Suppose the afterlife is not something external to you, but rather a
continuation of your soul in the world you created for yourself. The guilt
free would seem to have a good afterlife, whereas those possessing guilt may
have problems.

For me there's no guilt as I look forward to an afterlife as the man who
pushes out the washing machines for display on "Queen for a Day".

Amen!

You're right, except for the rightwing nuts who have hijacked the
republican party.
Don't worry, they'll burn in hell!
Um, Jon doesn't believe in Hell, Bob.

Just because a person doesn't believe in it doesn't mean they'll escape
it....they just get a BIG surprise at the end...


There may be some truth to what you say....I don't think it's a
guaranteed thing for anyone...

You could always buy into one of those religions where, if you believe in
Jesus, you go to heaven automatically. If Hitler, in the bunker, accepted
Jesus he goes to heaven. It's an easy "Get Out of Hell Free" card. Make sure
you send in your weekly contribution in the pre addressed envelope! Saves
all the hard work of living a good life and working on personal development.

I am going to create a even better religion, good for me and good for you -
where anyone can buy their way into heaven. It doesn't matter who they are
or what they did, simply write me a big fat check and I guarantee - or your
money back - you will go to heaven.

A big Amen on that one!

I believe that's already been tried...it led to the Protestant
Refpormation and made Marton Luther a household word in Europe....
