What if in heaven...

I'm still chuckling over the idea that derspeiss will meet a female god when/if he goes to heaven, and it, of course, has me thinking.

Given the way that you live your life today, what are you really hoping doesn't screw you in heaven?

For me, it would completely suck if I found out that Catholics had it mostly right, and because I didn't stick to that path, I'm now going somewhere not so pleasant as heaven.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

First thing that comes to mind is: spending too much time on Languish.

Once I've recovered from the shock of there actually being an afterlife, I presume I would head off to the City of Dis, according to this quiz.

QuoteYou approach Satan's wretched city where you behold a wide plain surrounded by iron walls. Before you are fields full of distress and torment terrible. Burning tombs are littered about the landscape. Inside these flaming sepulchers suffer the heretics, failing to believe in God and the afterlife, who make themselves audible by doleful sighs. You will join the wicked that lie here, and will be offered no respite. The three infernal Furies stained with blood, with limbs of women and hair of serpents, dwell in this circle of Hell.

I'm really hoping there isn't an afterlife, as I don't appear to be one of the elect.

Man it would suck if we really did sit around on clouds playing harps all day for eternity.  I hate harp music.

That I would be the only one there.   :(

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I sure hope the afterlife doesn't consist of that.  :lol:

That any religion actually is true.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

If there is a female god, or any god, or gods, I would first want a really good explanation why she, he, they, it have cocked things up so badly.

The Greek Gods were real after all!  Welcome to Hades.

That would be pretty cool and would present a cogent reason as to why the gods have messed things up so badly.
