That's awfully thoughtful of god to allow his pets to have pets.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Not for the benefit of the critters at all, but for the benefit of the redeemed.
I have no interest in pets so I am not anticipating any there.
Real fast cars / sportbikes- I have a list and am checking it twice.

Are facts and reality on your list?

I'm not so sure my cats, or any domestic cats should get this free ride. They kill for pleasure and amusement, and toy with their prey for hours and sometimes forget to kill it. That's pretty sinful. Damn, I love cats.

Please stop with the judgement of cats as long as they are saved....

Cats deserve to go to a pleasant afterlife (not calling Heaven with continuous praising of a vain, evil creature pleasant) more than many of the Christians I've encountered.

This Pope has already said Atheists get to go to heaven if they obey their conscience, though a Catholic church spokesman then dismissed this and confirmed that they go to Hell.

This raises all sorts of interesting questions (and by interesting, I mean stupid):

Does a human-killing shark go to heaven, it is only doing what it has evolved to do?

Do I go to Hell and my pet cat go to heaven?

Do mosquitoes go to heaven?

Not as silly as asking it atheists go to heaven.

No thanks, I'll take oblivion.

I know I'm getting into heaven, along with my fellow heathens. Jesus died for our sins. We can do all the sinnin we so love to do, otherwise, why did he die? It's you pompous, hoity-toity types that are gonna burn in holier-than-thou hell. But it's never too late to start sinnin yer nuts off. Don't let Jesus' death be in vain. Unpent! Unpent!
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Constantine waited to convert until his death bed for just that reason. And this is the man that made Christianity the official religion of the Roman empire.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
