Did you not mean, "Err on the sde of caution"?
If everyone erred on the side of caution, that would mean that no one would ever take any risks. If no one ever took any risks, then that would lead to stagnation in the development of our civilisation.
and yea err, that's what I meant. and people wouldn't be "perfect", because we will still fall short, we know that. So I'm sure someone will give us something to pray about.
You have used a word that descibes a habitual ceremonial practice. They regard this as an insult to them, and an insult to yourself. They recommend quiet contemplation at an appropriate time and place, instead. They frown on habitual ceremonial practices.
I am going to try to explain this to you (I hope for the last time), so that people stop spreading these fanciful concepts to future generations of people. The word you used above in your comment, usually refers to a subterranean nether world where bad people go when they die, and the opposite, a region in space where one or more deities exist and where supposedly good people go when they die.
Ancient people knew very little about our natural Universe. It is ironic, that some of the more Enlightened people in the Ancient Hellenic civilisation knew that the Earth was a sphere (they had measured this to some degree of accuracy) and that the solar system was heliocentric. Later people, who knew very little about the natural Universe, these being the 'followers' of Jesus of Nazareth, adopted old ideas from earlier Mesopotamian civilisation. They imagined that the Earth was flat, and that the solar system was geocentric. They imagined that when a person dies, if they are bad, they go down, if they are good, they go up among the stars. We now know much more about the structure of Earth and the properties of space. Let's suppose that this 'bad' place actually exists in the molten part of the mantle of Earth's crust. We also now know that outer space and most planets are hostile environments, few planets capable of supporting life, and fewer still capable of supporting human life.
Please consider the following seriously:
Let's suppose that there is a hypothetical Earth-like planet in orbit around a nearby Sun-like star like Vega. You build a spaceship, and travel to this other planet. Now you stand on the surface of the planet, and look out into space at night, towards Sol (our Sun). Is planet Earth now not in the 'good' place? What about the 'bad' place? Is it now in with the 'good' place, or did it move because you did, and is now beneath the surface of the other planet?
There can be only two other possibilities. Some type of parallel Universe, but this is impossible. Why? If it were an antimatter Universe, it would annihilate ordinary matter, and thus you. If it were an ordinary matter Universe, it would be part of our Universe.
The only other option left, is an Exo-Universe. I would be willing to discuss this with you, IF you promise to keep an open mind AND you try to stop spreading these old outdated ideas and concepts around.
The terms up and down, Hell and Heaven, above and below are somewhat figurative. Besides, Heaven is outside our universe, so that's still somewhat correct. As for Hell, down means to be low, and to be low is a bit symbolic for being wretched or evil. Besides, the Bible was written by man (though most readings usually orginated from what Jesus said). It is subject to flaw.
I disagree. The terms up and down are relative directions. No absolute direction corresponds to any of the relative directions. This is a consequence of the translational invariance of the laws of physics: nature, loosely speaking, behaves the same no matter what direction one moves. The terms above and below are relative positions. Direction is the information contained in the relative position of one point with respect to another point without the distance information. Because of this, none of these exist in nature, unless we agree on an absolute frame of reference.
The other two terms that you mentioned, which I care not to repeat (thus creating division in society), are purely abstract concepts (fantasy) that do not exist in this Universe or any other Universe, except in the minds and media of some of the people of the specie Homo sapiens sapiens. I have 'inside' information of this.
Haven't you ever heard of figurative speech? And no, Heaven (or whatever you may call it) exists. Hell, I'm still investigating. I, too, have "inside info." I've studied chakras, astral projection, energy manipulation, metaphysics, witchcraft, religion (many kinds), Paganism, Wicca, etc.
By the way, everything you do creates a division in society, because not everyone is you.
Why are you always telling people they are causing divisions in society when you do the same thing?
IIN I think people who believe the Bible is the word of God are...

No, it would mean that in your case, if you were wrong, you wouldn't go to hell =)
