Hello again, brothers and sisters. So, I was chatting with my ma the other day, and she said that Heaven is a crowded place where everything is noisy, bright and joyous, and where all people do ALL DAY is praise God. Now, I feel kind of awful saying this, but church is really boring to me, and, the way Heaven is described, dying would mean... church FOREVER.
I mean, God is the best guy I know, and he is well deserving of all the praise he gets, and that's not why Heaven sounds so horrible to me. For one, I hate crowds, which Heaven supposedly has a lot of. Two, praising God FOREVER sounds like it'd get boring pretty fast. And three, since I'd be stuck in the middle of a giant crowd singing praises FOREVER, I'd lose all sense of who I am, and how I differ in my relationship with God from anyone else there. It just sounds so horrible to me!
At this point, Heaven essentially sounds like... just a less miserable alternative to Hell. I mean, it sounds like just another, more decadent way to while away an afterlife. Lame. Would anyone like to explain to me why I'm wrong? Because I have a feeling that I am, or at least that I've recieved a false image of PERFECTION.
