» Brother_Jones - Liberals really aren't very ready for the Heaven experience.

when everyone you knew and loved is dead and buried, there's a strong desire to join them in the afterlife (if you believe in it).

I think a portion of the problem with the Liberal view of heaven is a practical one. Having spent little or no time in prayer, worship, study of scripture, sharing, and fellowship that there is an almost empty headed notion of what purpose heaven might be. It doesn't have much of anything to do with Jesus because most Liberals don't count Him as important enough to spend a year contemplating His message, much less an eternity in His presence. So it comes down to the idea that heaven for Liberals is spending some time with their bridge buddies or bowling pals and that could get a little old. So just going to sleep and never having to worry about stuff becomes the Liberal heaven. I think I have described it pretty well. Maybe.

Have you got any ideas about what you might want out of heaven?

i am just an oldtimer for the Lord.
