Jesus -- the most cynical excuse on the planet

Ever notice how people do evil and then ask you if you are "saved" by Jesus?

It's a thing.  A person can be a totally selfish person, and still be welcome in heaven, because on the  deathbed or sooner... they accepted "my lord jesus christ".

I'm sorry, I don't think it works like that.

“There is no conclusive evidence of life after death, but there is no evidence of any sort against it. Soon enough you will know, so why fret about it?”
― Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love

I posit that if there is a G*d, then he/she isn't likely to take that as an excuse.

But they think so.

Burn in eternal damnation fools.  You fucked up this life, that's going to count.  Religious pundits notwithstanding, there is no such thing...


"Gospodin," he said presently, "you used an odd word earlier--odd to me, I mean..."
"Oh, 'tanstaafl.' Means ~There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.' And isn't," I added, pointing to a FREE LUNCH sign across room, "or these drinks would cost half as much. Was reminding her that anything free costs twice as much in long run or turns out worthless."

"An interesting philosophy."

"Not philosophy, fact. One way or other, what you get, you pay for."

― Robert A. Heinlein, The moon is a harsh mistress.

And I'm a jew, btw.
