Common Misconceptions 2
Society's skewed notion of Christianity:
1) People can get to Heaven by Doing Good.
2) When good people die, they become angels with wings and a halo, sitting on clouds playing harps.
3) The only thing you do in Heaven is sit on clouds and play harps.
4) Hell is a place where you are tortured by demons. (This is a particularly annoying misconception because in actual fact, demons will be burning in Hell too. They will be suffering just as much, and they are NOT the ones doing the torturing. Hell is a punishment place for demons just as much as it is for other souls.)
5) Hell is one big party place with drinks, drugs, smoke, free sex, etc. (Sounds more like a description of Earth!)
6) God doesn't care for us, as can be seen by all the crappy, bad things happening.
In fact, the general notion of God has morphed so much, it's unrecognizable. I dare say it's morphed into another 'religion' altogether!
