The recent passing of the famous movie star Tommy Lee Jones’ daughter tragic death came as a shock to many (I have put some links to news reports below). Reports are that she passed away from drug use. Not sure why she turned to drug use – some do due to an unhappy childhood and life, others to numb pain from injuries. But some turn to it because there is nothing for them to do, to aspire for.
Born into rich, successful families, they are set for life – they know that they will never have to work a day in their lives. Why get an education? We are not going to work anyway! Many do not even finish school! If they were born in business families, then surely, they would need an education to take over their parents’ business, but as an actor’s daughter she had nothing to aspire for. I think she tried out for a few movie parts, was not very successful at it.
Bored, with nothing to do, nothing to inspire them, some like this daughter, fall into bad company. What starts as a recreation, something fun to do, “everyone is doing it”, becomes an addiction that can lead to tragic consequences as this one did.
And that is the problem when something is GIVEN, not EARNED! She was GIVEN this rich, happy life and she did not realize the value of it. That is why in the REAL WORLD, we admire those who find success after much hard work, sacrifice, taking risks – those who EARN their success. We see so many successful people pointing to their trophies and saying, “I earned everyone of them, nothing was GIVEN to me!”
If a sleazy boss promotes his Favored, the one he “likes”, do we admire the promoted or do we look down upon them, disgusted?
And this brings me to Religion – the idea of Heaven being GIVEN to the Few, the Favored! Amazing how so few realize how degrading and shameful it is! I will keep saying it, Religion is by far, the very best at brainwashing even the best of minds! Killing intelligence, morals, ethics!
The cheap claim of Heaven being “perfect” and only perfect people may enter and since we are flawed, we cannot EARN heaven. First, we are human beings, we face life’s difficulties head-on, none of can be perfect, the world that God made for us, makes sure of it. God did not make us perfect beings, he made us Human beings, flaws, and all!
Secondly, amazing that no one asks, so how is religion a better criterion? How does joining a religion put us over the top? It is like a company advertising for the “perfect” candidate for a job and then saying, “we couldn’t find the perfect candidate and so we gave the job to the President’s nephew!” – would that fly?
But amazingly, no one questions this cheap claim of religion pushing their religion as a criterion to get to Heaven – OPENLY using such claims to push conversions.
Again, let us repeat, Religion is the best at killing morals, ethics, intelligence!
And those in Heaven face the same problem as these kids of rich stars – there is nothing to do in Heaven! Ask any theist – what does one DO in Heaven? What WORK? What need does God have for us? What VALUE do we add to Heaven? Are we not just shameless freeloaders?
Can they describe a DAY in Heaven? ONE DAY with DETAILS? Amazingly, they cannot.
And the problem is simple – God, the Almighty can create trillions of robots to do any work that he wants to get done, no need for us. And so, we end up with BILLIONS of people in an idle, lazy, useless, pointless existence shamelessly sponging off God! Ah yes, God’s Grand Plan!
And so, we end up with the result the same as these rich, spoiled movie stars’ kids – with nothing to do she turned to drugs as a recreation. I am sure there are no drugs in Heaven, but the comparison is apt – Heaven is no different from those drug-addicts that you see throwing their life away, living only for their next fix.
We see “Journalists” asking countless times, “Will we see all our DEAD loved ones again in Heaven?”, big smiles on their faces as they drool for the answer which they already know.
Not once have we heard these “Journalists” ask – “How can anyone be happy in Heaven while our LIVING loved ones are suffering on earth? Starving, sick, homeless, shot, in pain in the hospital or by the side of the road, children’s futures destroyed, begging in the streets. My country is at war, millions of my country people are suffering!”
NOT ONCE! NEVER!
Sick of this media that censors such questions that make their religion uncomfortable and if anyone dares ask – people like me – we get censored! I cannot get this question published anywhere!
But BILLIONS of theists do not ask such questions either – they do not care! Amazing how the idea of self-gratification, self-pleasure for eternity seems to blind so many! They do not care that their OWN loved ones are hurting, suffering. All they care about is their OWN self-gratification, self-pleasure, just like drug addicts!
Drug-addicts check out of life – well, so do these “people” bound for Heaven!
And if these “people” think God is waiting to give them their drug fix and keep them in comfort, they are sadly mistaken!
