Heaven

Alright, lets see if this works. We've got an awful lot of smart asses on this site but I'll give it a try.

Pretend for a moment that when you die, you get to go choose the Heaven you wanted to spend eternity in. Yes, this is make-believe. You'll notice this thread is NOT in the religion forums, so don't make a federal god damn case out of "pretend heaven" --- this is just for fun people, you're not admitting anything about the existence of an actual afterlife.

Now, here's the trick.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words and since nobody here wants to read somebody's fuzzy-happy-fun-time version of their heaven - that's all you get ... ONE PICTURE. Gentleman (and ladies for that matter) nobody wants to see you post the picture of some filthy supermodel. Don't be cliche and go for the obvious joke. What a shock - you like sex. Get over your generic sense of humor and surprise us.


Maybe it's an abstract picture. Maybe it only speaks to you. Maybe your heaven is a Nascar Track or the deck of the Battlestar Galactica. Maybe your heaven is Peewees playhouse. Post something that tells us what you might most delight in ... or perhaps confuse the hell out of us. Just make it legit.

REMEMBER, no hints. You can't write anything about YOUR picture ... but you can write anything you want about everybody elses.

Now you've got the entire world wide web to find a photo that suits you. Give it a try. I will post "my heaven" very shortly because the picture that I thought I had on my computer for the last two years is suddenly gone and I have to see if I can find it.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

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

A simple and understood picture you posted Stimbo. Very nice.



I like yours too FNM... leads people to wonder. A heaven full of "intelligent" animals or maybe just a thing for smoking chimpanzees. Anyone care to speculate?

Thank you, Cinjin, I deeply appreciate the sentiment. For me there was no choice to make; I would have posted the same photo even in that other reality, the one that should have been.

Mary Immaculate, star of the morning
Chosen before the creation began
Chosen to bring for your bridal adorning
Woe to the serpent and rescue to man.

Sinners, we honor your sinless perfection;
Fallen and weak, for your pity we plead;
Grand us the shield of your sovereign protection,
Measure your aid by the depth of our need.

Bend from your throne at the voice of our crying,
Bend to this earth which your footsteps have trod;
Stretch out your arms to us, living and dying,
Mary Immaculate, Mother of God.

Heart
