When Heaven Looks Like Hell

 

 

THEIR IDEA OF “HEAVEN” …. SURE LOOKS LIKE HELL

Go and read the Facebook pages of “FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIANS” sometime.

Pay close attention to their comments. Read their cut-and-pasted Bible verses. See their fawning praise — no, make that their WORSHIP — of Donald Trump and all things MAGA.

You’re also likely to see lots of American flags and boasting about military conquest. One comment I saw by a dedicated Christian proposes turning a nation of 90 million people “into a parking lot.” Another Christian wants us to “turn the sand into glass.”

A parking lot? Sand into glass? Even the Christians can’t agree on how to commit a mass genocide.

But at least one thing seems obvious from reading their stuff — God is apparently “on our side.”

Meanwhile, check out their OUTRAGE towards all of the things we liberals stand for — universal health care, fair taxation, stopping ridiculous wars, a functional immigration system, protecting the environment and animals, and guaranteeing the rights and liberties of ALL people. I know, heresy.

Fundamentalist Christians warn us that we’re damned to hell unless we accept their so-called “prophet” and start behaving ourselves. They claim we won’t “go to heaven,” that is, not unless we follow their peculiarly narrow view of the world. They advise us we have no chance of spending ETERNITY with them if we don’t accept their Jesus and obey.

Yet, when I see their vision of “heaven,” this imagery looks like the very LAST place I would ever want to spend ETERNITY. Harp music 24/7? G-rated movies non-stop? All the good books banned? Drinking and gambling strictly forbidden? Seriously?

Here’s an image (see above) that popped onto my Facebook feed this morning which is supposedly intended to *attract* followers. Notice anything? Oh, and I actually feel kinda’ bad for those kids in the first chariot staring into the ass in the horse for the whole ride.

Have you spent any time around fundamentalist Christians? Have you hung out with them? Have you ever listened to them and hear how they think and what they believe?

The last people on or off this earth I would want to spend eternity with are fundamentalist Christians.

To many of us, that sounds like hell.
