Ready for Heaven?

[Bravus]

You do know there will be people there who are not just like you, right?

Story is told of a man, with morals but not a religious sort of man, who died and found himself at the pearly gates...St. Peter welcomed the man and asked a few questions, to which the man answered in a humble but friendly way. St. Peter thought the man safe in heaven and let him in and showed him around....

"Over here," he said, "we have many Christian groups like the baptists." There was a very large group gathered together singing 'hosanna, and prais to our King'..."And", said St. Peter, "you might be able to tell the where the Nazerines and, on the other side, the Church of Christ" folk kinda intermingle with them....

As he was being shown around, the man noticed several other groups of people..St Peter told him of the many different groups there were, for example there were Confusion, Tao-ists, Hindus, muslims, several different african religions..even once agnostics, and once Atheists here in heaven...The man was rather confused and spoke about it saying, I thought heaven was for one religion, and I thought that it was Christianity. "Oh, that", said St Peter. We found that there were too many friendlies who where redirected here that we removed that requirement...

When they reached a corner of the great city, the man noticed a small group of people who were, it appeared, kicking one another..but upon reflection decided that they were actually kicking themselves...

the man asked who these self-flagulating people were and St Peter mentioned that 'these are the Adventists. Once they got here and realized that they were truely saved by grace, they realized just how much fun in life they missed out on."
