It's True, I'm Magic
For talking about Me so much, Sarah Silverman and I aren't really close friends. I wish we were, but she pretty much thinks I was just some human that said some radical things 2,000 years ago but then I died and then some people said they saw Me come back to life but they were just saying that to start a new religion. All in all, that does seem to make more sense than the version I'm more fond of... but it takes some displacement of physics that most are accustomed to when it comes to life and death. Either way, Sarah Silverman is very funny and I love her very much. Here's a quote from her from Jane Magazines website that I found interesting, honest, and sad.
Jane Magazine: What do you think happens when you die?
Sarah Silverman: It would be awesome if there were a heaven, but I'm almost positive there isn't. I think your soul dies and your body decomposes. Heaven is just a survival skill that human beings have to not live their lives terrified of imminent death. But I have no clue. I'm really on the edge of my seat for the answers to this, but I don't know if I'll ever get them.
So, I thought this would be an interesting conversation starter... do you feel that what I said about Heaven is true, or is Heaven just a optimistic way to find the silver lining to one day beomcing worm food? What's your thoughts?

I personally reserve my belief in God and heaven for when I am so mad that there just HAS to be an opportunity to kick God in the balls when I die.
the above sentiment about breaks my heart. wow.
me? i believe in an eternal life and that your soul survives the death of your body. heaven would be eternity spent with god, hell would be separation from god. i'm not too clear on the details.
sometimes i think hell is already in action here on earth--same with heaven, come to think of it. i do wonder if there's any chance to change your status after the death of your body, or whether all options expire.
I believe that God is a Consuming Fire and that when one dies he, or she, must both face and pass through that fire, which subsequently burns clean all iniquity and uncleaness. Whatever is left after the burning moves on up to the prepared mansions above. If, by chance, one spends their earthly life in such a stark refusal of the gracious offerings of God, then there just isn't much left to make its way through said consuming fire, and thus, the separation.
heaven and hell a place on a spectrum of existence that we all will find our selves someday.. Our actions in life, the trail we leave, the impressions and memories that our lives leave all contribute to the the positiin on the spectrum.
When you die, the folks that remember you place your soul into the spectrum. So if you piss everyone off, then you won't be seeing any of them in the afterlife. Or if you do see them, it will not be nice. This is Hell.
On the otherhand, consider the evil historical figures, they might not have such a bad time in Hell. They will be surrounded by those followers that beleived in them during there lives. Thus Hell and Heaven are both realative to how you leave the earth.
