I have 3 words for the Tea-Bagging Republicans...

GO TO HELL !!!!!!!!!!!!

1. I don't think you understand

According to them it is the rest of us liberal heathens that will spend an eternity burning for wanting to feed the hungry, help the poor, and allow everyone to see a doctor.

Seems we want the same thing as Jesus, huh?

Weird.

2. I've decided long ago I want to go in the opposite direction they will go!

Spending an eternity with tea baggers, Bush, Robertson, etc would be a complete nightmare and pure hell. Whatever direction they go I want to go in the other!

3. By the way, since they believe heaven's streets are lined with gold did it come from Goldline?

But if streets were lined with gold in heaven isn't that contradictory to God's message that material things do not matter? The gold promise in the Christian belief sounds a bit like the 70 virgin thing in the Islamic faith. Given the choice between the two I would definitely choose the carnal delights of virgins!

4. As would I

But I have a feeling my loving wife may have a slight problem with it.

5. where was it that i saw.... they didn't say what kind of virgins...

could be 40 year old virgins. i think it's all a lot of hooey. i like to think of heaven this way.... i imagine my mom is up sitting playing cards with her dad and my aunt. she's smoking her cigarettes and drinking coffee. maybe my husband's mom is sitting there having coffee too. my sister is running around the table telling everyone what cards my aunt has in her hands. that sounds like heaven to me. oh, and my dad is having fun with all his cars he had here. that sounds like heaven to me.

6. To be honest

My heaven would be a constant replay of the perfect day spent with my wife and kid. Going to the zoo, or waterpark, or playing baseball in the back yard. Laughing and playing all day. I could think of nothing better.

That was freakin sappy.

7. i don't know what heaven would be for me personally, but i like to think that is what my

mom is doing up there now. she died when i was 12. i often wonder if heaven is not just something we make up so that we can keep going after losing a loved one. i have to believe she is somewhere, otherwise.... why bother. what is the point. i think heaven is different for everyone. have you ever seen the movie 'what dreams may come' in which robin williams plays a character who loses his two kids in a car accident and his wife ends up in a hospital. she is an artist. he ends up dying assisting someone in an accident and then goes to heaven. his heaven ends up being one of his wife's paintings. it's a LOOONNNGGG movie but good.

8. Love that movie

Absolutely love it.

I really do wish that I could believe in heaven. It would make things so much easier for me. But my stupid analytical brain just can't allow it.

What I tell myself is that I have to stay true to who I am. Everyone is entitled to their belief system, and I readily admit that I may be wrong. But I have found a sort of beauty in the Universe without god and heaven. Just the enormity of it all. The complexity. And really how we are all made of the same stuff. And not just us, the planets, the stars, everything. We are all constantly recycled and made anew in something else. The atoms of my body may one day become a tree, or a rock, or in the distant future, the building blocks of a new star, giving birth to another planet where life may form.

At least scientifically, I have found a sort of peace with it.

9. That's a beautiful picture of heaven you painted.

That's one I'll remember. Thanks...

10. Judging from the posts...

It is a very short distance from hell to heaven.. :-)

11. But they are the Christians and only they believe in God.

I wish God would smite a couple of public ones and see what comes of it. Not kill just smite a little and make them incapacitated for a while.
