Better to rule in hell, than to serve in heaven
Bitches.

The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis
Everyone gets on the bus which goes to heaven and hell, your choice, where you get off. But those whose ideals of what heaven should be vs what it is, prefer to pick hell as their stop. Sinners punish themselves, no god or devils.
Very much like the ideal suggested by this comic.

Heaven
Can you imagine how boooooring heaven must be? Everything perfect for all of eternity. Yawn. Not to mention it's packed full of the souls of the unborn (assuming every fertilized egg has a soul, 60% of those being naturally miscarried). At least in hell they might vary the punishments, roasted over the fire one day, jabbed with a pitchfork the next.

Time to cue up the last scene of...
Monty Python's meaning of life
"it's christmas in heaven!!"
hip hip hooray!

same ol' same ol'?
ChillyDogg, I doubt euphoria would get old, and I'd be willing to find out the hard way, but I make no claim to know anything about any afterlife or lack thereof.

Take it easy on ChillyDog
He just had his first day in PHIL 101 and he's feeling transgressive.

Heaven
Actually Chillydogg the percentage is much greater than 60%. For each abortion there are at least ten fertilized human eggs that either got flushed out, didn't take hold, miscarried, or etc. No can knows what the actual figure is, but it's big, probably double the actual number of human beings on the planet.
In any case, I am more or less a Buddhist, so the idea of there not being a hell, and heaven being a place where personal growth continues, is easy to accept.
Are we really certain Lola isn't a Buddhist (the Amish were mentioned, but the word "Christian" was not, and heaven is a generic abstract concept)?

Lola's Heaven
As a Roman Catholic, I've got my way to be closer to God - but I would never attempt, as so many evangelical Brill Creme Christians do, to force my religion on another; quite the contrary, as George Lucas says, "We're all looking at different parts of the same elephant." Heaven must be full of some very colourful individuals, and the shock on the "Ned Flanders" brand Christians' faces will make it well worth the trip to see.

Why would anyone assume
that heaven is a single common place? True heaven would probably be all that fulfills your soul all the time. Meaning good misanthropes would get to be around people minimally and good social butterflys would get all the prime time social parties they want.
And there would be lots of mind shattering sex too (always MY best part about heaven) for those who want it.

Falwellian Annoyance
As an evangelical Christian who is committed to biblical authority, I can't quite agree with the theology.
But as someone who is awash in the grace of God, I can't help but love the sentiment!

Ohio needs more Amish
because the fundies here are NUTS! This past weekend, members of New Beginnings ministries attended services at two churches (Methodist and Baptist) that are open to all and disrupted the services with speeches that told the ministers and worshippers they are sinners because they do not speak out against homosexuality.
-
Yes, please
I'm such a Lola fan... Her serene downward dog and succinct "yep" sorta sum her up, for me.
And yeah. I'm right there with the rest of you. I think a lot of the fundies make their own hell right here on earth, never mind the after life. It must be hard to carry that much hate all the time like that.
I was at the San Francisco AIDS walk, and there were a pair of so-called Christians yapping on about the "sin" of homosexuality. What came of that? They offended some people trying to raise money to fight a global epidemic, they got cat-called and a few drag queens posed next to them and their giant "God Hates You" sign. Oh yeah, a good day's work for... God? Hmm, seems wrong somehow, doesn't it?

Will Salon ever run this one?

Or does pissing off the Muslims run counter to your editorial policy?
