I have to say that of all of the heavens that are available I like the on offered by Zoroastrianism the best.
Zoroastrianism is also interesting because, unlike other religions, it claims that everyone will eventually get into heaven, though it might take a while. The righteous soul crosses the bridge and is met by a beautiful maiden who is the physical and feminine embodiment of all his good works on earth. He is then escorted into the House of Song to await the Last Day. On this day, everyone will be purified and live in a new world absent of evil and full of youthful rejoicing.
Wow! Kind of makes you want to go to church doesn't it?
Now my favorite part of this subject is that Christians who read this post will just judge all of the other belief systems as silly and inferior to their own without a hint of irony.
Can't I be met by Sean Connery instead of a beautiful maiden?
ReplyDeleteOf course! It's heaven!
