Mmm... Fucking heaven...
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.'

The special logic is what has to be used to think that there is any good reason to believe that the story is anything other than a story, told to gullible people to keep an ancient meme alive. A meme that has been allowed to grow so big it's just as dangerous as Islam, scientology, mormonism, or any other cult that continues bigotry and the suppression of basic human decency.
But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret is as though it had an underlying truth.

Sex sells. I don't understand why the Christians don't embrace it wholeheartedly. At least the Muslims have the decency to realize that fucking in heaven is desirable.
Reminds me of an old God-Squad schoolfriend who later went into the church and became director of PR for Lichfield Cathedral or something. Whenever anyone exclaimed "fucking hell" for whatever reason, he would come back with the oh-so-witty remark "why would you want to fuck in hell, when you can make love in paradise?"
Yes, he was a bit of a twat like that.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
