my religion

so if you could know the future, would you want to? or is it better that you just don't know anything?

so i was thinking today that if i were a god and i was going to admit people to heaven, i wouldn't ask that you believed in me or if you did good things. instead i would ask you to have gained forgiveness from everyone you ever hurt and to give forgiveness to everyone who ever hurt you before i'd let you go there. and i would make it well known that this is what you had to do. and if someone died before you got their forgiveness- "oops, sorry about your luck on that. you should have been nice while you had a chance to be nice."

in fact, if i were a god, i'd make it very plain to each and every person that i existed and that this was the deal. none of this having to look for or make up clues or hints and hoping people would find me and believe in me.

and if i was all powerful, the first thing i'd do is "turn-off" my ability to tell people's futures. so if they asked me, i wouldn't be able to tell them when or how they were going to die, so they wouldn't even bother to ask me.

and i wouldn't use a hell as a punishment for not picking to go heaven through this deal- i'd just tell people that "hey, you don't get to go to heaven. sorry. about your luck. the luck you made for yourself."
