Christianity QA

Question:

- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – alt.atheism; You Christians believe these guys go to heaven if they’ve repented and accepted Jesus, don’t you?  What is the crime rate there?  Wouldn’t it be about the same as here in the realm of the living?  If Heaven is a big mansion or city of God, are there slums and high crime areas?  Gang violence?  What makes this place so desirable? if i remember my dogma correctly, repentance only counts if you’re sincerely sorry and plan to avoid ever committing that sin again. so if ted bundy truly repented, nobody in heaven would have to worry that he’d kill them. and even if someone who’s not-so-pure-of-heart could get through the pearly gates, i don’t think that god (remember, if we assume heaven, we also have to assume god) would have much trouble keeping the offender in line. ( chuckling ) Why make such an assumption?  "He" certainly can’t keep his followers in line much less keep his priests’s hands off of children.  What reason is there to think ‘heaven’ would be any different? Keep in mind "God" couldn’t handle primitive chariots on a level plain because they were made of iron. "God" scrambled the languages when a ‘critical’ message was enroute and after almost TWO MILLENNIA *still* hasn’t figured out there’s a problem. With the track record dismal failure after failure after failure illustrated in the Bible the christian ‘god’ makes the "Inspector Clouseau" look like "Sherlock Holmes." The christian god’s only omni attribute is that of incompetance. As a matter of fact the ‘heaven’ routines smack of military ‘tiger teams’, nasty stuff with "go gettem" names….. /quote But some recent research on the temperature of Hell yields surprising results:     "The temperature of Heaven can be rather accurately computed. Our authority is Isaiah 30:26:    "Moreover, the light of the Moon shall be as the light of the Sun and the light of the Sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days." Thus Heaven receives from the Moon as much radiation as we do from the Sun, and in addition 7 x 7 (49) times as much as the Earth does from the Sun, or 50 times in all. The light we receive from the Moon is one 1/10,000 of the light we receive from the Sun, so we can ignore that. The radiation falling on Heaven will heat it to the point where the heat lost by radiation is just equal to the heat received by radiation, i.e., Heaven loses 50 times as much heat as the Earth by radiation. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann law for radiation, (H/E)^4 = 50, where E is the absolute temperature of the earth (-300
