell bit, the Bible clearly states that man isn't judged upon death, but rather upon resurrection. Under Christianity the notion that man goes directly to heaven or Hell isn't very Biblical. After judgement Hell is thrown into the Lake of Fire.

Don't worry about that. If you give our church $5,000, you will be assured a seat in heaven ahead of those bastards who never gave a cent.

In Heaven or who get to become the elect and spend the milennium with Jesus?

Let me grab a bible, from memory, when Heaven on Earth is created (revolations). They only have 14,400 spots from each church.
