Only Heaven Exists, Not Limbo, Purgatory & Hell

I suggest that you might reconsider your life. You might reconsider how you want to live your life. You might reconsider the place of religion in your life. You should reconsider the concept of Heaven and your place in it. After that, Go with God.

Just as an idle thought, a questioning if you will. What if Heaven is boring? Like maybe Paradise is boring from its perfection?

Worse, what if we are all existing on Earth as a part of God’s entertainment center? Talk about your reality TV. Maybe God loves sitcoms and we’re all a part of a vast tragic comedy. Are you due for a pratfall? Ah, what a fertile human mind can imagine.

Does God offer salvation? I don’t think so.

You may choose to think what you choose.

I worry about the root of the word: to save, to salvage. Just what is it that God is supposed to care about enough to save? He already has everything. The whole Earth is His. He is going to get everyone’s immaterial souls, because that is the Plan and He needs all of them. So He collects them all. Good, Bad, and indifferent.

Can it be that you believe God is in the salvage business? Salvage, trash collection? I don’t think so. God is not into collecting trash. He collects all the souls that return to Him when we die. Souls are not trash. Souls are a part of God. God is not trash.

God does not waste. Instead, isn’t it obvious that the Earth is a vast recycling center, where nothing is ever lost completely.

In the geologic past, actions by organisms have concentrated minerals in certain locations. Volcanic action can concentrate minerals. Black smoke chimneys venting underwater along the edges of tectonic plates have also concentrated minerals in certain locations. Examples are gold and other metal ore deposits, the Mesabi Mountain Range iron deposits, coal deposits, oil shales, and petroleum concentrations around the world.

Man has thinly re-distributed these minerals in one way or another across continents. Given enough time the organisms and plate tectonics will do their work again. God has plenty of time. God is patient. Similarly, God might recycle your soul.

What about Hell? It doesn’t exist. Hell was made up by Man a long, long time ago. Many religions do not have this concept. Those that do, use the concept as a scare tactic to control their members.

Scare tactics only work so long. The kids smarten up and realize that they’ve been told a lie. This lie works just as well as other scare tactics have with drugs and sex. Do you remember the films on venereal disease in high school, and the film about marijuana?

God wants every soul, fresh, succulent, ripe, well-filled and tasty.

God has no purpose in putting some souls on ice. God does not need to keep them until they might be ready later. And if God is not going to use a freezer for soul storage, He certainly has no need of a gigantic, over-heated BBQ on which to burn the souls coming to Him.

God does not waste. God does not burn souls. Burned souls would give God indigestion. It is possible that the souls you and I might want to call "spoiled", are from God's point of view, flavorful: salty, zesty, laced with pepper, curry, onion, garlic, and other flavors.

What about those who die before God gifts them with a soul? In two words, they die. The end.

They were incapable of directly assisting God in His Plan, but as you see just above, God does not waste. Firstly, the fact that they die does not mean that we humans cannot, or should not, cherish those who die before they are gifted with a soul. Secondly, they are a part of the human experience, part of the human condition. To that extent, thirdly they too, also inform and instruct God.

Those who die before they are gifted with a soul cannot be condemned to some imaginary Limbo, or other kind of Hell. These concepts of Limbo, Purgatory and Hell were invented by Man’s fertile, if compost and manure filled, mind. Such individuals have no soul that logically could go to Limbo, Purgatory, or Hell, even if those places existed. You, with, and from, your experiences and memories of the total circumstances of these early departures from life without souls, will take your knowledge of them to God upon your death.

Remember, God wastes not. God’s Purpose is to learn from imperfections, including His own, in order to achieve Perfection.
