If you are poor, then you are never going to heaven. It’s as simple as that.
It might be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to stroll into heaven – but, at least, the possibility is open. It might be somewhat difficult for a wealthy gentleman to attain paradise – but, at least, it is achievable. In contrast, an impoverished man has no chance whatsoever of getting into heaven. A penniless man cannot afford the cover-charge to kingdom come. A lowly man will never reach on-high. The meek might inherit the earth, but they aren’t getting near the celestial realm.
The pattern you set in this life will continue after your death. If you are worthless on this planet, then you are going to be just as worthless in the world to come. If you have no value in this existence, then you will never have any value after your passing. Unless you have achieved something of note on earth, then you will not attain anything in the great beyond. If you don’t live in luxury in this world, you sure as shit aren’t going to live in luxury in the otherworldly realm. Deadbeats are about as welcome after death as they are in your country club.
If things are hopeless now, things will be just as hopeless tomorrow (well, maybe with a bit more hardship in your case). If you are suffering now, then you will be suffering for all eternity (perhaps with a little extra sorrow in your case). The pain continues beyond the grave. If you are tormented now, then you will be tortured ever after.

If you are tormented now, then you will be tortured ever after.
The anguish is never going to end. If you are unloved now, you will be unloved forever. If you are disheartened now, then that despondency is going to remain with you for all time. There is nothing that can be done to alter your nature. If you are hurting now, then you are going to be harmed forever – because you damn well deserve it. If God wanted you to experience bliss in the afterlife, then you would be enjoying your existence right now. If God had destined unimaginable luxury for you in the great beyond, then you would have a foretaste of that lifestyle right now. If you are going through hell in the here and now – then you will only be going to hell after your death.
Money may not buy happiness – but it sure as shit will buy salvation. There is a reason why St. Peter is guarding the pearly gates – he is waiting for you to slip some folded currency into his hand the same that way you get past a doorman at an exclusive nightclub. There is a reason why the ancient Greeks buried a person with a couple gold coins – you need to pay your bills in the afterlife just as you cover your expenses in the big city. You don’t get a free lunch in this world – or the next. The Holy Ghost has no use for freeloaders.
Sure, you may think the reason why I am making this claim that a human being must be wealthy in order to get into heaven is only because I, myself, have access to phenomenal riches. Quite the opposite, my friend. I am as poor as you are – the only difference is that I am willing to accept that I am destined and directed to go to hell. I acknowledge that God has it in for me.
And if you are some filthy atheist who imagines that suicide will allow you to escape this earthly pain and slip into nothingness – boy, are you in for a surprise. Just as you deserved every mishap in life, so you deserve continued misfortune after death. You are destined to get beat down – and there is no avoiding a beating in this world or in the beyond.
If you are unlucky in this life – then you will continue to be unlucky after death. If you can’t make it in this world, then you can’t make it in next. If your guardian angel is not watching out for you on this planet, there won’t be anyone helping you out in the next. If you are not blessed right now – how the fuck can you expect to be blessed in the life to come?
Let’s face it, you failed in life. And if you are worthless in this world, then there certainly isn’t anyone that is going to want you in the world above. If you are fucking useless here and now – then you will be just as useless when you do yourself in. If you have no money, then you have no value whatsoever.
Misanthropy and Misotheism with a strong dash of Calvinism. I like it.
ReplyDeleteNice segment of the Bosch painting. I wonder what those things flying out of the anus of the person being ingested are supposed to be.
ReplyDeleteI love it!

"The pattern you set in this life will continue after your death. If you are worthless on this planet, then you are going to be just as worthless in the world to come. If you have no value in this existence, then you will never have any value after your passing. "
ReplyDeleteYes, "as above so below" is indeed old sacred mythical principal and base af all esoteric knowledge.
In other words, mystical bullshit.
DeleteIndeed, but still better than boring atheism.
Deleteim drunk but whatevs, isnt it good that trump won ! fuck yeah and france and the netherlands are turning to the right. i can be relieved that the lovey dovey are losing in my declining years....oh yeah and the cosmic suffering and so forth
ReplyDeleteThe ultimate pessimism - not only are things shit in this life, but they're just as or even more worse in the next. Very likely true.
ReplyDeleteI have to disagree with you on this one. I think what you wrote was the most heartless, insensitive, and coldhearted thing to write as an author because not everything you're saying is true. If you haven't noticed, you don't need money to commit suicide nor do you need it to kill yourself. Who's to say that those with wealth and luxury will reap the benefits in heaven? How do you know this? Don't you realize that the Zionist Jews call the shots? The ruling elites control the economy and so they know what they are doing. Money is debt and debt is money. I wasn't destined for hell, what you speak of is absurd pessimistic heartlessness. Money is another form of control and so you can't harshly judge someone based on how much they have in their bank account. I like some things that you wrote in the past years but this one is a little stretch too far don't you think?
ReplyDeleteThe very essence of existence is precisely this “heartless, insensitive, and coldhearted thing” that you so dislike. Don’t you think that if life is so “heartless,” then it stands to reason that the afterlife will be just as heartless? If this world is “insensitive,” then the next world will be just as insensitive. If reality is “coldhearted,” then what awaits us in the realm beyond will be just as coldhearted.
DeleteBelieve me, I wish that I could tell you that things would be different after death. If money defines the way that you live right now, then wealth is obviously going to determine your status in the celestial kingdom. If there is mostly suffering on this planet, then there will only be more suffering in the hereafter.
Let us all sincerely hope there is no "afterlife".
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is but who the fuck knows. What a disappointment it would be to finally put a bullet in your head and then wake up somewhere else. Again, I think consciousness is just a particular brain chemistry that becomes obsolete after the body stops functioning, but I can't be certain.
ReplyDeleteThe concept doesnt work for me. If you have no memory of a previous life, what does it matter if there is or isnt an afterlife afterlife afterlife afterlife..
ReplyDeleteI've had the same thoughts about reincarnation. If I am, say, the reincarnation of a certain John Smith, any good or bad I experience are not felt by the late John. They are felt by "me".
Deletereincarnation is silly. you live your life once. maybe there is a form of eternal existence in a cosmos of possibly infinite possibilities as mms says but again each time is like the first time so it doesnt matter. on contemplation its more of a mind bender than a reason to be depressed but hey this is a downer blog so i dont want to raise the mood. i hate optimism.
DeleteYou live then you die. Your body turns to dust. End of story.
