Well then, in order to gather that much 'good' souls, it would take so much time we wouldn't have to worry about the End Of Days for another couple of hundred thousand years.

And considering how good someone has to be to go to heaven, if we go by the strictest definition, I would bet that the Sun would turn into a red giant before that would happen.

Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

If heaven is real, and the entry requirements are what the fundies say they are... heaven is empty, and will remain so forever.

Ignorance is preferable to error; and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing, than he who believes what is wrong.

Though Jesus does say if you repent soon enough you'll go to heaven.
So I guess heaven is,

a) Empty.
b) Full of late-hour repentists, which would mean people who repented 1 milisecond before death.

Precisely! Couldn't have said it better myself.

Do you want to vote for satans son or satan's cousin. Take your pick.

The entrance into heaven is simply believing in Jesus, that he came to this planet, died for our sins and went back to the Father.

No one comes to the Father except by Jesus. He paid the ultimate punishment for our rebellion. Had he sinned once, all would be for naught.

There will be a great multitude in heaven, trust me on that on.

And leading a correct life through Jesus and living the way Jesus preached you to, following the commandments and such. It's not that simple, y'know.

I think it starts over every time you are forgiven for trangressing the law.

All Have Sinned and Fall Short of the Glory of God

Romans 3:23

Even Moses sinned, the dust couldn't keep him and God took him to Heaven. He was good enough not to have to stay dead!!!!

I've already have. The question is... have you?
If you don't vote for Satan's Cousin (Kerry) then Satan's Son (Bush) will win by default.
Remember, if you don't want to choose the lesser of two evils, someone else will choose for you.
