heaven & hell... I can't marry a shishkabob, but I am going to marry someone who doesn't want to become one

heaven & hell...

history's most effective incentive-based reward system...

think of the chaos that would ensue if we learned, for a fact, that neither existed...

think of how many people today, right now, DON'T do things for fear of spending eternity burning in hell...

if they knew they were not doomed to a fiery bath should they commit, say, murder, or adultery, would they commit?

if they knew they were not going to spend forever skipping through rolling green hills, barefoot, hand-in-hand with Jesus, would they pray, give, donate, remain honest, do right?

do you trust mankind to maintain order in the event its primary reason for keeping such is revealed a lie? 

I sure as FUCK don't...

anyway, I've been a tad skeptical about church-goers in modern times... most scare me to death....

but now, after witnessing the evil capable by the opposite sex for, well, over 10 years now, relative to truthfulness, faithfulness, severe rationalization, behavior polarities, and basic overall justification of catastrophic emotional impact on partner, etc., I think I am only going to put a ring on a finger connected to a body trembling with fear in response to imagining what will happen to her, for eternity, if she were to commit adultery, or "cheat" on me during our marriage together...

who says Satan can't be a pal? he's arguably responsible for keeping a majority of marriages monogamous... 

(it's all about perspective... happy Thursday!)
