Are you going to heaven?

[AngryAmish]

I suppose this isn't for the non-believers out there but I got to thinking today. I was at the funeral this morning and was debating whether or not I was going to heaven.

I have seen polls that a very high percentage of people who do believe think they are going to heaven. However there are a whole lot of people who lead real bad lives. Nobody wants to think they are doomed -- it is the human condition.

Of the mortal sins I have committed 1. missed Sunday Mass lots of times 2. I have used contraceptives and 3. lust. (I'm Catholic but feel free to use your own church's rules).

So if I get hit by a bus today there is a good chance I am going to hell (if the Church is to be believed).

So, how about you? Where are you going to go?

1. Dunno. But it's easier to guess who isn't.

As I recall, the phrase "See you in hell" is very popular.

Not that I'm saying that to anybody... it's not up for me to judge.

It's still a fun line to hear, however.

2. I don't believe in the traditional concepts of heaven and hell.

I believe there is an after-life, and the individual has a choice in whether or not s/he acknowledges it.

3. Yep.

...Can I pick you up something while I'm there? :D

[StopTheMorans]

4. will there be sex and alcohol there? if no, then no; if so, then why not?

[flowomo]

15. "I was driving to heaven, but the devil hijacked me"

now there's a country song!

6. Not according to my born again inlaws..

me and my husband are damned to hell because 1. we both have kids out of wedlock 2. lived with each other and not married 3. had premartial sex and 4. we dont go to church

Probably more reasons in there but oh well.. my mil asked my hubby "will i see you in heaven?" and he said "i dunno' and she replied with "no i wont!!"

like wowowowowowoow

9. Of course....practicing that good old Christian teaching of judging ones

neighbor. :hi:

[purr]

11. Tell me about it!!

If she'd say it to me I'd ask her about the one commandment about judging others (I think its a commandment oops :) ) and is she REALLY that sure she's going.

:hi:

8. I'll be in Heaven and I'll put in a good word for you if I get

there first! ;)

[AngryAmish]

12. I appreciate it

But it is not looking too good right now.

[MsAnthropy]

13. Don't want to if all the people who think they're going are there

[MrScorpio]

14. I've already been there, several times over the years

And I was sure to take a few ladies with me!

16. "Hell must be a pretty nice place....

...cause they're trying to keep everybody out." - Capone

what was that other famous quote?

"Heaven for the weather, Hell for the company."

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

17. Yeah, but I won't be staying long.

The beat-down I'm going to put on god is indescribable.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

18. If the FReeps are going there, then I'd rather burn in Hell.

Heaven 'twould be boring, anyway.

And who the hell says there's a heaven and hell? We die and we all move on; I don't think the "good" will go one place while the "bad" go another.

It's not like we should be bothered about it. I'll be dead by then; what will I care?

:evilgrin:

[Midlodemocrat]

19. Yes. I am going up like a rocket.

In fact, when I go, people will stop, stare at the sky and ask "Is that the space shuttle?" and it will be me.

20. I hope so.
