But I wonder how well they'll cope when they finally reveal that heaven is not a literal place and all the 'eternity' any of us will ever know will have to fit within our finite lifespans? I wonder if any church as a whole will ever make its way from the literal to the allegorical truth of holy doctrines? Obviously American fundies won't.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
