Now, "Heaven" and "Hell" can be described as collections
of like-minded people, right? Two examples...
#1. O.K. - one one hand, we have the guy who has a heart
attack while enjoying his porn, and they find his body
with his pants down, with his "so-and-so" still in his rigor-mortised
fist, and a teen scat website still up on his computer screen. (To give
the most sordid example I could come up with..!)
#2. A block away, a Salvation Army officer has died, whose entire
"raisson de etre" was working in grimy soup kitchens, ladling out stew to bums...
She never took a day off from work, was 30 pounds underweight due
to self-neglect (too busy thinking about OTHERS!) and died a virgin
to boot.
Now, I'm sure that case #1 HELLBOUND, right?
But wait a minute...
Why would he be denied his
kinky pleasures in the next world?
Why would he go to a place where he was DENIED his life's
passion...
While the Salvation Army officer would get to INDULGE hers?
To most people, the pervert liked NASTY things! His afterlife
destination (among other perverts!) would be HELL for most
folks... (unless you'd be happy in a world full of scat-fetish
pervs, that is.)
But would it be "Hell" for our hero?
Conversely, the Salvation Army officer represents what many
of us would want themselves to be. But would most of us REALLY
enjoy what she naturally enjoyed, when you think about it? Given
the choice of volunteering (without pay!) to break your back all day
ladling out soup to ornery, mentally-ill (and perhaps dangerous, or disease-carrying) derelicts, OR going to a football or baseball game with lots of hot dogs with mustard and ice-cold beer...
I'm guessing most of you would take the second option. (I know I would!)
Would "Heaven" then, be "Hell" to most normal humans? Quite
possibly..!
B-man
LOL That is funny, I like how you improvised on my topic!!
BTW I've read through most of this board's discussion from page 1 to 97!! I like your topics and your writtings!! Especially, the one about hell where you have a wild imagination, that would put shame to Clive Barker!! LOL I know what you mean though, when I was young like really young I'd watch so many horror movies!! Now, I just hope those monsters and demons aren't locked in my subconscious mind!! Because if, I die in fear of those things and hell I will be stuck in a sure hell hole!!!
Well, good thing we can change all of that by thinking good angelic thoughts and what not about our afterlife!!!
Also, I be the porn addicts hell to some would be a heaven to him for sure!! LOL
