No Heaven 2 Go 2

What would you do if you died only to learn that you had no where to go to? Picture it. No Heaven, no Hell, not even a Purgatory. Simply you & a figure staring at each other.

The Figure: “How may I help you?”

You: “Can you point me to Heaven please?”

Figure: “Sorry, no return trips allowed.”

You: “Return? What are you talking about?!”

Figure: “You just got off the express from Heaven.

You: “That’s impossible. I was on Earth and died.

Figure: “Some call it Earth, others call it Heaven. I have even heard many refer to it as Hell. In the end it all turns out to be the same. Life is what you make it as the saying goes. C’est la Vie!”

You: “I did everything in the Bible inspired by God. You’re the Devil trying to trick me. Hell, Heaven and Earth are nothing alike.”

Figure: “Heaven is what you make it. Are you sure you’ve done everything right?”

You: “I demand to see God or Jesus or even St. Peter! Is there a waiting room? Purgatory? Where’s that, I heard that’s where souls go while awaiting judgment. I demand a second opinion. “

Figure: “Waiting room? That was your train ride over here. Obviously you’re upset. Let me get you to one of our counselors.”

You: “Counselors? No get me Jesus!

Figure: (laughs) Some call Him Jesus, some call him Joe. He likes the name Bob the most. Unfortunately He was your conductor and will not return until the next scheduled arrival. Many have difficulties when they realize they were in Heaven all along. So many are disappointed to learn that all they had to do was open their eyes and be thankful for all they had. Enjoying life and others should be Heaven enough. Too many are “living for Heaven” and not the “joy of living”. Yes, there are many that would call this “blasphemy” and could be living delusions that this would never happen to them. Then again many simply fear the unknown and unanswered questions. So caught up with seeking answers that they fail to realize that all answers lead back to the same questions.”

You: “Are you saying there’s no God?”

Figure: “Whatever you seek will always be around you. Through Free Will you are given the choice to believe in what you want.”

You: “So what do I do now?”

Figure: “That would seem to be the question. A counselor will be with you shortly. Take a number and step to the side. Thank you and have a pleasant existence.”
