    I’m not a religious scholar, but how would a person who committed suicide end up in heaven? Ain’t there something in the bible against that?

    I’m going to be contraversial now, If a child commits suicide because he can’t live with being abused by a priest, does he go to “hell” and the priest go to “heaven”?

    Most theologians today recognize that suicide is a result of mental illness. A just deity could not hold death by mental illness against a person any more than death by cancer or some other disease.

    Heaven wouldn’t have beer or tobacco.

    It’s a CARTOON. Theological implications are really not the point…

    There is no afterlife for the conscious mind. The only afterlife is genetic code being passed along in the bodies of our children. Nonetheless, this is an awesomely funny joke.

    Is this the waiting room before the trains arrive to take people to heaven, hell, the planet Zortsch or some other Shangrila?
    Are the trains puled by steam locomotives or diesel? If they’re electric locomotives is the catenary (overhead power line) powered by wind, solar, hydro, nuclear or coal? If steam, are they fueled by coal, oil or wood?

    The doctrine of several churches , most notably the Roman Catholic, views suicide as a sin, but I find no reference to it in the Bible. Of course, there are MANY things I can’t find in the Bible that the RC regards as sin, things like birth control, not accepting everything the Pope says as 100% true, not viewing…well, you get the idea.

    a “just deity”? Therein lies the problem.

    I don’t believe the cartoon has anything to say about theology but is a comment about psychology, technology, and the general weirdness of people who want to be “wired” and “connected” around the clock. Count me out.

    I think you got it. (Or at least that’s what I got out of it…)
