If Heaven were real...

If Heaven was real, just think of all the famous people you could go visit? Of course, some of them don't speak your language, but may there is "Angel-ese" spoken in heaven so everyone can understand each other.  Maybe you don't have to speak at all... it's just telepathy? It'd be nice to sit down for a chat with Newton or Michelangelo or any of the Egyptians. Yes, I think the Egyptians would be there because everyone before Jesus's coming would have been allowed into heaven. Do you sleep in heaven? Eat? Poop and pee? Are there long lines at the ladies bathroom? So much to consider?

Human Rationalization Keeps the Bible Alive

I have tried to figure out why people who appear reasonable 6 days a week, suddenly become unreasonable and gullible on Sunday morning. I can only attribute this to the ability of the human mind to rationalize those things that seem irrational. Here are some examples.

Biblical Age of Earth 6 to 10 Thousand years - Although modern science has disproved this beyond a doubt, many religious people have managed reconcile the difference. They say that the timescale was not the same. In the bible, a day may be hundreds of thousands of years. And a year could be millions! After all, God works in mysterious ways.

Noah's flood covered the earth and all the mountains -  Current scientific calculations have proven that there is not enough water on the earth to produce the effect mentioned in the KJ Bible. That idea is totally ludicrous. So, Biblical devotees say that it was only the known world at that time that was included. Even so, the "mountains" that were covered were probably just hills.
Science does not negate the occurrence of a massive flood.  There have been numerous occasions of massive flood in the early years of the Middle East. Some occurred at the end of the Ice Age as massive amounts of ice was melting and sea levels were rising.

Noah took sample of all the Animals on Earth onto his little ark -  If we actually count all the different species of animals on the earth and try to take 2 of each and put them on a ship, then the Titanic would not have been big enough. Some Biblical followers suggest that the Ark was just a floating gateway to a much larger magical, spiritual region where the actual animals were kept.
They weren't kept in the physical form but in a special form created by God. Yes, this is a very mysterious way to work!

These are just a few examples. There are many, many more.

God's Intelligence

Hmmmm. Okay. So, God is so smart that he set up one small area in the Middle East (about the size of New Jersey) as the most important place on earth for three different major religions - Judaism, Islam and Christianity. They all share bits, pieces and modifications of the same sacred texts and supposedly worship the "God of Abraham". All three religions see this as the "Holiest" land on earth and all want to control this "Paradise".  So much so, that they are willing to kill everyone else to get it. 
God, in his omniscience, did not foresee the misery, suffering and pain that such a move would make? Yup, real intelligence at work there. Maybe God was bored and figured, "Hey, I think I'll do this and then watch them sort it out. Should be lots of fun to watch!"
