Then why havn't religious leaders around the world died in horrible bolts of divine wrath, hmm? I think that might be the rael question.
Answer: Divine Wrath is patient. Unlike back in the old days, it doesn't want to strike at the sight of evil. If it did, free will would be pointless. So, it's going to wait... and wait... and wait some more... and then Sparta Kick them all at once.
The answer is because I am a benevolent deity, and I believe people can wrap their heads in whatever claptrap they feel like, 'cause I'm not keeping you all alive forever... and when you die... Well... that's my secret. You'd get a kick out of it, though.
Wow. That was deep. I wonder, does the true pantheon enjoy pastries? But anyway, the real thing I wanted to ask now is: If sin gets you into Hell, what happens if you sin in Heaven? You are supposed to get all of the pleasure you need so it's bound to be sinful sooner or later. By the way, guest riddlers are VERY welcome right now, I never expected to be out so quickly!

If you have no challenges to overcome, you'll know the true meaning of torture. There was an episode of The Twilight Zone about a mobster who finds himself in heaven... and everything goes his way. He gambles and always wins, he's always surrounded by swooning women, he never runs out of alcohol... but he gradually begins to realize that he has no meaning because he's unable to fail. I'd be a lot more appreciative for the half second where the fire wasn't quite as hot, a lot more than I'd appreciate the eternal dullness. The only way Heaven would be nice is if free will was removed, which is a no-no, says the book.
i don't think you can sin in heaven! any way i beleve when you go to heaven god teaches you not to sin.
I see, I will wait for a few more answers before declaring a winner. In the mean time, I hope that SOMEONE will put up some guest riddles, I'm having to start thinking about them to put them up!
Well, kudos to you for thinking of some intriguing riddles. They've kept me somewhat entertained lately. ;)
Looks like I need a new brain tweeker to keep you all interested...... So now the age old question returns, If hot dogs are sold in packs of six, why are buns sold in fours?
Answer: Because you're supposed to have two hot dogs on each bun and eat the extra with butter. :p Riddle: If dragons, fairies. elves, and the like, are mythical creatures, why did countries who never came into contact with each other have "legends" about all the same things?
OHMAGOASH!!!! sorry, it would appear I need to rephrase that, but in the mean time...... PAY ATTENTION TO JYNX'S RIDDLE. PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN GOING BEHIND THIS CURTAIN. *(shuffle shuffle)* NOW PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN. And I think that the myths are real, ooooooooooooooooooooohhhhooooooohhhhohohhhhooooohhhhh.
Uh, Jynx? Love the enthusiasm, but wait to choose a winner for your previous riddle before posting a new one. I don't need my guest riddler to run out of idea's THAT fast. Anyways, for the new riddle my answer is: No one is upside down if they look from a different perspective.
Oh... ok. You win both, then. :p Edit: New riddle. There are two paths. One shows a bright meadow with dark shadows all around it, the other a small clearing with a stump in the middle. If you go to the meadow, you fall asleep as soon as you pass the shadows and leave yourself out in the open, where anything can find you. If you go to the clearing, you'll never sleep again, instead going into a meditation-like state with your senses still alert. What are you not seeing?
umm, the shadows? I know good riddle. Riddle: I'm am a vessel without hinges, lock or lid, yet within my walls, a golden treasure is hid. What am I?
