2. He dwelleth in the bosom of Abraham
Unfortunately, that's a felony in Virginia.

But the guns are OK.

I don't believe in heaven or hell.....
I believe the soul has many earthly life experiences and must keep at it until they have achieved Nirvana.

Jerry has to go back and try again.O8) He failed this attempt....

9. No but I hope the shock is overwhelming for him
I'd pay for a ticket to witness his life review.

Boy, if they have an audience for that sort of thing, they'd have to rent a pretty large stadium.

(think: "Defending Your Life")

14. There is no Hell, but this is what I believe.
Edited on Tue May-15-07 01:37 PM by Cleita
If our spirit continues after death, I believe we do have to account for everything that we have done in our lives especially meeting face to face with everyone we have wronged and feel the pain we inflicted on them. We spend time in that spiritual dimension learning about why we were wrong. After awhile we are reborn into a life that helps us redeem ourselves for the previous life. Falwell will probably come back as a gay man in a fundamentalist society that persecutes gays.

I don't really believe in that stuff. I'm more of the "he will come back as a cockroach" type.

29. Actually, Shrub was born 14 months after Hitler died.
And given GWB's fondness for Germanic phrases like "Homeland Security" (translated "Geheime Staatspolizei" or "Gestapo") and heavy handed authoritarianism, my vote is that GWB is Hitler reincarnated.

32. Funny you should mention this.
When I first found DU someone had put a thread up about this. The DUer actually put it together because she had a dream about it.

:wow:

Well if Hitler was supposed to live this life as GWB to atone for his last life, he's doing a crappy job of it. Or it could be he's a lost soul that will keep recycling as a bad guy until the end of time.

Much of it harmonized with my own views.

30. If anything exists beyond death, it's a complete unknown
The only justice to be found is earthly, but the world is a little brighter, a little lighter, a little less hateful today than it was yesterday.

34. Wrong and impossible
but one should look at potent quotes of Jesus concerning "do not judge" which applies to everyone, hypocrisy, the unforgivable sin, claiming to see though morally blind(therefore the sin remains by their own judgment), the strict teachings on forgiveness and compassion, the strictures about Church leaders doing any of the above in particular. Harshly, vividly clear and nearly the only exception Jesus made regarding mercy, namely those who deny it to others and deify their judgment- and who so abuse their positions of authority in the faith community.

It would be wise not to step too closely to the pit whether you believe in a metaphysical hell or not.

He's most likely on the fifth or sixth layer of the Nine Hells. Knowing him, though, he probably had some dark powers. He might come back as a zombie, a wraith, or perhaps a lich. /nerd :evilgrin:
