    Per the bible, we aren’t really even allowed to be human beings and are all born wretches full of original sin. If that’s true than I’d rather have the free ice cream and body tattoos and promiscuity while I’m going to hell.

          Before, Goku died to Radditz to forgive our sins again because we just can’t stop sinning.

            1. And then Goku stood with his 5 companions and they all went super Saiyan. 2. They channeled the energy from their pure hearts (even Vegeta, though everyone did doubt his heart was pure, they let it slide because they really wanted to see the coming fight and Brolly would have been just as questionable) and at first nothing happened and the god of destruction Beerus was about to destroy the world. 3. But then a new kind of energy filled Goku and powered him up even more than SSJ3, though it did not make his hair even bigger and brow even more like that of a pre-human hominid. 4. Instead, it turned his hair red and his ki godly and pleased even Beerus, who once destroyed an entire planet because they burned one side of his toast too much. 5. And then Goku the god looked at Beerus and said, “Let there be fight.” 6. And then they fought and it was good.

        Well there never really was a “Jesus” who saved us from original sin, and the bible is simply a work of misogynistic and bigoted fiction. I don’t need “saving,” I’m not a ‘wretch,’ I was never “blind but now I see.” WRONG. WRONG ON ALL COUNTS!!! I am a human being of great value and worth by virtue of my existence, and I don’t require or want dependency on some fictional idiotic being for my salvation or sense of worth.

            OH yeah. I’m doing great, sometimes I get a little carried away with my statements - but I really am doing great. And I feel I owe that to my own hard work and resilience and not being dependent on a fictional diety (but that’s my way of seeing it).

              I sometimes forget that there are people out there that take any of this seriously. I was just explaining a plot point so your reply seemed very out of left field with a chainsaw bear.

                Yeah it was a little heavy handed, I admit. I live in Utah where religion is most people’s way of life, and believe me, they’re dead serious about it to the point that it’s almost frightening.

        Makes sense. I hope he’ll take some old kleenex and a piece of lint-covered candy for payment.
