My sister took me one sunday, a beautiful sunny day and this bloke droned on about doom and gloom. The next sunday I disappeared very early and very fast.
So the “Road to Hell” is lined with joints serving cold Leinenkugels, freshly roasted peanuts in the shell, double shots of Crown Royal and lots of other goodies?!? No wonder there is a traffic jam….
My first disillusionment with the Christian church came when a Sunday School teacher said that there were no pets or animals in heaven, it was only for people. I thought that sounded terribly boring.
2nd panel. “She”? According to the bible god is male, was married to Ashera (whom he might or might not have shared with Baal, that was before the jewish religion became monotheistic), got a very nasty and very public divorce (where he tried to take everything from his ex-wife), then got a very underage mistress (13 or 14), knocked her up and left her and his unborn child. I don’t know why anybody still claims that god is female.
Most people fail to remember that what “goes to heaven” has NEVER been your corporeal body but your “spirit”, your body, along with all its “glands” that actually control such things as anger, happiness, sadness and sexual desire (hear that Muslims who are hoping for a harem to be there for them in the afterlife!) are left to rot in a box in the ground.
What supposedly “goes to Heaven” is nothing more than pure (Spockian) intellect.
Oh, you might “imagine” all sorts of “things” surrounding your “spirit”, but none of it would be “real” in the accepted sense, and you would have to be aware of the “fakeness” in order to create it in the first place.
Those of us who are condemned to reincarnate, don’t have it much if any better – after the first few thousand lives, even life gets boring!
I gather that few have actually THOUGHT about what their ideas about Heaven would entail, in the long run.
God isn’t a vending machine where you push the right buttons and then He’ll give you stuff. He is the greatest person in existence and is worthy to be praised. Ask yourself this, what is He offering salvation from? Ourselves, our own sinful hearts that hate other people, that is envious, that is never content with the countless blessings God gives us, that constantly redefines His perfect standards, calling things like marriage and faithfulness evil and adultery and theft good. We deserve judgment for how we have treated God, but He is kind and offers to forgive our sins if we turn away from trying to be our own god and trust in Christ. That is a gift He offers freely. You don’t have to perform a religious work or go to church or confess to a man in a box, just believe what God says is true. Then you’ll start to realize that all those things you thought were worth living for were just keeping you from the Author of Life
What makes anyone think that there would be a need to eat in a mythical place ? Myth = something that has no proof of existing. Belief is not proof. See Easter Bunny.

The fountain in heaven dispenses your favorite soda. Drink it once again. Drink it all day long. (With apologies to D. Byrne)

It is truly sad to see blasphemy in its highest form.
Your sad reference is proof of a complete lack of understanding of Christianity, the love of God, and the sacrifice of His son.
You mock what you really don’t understand.
Your choice.
But, God is real, and His Son, Jesus is the only road to forgiveness of sin, mercy, peace, ans eternity.

Dr. Pepper has added Crème Soda flavor to its line and it’s pretty good. Not pretentious at all.
