Heaven or hell?

[H2O Man]

15. That makes sense.

Last night I was wondering if you live in a city. But I get what you are saying. At least I think I do. I agree that the majority of people in the United States who are religious subscribe to Santa God and Stained Glass Jesus. I think that christianity has perverted the gentle message of the prophet Jesus. I'll give an exampl.

There was a nice lady who worked in the front office at the mental health clinic. Her husband had worked for my father in the local military-industrial factory. One evening, he choked to death a piece of chicken as they couple were having supper. During the funeral, the christian minister was saying how we should all be happy for Richard, as he had loved desserts while living on earth .... and now that he was in heaven, he could enjoy an endless supply of the best desserts. Surely, this is the theology of a five-year old.

Others tend to go by what Peter Tosh wrote in a song Bob Marley made famous, "Get Up, Stand Up," regarding heaven not being a place one hopes to vacation at after death. As my late atheist friend Rubin "Hurricane" Carter noted, it is actually the recognition that we are experiencing the miracle of life on this living planet Earth in the eternal Now.
