Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 14, 2021

Eat Your Heart Out Peter Pan!

Whatever floats your boat

Remember when you could (male) write your name in the snow? Climb a ladder with a load on your shoulder then walk across a sloping roof? Remember why you came into this room? Scratch the middle of your back with either hand? Jump off a 6 foot wall without spraining something? Run for 15 minutes?

Well, kids can…

“Most people can’t stand to sit in church for an hour on Sundays. How are they supposed to live somewhere very similar for eternity?” —Mark Twain (1835-1910), nom de plume of Samuel L. Clemens, American writer and humorist

Heaven is whatever you imagine it to be.

I believe in reincarnation. People leave heaven because they get bored

I can’t wait to get to heaven and throw my halo at people.

When I was young(ish) my friends would talk about getting “dizzy at the Issy” (Islington House, no longer there). I would go the the park and play on the swings. Got dizzy at zero expense with zero hangover. Never could hold my liquor.

So THAT’S what’s hidden in those happy little clouds that Bob Ross painted.

Makes at least as much sense as most people’s idea of heaven.

“One of these days I’m gonna climb that mountain,

Walk up there amongst the clouds,

Where the cotton’s high, and the corn’s a growin’,

And there ain’t no fields to plow . . ."

- Walter Brennan “Old Rivers”

Heaven where people go for eternal enjoyment sounds rather dull and selfish to me. My idea of heaven is a place to be creative and where we can help those needing help, or better yet, help protect people.

That’s EXACTLY what I expected, except with more slides so no waiting.

So this is what is meant in Matthew 18:3 (NIV) “And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” ;D

Is there a ball pit? I was told there would be a ball pit.

I believe heaven (eternal life in heaven) is so much more and better than we can even imagine.

Fun! Meeting all my peeps and fur babies is where it’s at.

Jim and Tammy Baker were right after all.

It´s what ever your imagination wants it to be, with the stress on “your”.

Were are the dogs and cats?

And a cancelled NBC series would suggest what Hell is like. https://is.gd/ZPYTKB

I’ve always thought that “Heaven” is different for everyone, since it’s just a continuation of whatever you enjoyed the most on Earth. An eternity of clouds, harps, and angels with wings would get REALLY BORING after a Millennium or two…

1 Corinthians 2:9

I’ll take this.

Or a really big HabitTrail.

Yeah. I always hoped Heaven would be more fun than just sitting around listening to angels sing. Don’t get me wrong a good chorus beats the heck out of hell, but still.

Forget about eternity for a minute and think about what you’ll do for the first 10 years

As my sister constantly reminds me:

Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional.

We do not stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing.

No this is Iowa.

Whatever it is, it’s supposed to be eternal. Joy!

Alvin Lee: ♪ “If I don’t get to heaven, and I go down there below, better be a guitar when I get there, or I will refuse to go.” ♪

Fishing, there’s gotta be fishing.

I wouldn’t like that at all! I hate to get wet!!!

One man’s heaven can be another man’s hell. Imagine someone showing their vacation movies and slides to someone forever .

Recall that moment when you fall asleep and everything turns black and time ceases to exist. That’s “heaven”.

Heaven would be Earth after everyone else got Ascended. :)

Matthew 19:14 says, “Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’” So it’s no surprise that heaven would be like this! :-)

HEAVEN IS HOTTER THAN HELL

The temperature of heaven can be rather accurately computed. Our authority is the Bible, Isaiah 30:26 reads,Moreover, the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold as the light of seven days.Thus, heaven receives from the moon as much radiation as the earth does from the sun, and in addition seven times seven (forty nine) times as much as the earth does from the sun, or fifty times in all. The light we receive from the moon is one ten-thousandth of the light we receive from the sun, so we can ignore that. With these data we can compute the temperature of heaven: The radiation falling on heaven will heat it to the point where the heat lost by radiation is just equal to the heat received by radiation. In other words, heaven loses fifty times as much heat as the earth by radiation. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann fourth power law for radiation(H/E)4 = 50where E is the absolute temperature of the earth, 300°K (273+27). This gives H the absolute temperature of heaven, as 798° absolute (525°C).

The exact temperature of hell cannot be computed but it must be less than 444.6°C, the temperature at which brimstone or sulfur changes from a liquid to a gas. Revelations 21:8: But the fearful and unbelieving… shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone." A lake of molten brimstone [sulfur] means that its temperature must be at or below the boiling point, which is 444.6°C. (Above that point, it would be a vapor, not a lake.)

We have then, temperature of heaven, 525°C. Temperature of hell, less than 445°C. Therefore heaven is hotter than hell.

Since I don’t believe in believing, there is no heaven or hell

When it comes to heaven, I use the analogy of flight pay.

I used to be an Air Force pilot and while some parts of the job are glamorous, there are a lot of downsides: you are constantly in training and under the gun being evaluated, there are frequent family separations, working days can exceed 24 hours, they send you to places like Korea where you freeze you butt off in the winter and the Philippines where you sweat it off any time of year. They send you to places where people don’t like you and shoot at you.

And for all this, there is some extra money in the paycheck at the end of the month. The extra $$$ does not cover the B.S.

The reason pilots fly is because the love to fly.

If you are a Christian for the sole purpose of dying and going to heaven, you have it all wrong. The only reason one should be a Christian is that you love being a Christian.

I like the whoop-de-do in the slide. ;-)

Now if heaven isn’t like this I’m going to be disappointed.

is the phone a homage to Susan? She did take her grandfathers place for a while

Apparently a great place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to stay there forever.

Hope there are pony rides!

Long as my friends and my pets are there….

That’s not the only thing that is drastically different from what we were told to expect.

Just wait until the true nature of the Rapture is finally revealed.

So heaven is a Fisher Price affiliate? :D
