If you believe in an afterlife where you see all of your relatives who

died before you, what about if the relative was somebody you don't WANT to see? Somebody you disliked or hated? How would that work?

1. If it's the grandfather who ran off on my grandmother

when she had just delivered a baby, then he's getting
a piece of my mind. However I like to think that he
won't be spending eternity where the rest of the family
will.

2. With all those endless singing of praises forever and ever ever and ever....oh and forever?

No interest in going.

6. "...those miserable songs, they're so depressing..."

[alphafemale]

8. I like you.

You're funny.

3. Most Americans' view of afterlife has heaven for those we like and hell for those we don't

I would think most Americans would think people they disliked and hated would be in 'hell'.

4. I always wondered how it would work in Heaven

When A guy (or gal!) gets married has a great marriage and the spouse dies of something. Then the surviving spouse gets remarried.

When all 3 are dead and gone wouldn't that make an eternity of 'being with the ones you love' kinda awkward?

5. Easy, two classes.

If the first one you see is the long lost love who made your life on Earth heaven, you're in heaven, you played your cards right.

If its the abusive asshole who made your life Hell, well, guess what....

:ROFL:

7. Heaven, he/she wouldn't be there. Hell, the only one who showed up ...

9. No problem. They'll all be in Heaven.

12. That was my first thought

My fundie Christian relatives are going to heaven; I'm going to hell with my friends.

10. I certainly would not want to spend eternity

with my mother or my ex-husband who are both now dead.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

11. Not a problem!

Once everyone is in heaven you realize you can love all those people, and they you and everyone is happy! At least I hope this is how it works :O)

13. I'll be hanging out with all my dogs.

People I never liked won't get past them.

[RebelOne]

14. Me too. See you at the Rainbow Bridge. n/t
