In fact, it comes across as "well meaning (but totally stupid)" in a way which Martin's does not. I can see no way his comment can be construed as judgemental of anyone's religion, but if you can, please feel free to explain. When one looks across the Styx from the land of the living, there is, I understand, no sign on the other side stating that landing is prohibited to souls adhering to particular religions. The Styx is of course a feature of Greek mythology, but despite it having been later adopted in some literature as a feature of Christian hell, anyone mentioning the Styx today would not generally intend a connection with Christian hell, and certainly not with an exclusively Christians-only hell. But perhaps I'm mistaken. What do I know? |

You see STIX is a measure of craft stability, and if your inflator fails, you probably won't have any stability. If you are so sensitive, I suggest you go back to your padded room. PyroJames. |

In this, the one "out of order" is yourself. > Are you judgmental of ukrs posters' religions? No, he's not. > Why mention 'Styx' (sp) ? In an allusion to classical mythology, in this instance Greek mythology. Crossing the Styx is a reference to dying, the transition between these world and the next. > Where do Muslim's souls go? Or Hindu's? Or Buddhist's? Or indeed Christian's. I tell you what, you prove to me the existence of an immortal soul and I'll give the matter of where it goes some serious thought. Until then, lets treat all the sky fairy stories as a pointless waste of time to soothe the fears of the stupid who cannot face life without some form of mental crutch. > Heaven protect us from well meaning (but totally stupid) comment.

There's only on idiot here, and that's the one who seems to thinkt hat a reference to the Styx in some way denigrates other religions, but a reference to a Christian Heaven does not. |
