I am a Christian. I inhabit a male body which will eventually die but I won’t. I will go to the “afterlife” in heaven. Not all Christians will go to heaven. Nobody who is not a Christian will be there. The population of heaven will apparently have a certain uniformity, something like the population of Salt Lake City or Phoenix. But alas, many of the people in Salt Lake City don’t get to go to heaven. Too bad because I think they do some good things.
All of the rest of the people who have ever lived including all of those who are not a certain kind of Christian—and that means all the people BCE will go to hell—and that’s a lot of people. They must have behaved badly. They and most people since then are guilty of original sin. This sin dates back to Eve who was pretty wicked. This original sin was not discovered until about 300 years after Jesus lived. Not even he knew about it and he was God so human beings must have been self-righteous for a long time. I personally think that self-righteous business and pride is particularly odious to God.
I’m not sure I know what original sin is but I don’t have to. I just accept Jesus Christ as my savior and I’m home free so to speak. Thank God, or Jesus or heaven for that. I have to have faith in what I believe. If I believe in Jesus and heaven then I will go there when I die. I still get a little anxious about ageing and death which I guess shows a little lack of faith on my part. So in a way I guess I’ll be glad when it’s all over. Then I’ll live happily ever after in heaven, which I guess will be fun.
I understand that I will have all of the milk and honey I want which is good because I like both of those things. I don’t think there is any sex there. Sex is “dirty” and I suppose the desire for it dies when my body dies.
Muslims apparently will have a lot of sex in their paradise. They must take their bodies with them. But of course they are wrong because they are going to hell. No sex for you Omar, martyrdom or not! I am right about that because after all I created this story. And its real so there! Phbbbbbblllliiiitt!
P.S. If you are a Muslim I would like to hear your story even if it’s not true. Just out of curiosity.
