because politics is no fun anymore...we're screwed and that's that.....let's talk about a related subject...since we're all going to die soon.....what Christian religious denomination will send the most people to heaven?

Baptists?
Presbyterians?
Methodists?
Catholics?


discuss...and tell why your partiicular denomination is best and why Jesus loves you the most....

The only thing I can state as an absolute regarding different denominations is that Methodists always let out at 11:55 instead of 12:00 so we can beat those stinking baptists to Golden Corral......

Why us Catholics, of course!
Some demoninations care for you from cradle to grave.
Others from womb to tomb.
We got you covered from erection to resurection.

Mormons will have the most, because we won't let anyone else in. Smile

I vote for the Church of Hell, a denomination of lapsed Catholics who believe we are in it now and will all go to heaven when we die... a heaven filled with all the blessings of the void. Every one of us.

I guess that means I agree with George.

Where do Christians get the idea they're getting in?
They're being overtaken here in terms of population - I suspect there isn't going to be any room in heaven for them.
Isn't Purgatory the in-between places holding tank?
And the believers with the most adherents move on to heaven first of course. And Christianity's losing that race.

So Christians will have to think of somewhere else to go.
Maybe Minneapolis?

Minneapolis in the summer? Or Minneapolis in the winter? Big difference.

SCoates -- I thought Mormons were baptizing posthumously. I'm surprised that wouldn't include a little patch of heaven.

Crud... I didn't realize it was a popularity contest.

I'll wonder if I'll be allowed in if I do their dishes or something. I got a free hamburger at a McDonalds once that way.

I asked my husband about this and he said that I was too mean to ever die, so I guess I don't have to worry about any of that afterlife stuff. I am staying here.

He said that if I do die, he will have "I thought she would never shut up" engraved on a headstone. Actually, he never said any of those things, I made all of that stuff up, mr. glitterbag is a much nicer person than I am. I'm not really technically mean, as in mean spirited, but I do like to yank chains every once in a while.

But back to the original question, which group do you think would be the most fun to spend time with? If I get in, I would like to spend eternity enjoying myself, because it's really not that life is so short, it's that you are dead for such a looooooooog time. So I want to join up with a group that knows how to have a good time. Come to think of it, a lot of Catholics know how to rock, comes from all that time with the nuns in Catholic School.

We Unitarians will send a social action committee to Heaven to make sure gays are treated fairly, to bring sandwiches and good used clothing ( just in case there are some homeless there) and to clean up any littered beaches.

In discussions like this, I'm always reminded of the fella who said, "I don't care whether I go to Heaven or Hell. I know I have friends in both places."

You'd probably not guess from my post that I've been (officially) a U.U. for exactly one week. Rolling Eyes

Nevertheless, I think it is an accurate portrayal. Very Happy

I know you said you'd joined, J. If I were the joining type (I'm not) I might consider them as well. They seem to be so reasonable and all-inclusive. The UU's have got some great websites, too.

'. the gg replied : 'lots of work all day long, hardly any time for a meal, just work, work work !'. 'how come ?' the rascal asked. the gg, breathing heavily and perspiring from the hard work, whispered : 'i'm the ONLY one up there !' . hbg

I thought access was limited to Jehovah Witnesses. At least that's what they told me the last time they came to the door.
