You've given us plenty of food for thought with this one, Hitch.

morelike hypocrisy.

There was an episode of the old Rod Serling series Night Gallery in which this hard core biker dude gets killed when his motorcycle hits a tree. He suddenly finds himself carreening down this dark slide, and lands in this Victorian-style room with lots of lace and doiles, and two old ladies chatting while this chubby American couple puts on an endless slide show of their Hawaiian vacation.

Pretty soon a well-dressed man comes in and introduces himself as the devil, explaining to the biker that he's dead and sentenced to hell. The biker is all excited for the fire and brimstone and physical torture, but the devil explains that hell is different for everybody, and this boring room is his. It was pretty funny.

I haven't seen anything that would reallly make the sale for becoming a christian and trying to go to heaven. It would be interesting to get the official christian position, though. Then we could make a rational decision about wanting to go there.

But, I suspect this point has been left vague deliberately. I guess you can fantasize about your own version of paradise. bk

It doesn't matter -- whatever it is won't experience day or night, or the passage of time; you will be in an endless NOW of boundless joy, love, and security....

Awesome...but do I get to visit the muslims 'room'...I mean they've been promised 71 virgins or some such...they can't keep them all occupied at once can they?

I was planning in sitting on my cloud and playing my harp for the most part. Thats when i wasnt at the toilet or watching Eastenders.

In order for them to be roomed with six dozen virgins, they would have to abstain from all of them, else their paradise would diminish with every cherry popped....Shows how smart they are to believe that, anyway -- would you want to spend eternity in the same room with six dozen hotties you couldn't touch?

I'd rather have twins that can breathe through their ears, with no gag reflex....

Well, there is a fair amount of info on what hell is like. Why no real input of heaven. Other than it's "paradise"?bk
