Heaven – who needs it?
When I was a kid – as with all kids – I was pretty stupid, and as with stupid people things tended to make a lot more sense.
Now I am not saying I am not stupid anymore, but I can assure you that things certainly don’t make sense to me anymore.
Take heaven for instance. I was discussing comically the other day about how when we are in heaven; the streets will be paved with gold! Wonderful – until you start thinking about that – here are some things I considered right off the bat:
- I assume this implies pure gold – this is heaven after all
- Pure gold is quite soft, soft enough to sink into given enough weight, and I have enough weight…
- If we have streets, do we have vehicles as well?
Hey Fred, some pick me up in your new styling heaven mobile!
- Do we all have the same vehicle? If not, I might get jealous…
- Do the vehicles pollute?
Watch out Jesus hasn’t had him emissions test done this millennium yet on his godscooter…
So that is just some starter logistics. More importantly, who am I there with? As a kid this was not a problem – I liked my parents, my siblings, family etc. Now, can you seriously say there is anyone you would/could spend eternity with? It’s like:
Hey Dad! Good to see you in heaven you child molesting, raping, scheming drunk bastard! Glad I get to spend eternity sleeping in the next room to you!
Or how about all the people who get divorced and married multiple times? What are those sleeping arrangements? Note, if you are thinking easy, the last spouse! Well, from my limited experience in the matters of multiple divorces, given enough time there will ALWAYS be another separation
Anyhow, just something pleasant I have been thinking about lately, sign me up!
