this reminds me of how many people want what the rich have, and so they get it in heaven. no aging, great body, probably beautiful. The Jehovah's Witnesses have a different take on it. They can't wait until God destroys everyone but them, and then they can move into the mansions, and they won't grow old either, nor will they get sick, et. a utopia.

does it interest me? not, it isn't even possible.

Well, actually, I suspect the Easter Bunny, or the tooth fairy, is a bit more believeable.

Um...[Chris Tucker voice]Weh all de black folks at?[/Chris Tucker voice]

That thing was eerie. Why? Would you believe that while that stuff sounds like something from southern America I, who grew up miles away from "the south" in the Caribbean, actually grew up listening that nonsense in EXACTLY that style? Back in the 60s and 70s before many of the Caribbean islands developed their own television and radio stations, Southern Gospel music and preaching blared over our airwaves indoctrinating us with these fairy tales for decades.

All those people in white robes looks like one of those Texas cults

Sadly, people on this very site have posted that they actually believe Jesus is using his carpentry skills and building a big mansion cul-de-sac in the sky - literally. Like, not a hint of metaphor.

I had no idea literalism was being abused that much. Where is this supreme subdivision? Who knows. Our mythology can't say above the clouds anymore since we've been above the clouds and have pushed pretty far into space, so I don't know where their mythology points now.

This is sad and scary, preying upon people's lust for gluttony and youth.

That was the stupidest damn thing I've ever seen but it was worth it for the laugh. I especially liked the part with the singing hobbit.
