Freddie Mercury is NOT a role model, the only role model for you is Jesus Christ.

What about people like me, who don´t believe in Jesus? ...

As far as I know, Jesus Christ did really exist. He may not have actually been the "son of god," but he was a real walking, breathing human being. At least according to my history book... And, no, it wasn't the bible. And I'm sure it wasn't written from a religious perspective- it was entirely historical.

I actually tried reading the bible once. My mom bought me a Jewish study bible, with commentaries and interpretations. Now, I'm no scholar or anything, but the part in Leviticus 18:somethingorother where it supposedly condemns homosexuality, someone (I guess it was a rabbi, or something) wrote something very interesting:

"Biblical and Near Eastern culture was not familiar with homosexuality in the sense of a sexual orientation or lifestyle (according to the biblical evidence David and Jonah had not sexual relationship). It acknowledges only the occasional act of male anal intercourse, usually as an act of force associated with humiliation, revenge, or subjection... It seems that H views all sexual acts that are not potentially procreative as aberrant."

Notice where it says, "...USUALLY AS AN ACT OF FORCE ASSOCIATED WITH HUMILIATION, REVENGE, OR SUBJECTION..." So, basically rape, right? Again, I'm hardly familiar with the bible, but I don't recall anything in that section (there may be in another part of the bible) calling it an abomination for a man to do this to a woman (which shows you what type of people wrote the bible)- unless you're agreeing with the rabbi when he or she said, "It seems that H views all sexual acts that are not potentially procreative as aberrant." But then in that case, doesn't just about everyone have sex for pleasure? Not primarily for procreation.

You just can't take the bible 100% literally. Aren't there 613 commandments? I learned that in Hebrew school, so that just may be in the old testament alone. Need I remind anyone of a certain letter to Dr. Laura?

I do, bigtime!

Anyone who studies music, get's in several bands, working on their trade, all the way until they are a music legend, is a good role model. The idea of a role model is silly. Nobody can realisticaly stand tall in all areas of life. So he made mistakes, had flaws and what not. He went through life a winner and someone who's name and contribution will still be around 200 years from now.

I dont dare say that FM went to hell, but unless he became converted in the very end of his life, his life gave no evidence that he was a Christian. And if he wasn't one, then I'm afraid Freddie IS in hell, burning, and suffering greatly.

Well, I guess I'm going to hell too, since I'm Jewish. I sure as hell never plan on converting. But I guess it isn't all bad- I'll be there with my family, my Jewish friends, my Christian friends who were never baptised and don't plan on living a perfect Christian lifestye, and Freddie Mercury! Hell actually doesn't sound too bad to me!

They found an ossuary (a stone box in which the bones of a dead person were put) with the inscription "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus" in Israel, it was dated to around AD 50 and the chance of these names existing in that specific relation and NOT being about 'the' Jesus was about 1:5 000 000. However, the biblical Jesus is probably not as important as he is described. Most probably, he was one of the most important figures in the early version of the Jewish sect which later became Christianity, but to make their 'history' of events easier to follow, the acts and lives of many people were joined together in Jesus. Plus, of course, the dose of fiction, which is a natural consequence of the stories being transferred orally for well over 200 years before they were written down.[/QUOTE]

sorry to disappoint you darling, but today most of the Archeologists belive that this ossuary is a fraud - we have a lot of those in Israel, naturally, land of the bible and a lot of people want to meke easy money. anyway - as for the rest of what you said, you're probably right, Jesus was probably a very charismatic humnan being who preached in the spirit of the bible's prophets and became "the son of god" in the heads of people years later.

as for you - SomebodyWhoLoves - you're a god damn idiot, or you're just very young and ignorant. i'm jewish as well - will i go to hell?
wait up SergeantPepperDG - save me a sit in the FM's post mortem concert!!!!!!

I cant believe some ppl on here...!!!!!

why fucking come on Queenzone if you dont like the person Freddie was!!!

There are some Jews who are in heaven right now. Moses, King David, King Solomon, Abraham, etc.

During the exodus period, some Jews were obedient to God, and were saved. However, the great majority of Jews died in the desert because of unbelief.

Heaven will be full of believers.

Hell will be full of unbelievers.

Which one will you be?

this should be renamed to

Biblezone Not Queenzone!

Hm... tough deci- UNBELIEVER.

Now where are those lightning bolts?

I aint a unbeliever!
