Given my beliefs if I find myself in front of God after death I think I would be very inclined to exclaim: "Jesus Christ!" "
hehe I was thinking the same thing when I read the OP. I would exclaim: "Jesus Christ! I'm dead already? What the..."
And of course I'd get into heaven having said the magic words eh?

When the cobalt bombs came to my door to do their exploding, the pitch opened with a question. 'If you died and met God today, and God asked you why he should let you into heaven, what would you say?'
I hope you answered him with at least a standard "If you're God then you already know." Or some such. I'd like to hear what your response was.

Welcome to EvC, Calypso. Congrats on a great pen name
Thank you very much for that warm welcome! I sure have enjoyed my time reading and responding to some of the great minds I find on this board. And no that was not sarcasm I assure you. I named myself after the song by John Denver just to let you know in case you were not aware. Not sure if I mentioned that yet in any of my previous posts. I used to lurk a lot more than I would post in my early days here. For some reason that song just spoke to me at around the time I was deciding on a nickname. How did you choose your nickname if I may ask?

Three months ago a similar question was asked by one of our sterner fundies. He didn't ask what you would say, just where God would send you and why. I played the game straight in Message 24.
How about you, Calypso?
My response would simply be that in order for me to know what god would do with me, I would have to be god, which I am of course not. In my belief system, only god would know the answer to that, no one else. Anyone that exclaims they do would fall in to one of a few categories, either deluded, mistaken/confused, lying, or simply joking about taiwan with wider sidewalks. A joke which I might add I enjoyed very much! Well put!
