All Donkeys Go To Heaven...says Pope Francis
#31
There are a lot of people who don't want to see anyone else in Heaven. They want to think that they have the truth and anyone who doesn't see it exactly that way shouldn't be there in heaven. The idea of openness and forgiveness and accepting everyone is upsetting to them. They are not happy if we all get as much as we need. They want to get as much as they need by taking something away from you. So a heaven where all are there and happy, we see it as a wonderful thing, they see it as a disaster.

I would say our position is based on love, love of God, love of life, love of all living things. The other position is based more on fear. They are afraid of offending God so they have a rigid view that they think protects them from God. They do not love and trust God. They fear death. It is very much a frightened child's view of life. Anything different must be wrong. They can't see that there is room for a wide range of possibilities in life. We all could have chosen very different lives and still have been good people.
What does matter is living your life kindly and compassionately and being a good person. I doubt that the small details really matter. Wars(religious and otherwise) have been fought over small details. That makes us one of the silliest creatures on the planet.

Maybe Heaven is really for the best of earth's creatures(dogs would win that contest) and they are welcoming us in as one of the most mixed up creatures. Just a thought.Smiley4
