2. Well, according to the Baptists:
You are welcomed with a banquet that lasts seven years. So, I guess you can eat whatever you want. Those damned Baptists. Everything is about food with them! LOL

3. Sure.
I like it here on Earth, and they are here.
Heaven must be a big place if they are going to be there, so I'm sure I can avoid them!
:P

10. They won't go to heaven because they are hateful..
And they don't know their own ideology. God will laugh at them, if I'm right.

13. Sounds logical
Falwell and Robertson use God and Christ as a political tool, its not meant to be that way.

5. Thanks, God. Can you also tell me if Kerry is going to beat Bush?
And may I have three wishes granted?

8. its bad enough sharing the universe with them.
Heaven is not where they are destined to be however.
I would just as soon find out where Bertrand Russell or Samuel Clemmens and Oscar Wilde went.

17. LOL !
but what about the 72 raisons or virgins waiting for martyrs - depending on what translation of the Koran one uses ?

To be fair. Im an agnostic. My stance is I don't know, and " they " don't either.
Anything beyond that is a myth. ( maybe ) .

I still think organized religeon generally = organized crime. And for the western tradition I am indebted to Martin Luther on one hand and Erasmus on the other.

So, no I don't have anything against Babtists, or Jains, or Hindus, or Pantheistic religeions of Rome or Greece, or the Nordic folk, nor Islam, nor any of the hundred of different Christian Sects except for fundies and Xistians - I tend to find their intolerance intolorable.

It took me a while to get un dogmatized. I'll probably stay that way.

16. It doesn't matter whether they are there or not
I used to say, send me to hell with all the fun people. Now I have a different way of thinking about it. When we die and go to heaven, all of us are transformed into heavenly creatures. In heaven, Pat and Jerry will have seen the errors of their ways and won't be intolerable. As we will have changed, too, and they won't find us to be intolerable, either.
