Thats another thing I've always wondered about. What leads us to imagine that, if there were a heaven, anyone gets there by deserving it..or that if anyone does that this is the predominantly successful way of getting in?
That certainly doesn't seem to be the case in this world, and the places where we might want to go or be.
Every once in awhile a certain kind of believer lets that one slip..with the "it aint who you are, it's who you know" quip. When people describe their heaven beliefs they often do so in the context of desert..but a closer inspection seems to lend more credence to the idea that it's about bribing the doorman.
