Heaven: A wonderful place of perfect bliss and unimaginable joy. A city often said to be paved with pure gold and filled with many mansions. A place that is believed to to redefine pleasure and supersede even the wildest imagination of the most unrealistic optimist. Often upheld to be the final reward for "good" works done on earth, heaven is believed to be attainable by different people and for very different reasons.
A certain group of people believe they will end up in heaven just by adhering to the laws of planet earth. They just live with not much of an opinion and try to stay out of the way. Another large group of people derive their doctrine from a very similar source. They believe in one supreme and superior God but have managed to create irreconcilable differences as to how exactly this God operates. All the groups, subgroups and sub-subgroups under the one God movement also believe they are going to heaven. Another group derive their doctrines from similar sources and believe that noble and decent practices will place you on a superior level of consciousness of which after all has been said and done you will ultimately "return to the creator" (heaven).
Now is it just me or is it looking like there are going to be a whole lot of people in heaven. The question then becomes who exactly is not going to heaven ? Almost no one. The categories above almost cover every demographic therefore everyone on earth is simply going to pack up their bags and move to heaven someday. Will heaven not just become a replica of earth ?
It is either one group amongst the groups going to heaven is right or all the groups are simply wrong because the heaven i will want to end up in must hold non of the characteristics of this crazy world. If everyone on planet earth is actually moving to heaven at some point, if all the people dead in the past and going to die in the future are all going to the same place, If Malcolm X and Martin Luther King are heading to the the same destination as David Duke and Nathan Bedford Forrest, If Christopher Columbus and queen Anacaona currently dwell in the same place, If George Bush and Rush Limbaugh are heading to the same place as Osama Bin Laden and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to recreate all this craziness ... if that place is called heaven ... Then just give me "hell"
