So there is this event called the Resurrection, in which all humans are restored to immortal bodies. Then comes the judgment.

All plants and animals will be resurrected as well. That includes insects. Since insects have much shorter lifespans than humans, and have lived during a much greater time period, the ratio of insects to humans will probably be about 100,000 times what it is now.

So the telestial kingdom will be literally crawling with resurrected insects, That's why you don't want to go there. Or maybe you don't want to believe in the resurrection.

I don't even want to start on resurrected bacteria. Imagine how many of them there would be.

And dust mites. Christ, the dust mites.

Let's not forget the tapeworms, hookworms, guinea worms, ticks, mosquitos, flies, leeches, cockroaches, kissing bugs, scorpions, wasps, hornets, chiggers, etc, etc....

Don't forget the dinosaurs. That would be really wicked.

My favorite line: "So, According to YOUR story, while we're basking in the light of God, we're CRAMMED TO THE GILLS with parasites."

You're the one who's illiterate.

I wonder if Pol Pot and the Cambodians will be in the same Judgement Waiting Room.

And Hitler and the Jews.

And Stalin and the Ukrainians.

And they will all have baseball bats.....

I just got this picture in my head of training the hordes of afterlife insects to go into formation on command so they could carry me around from place to place.

Clearly I'm not destined to be a world builder.

According to my father, each species will have its own "heaven".

I used to think that was perfectly logical.

Tapeworm heaven...WTF would that look like?

Fools! Don't you know that it will all be worked out in the next life?

Yet another crappy idea that God didn't think entirely true. We'll have to petition Him for more clarification and suggest better ideas.

"didn't think through." I'm not doing well with the ol' keyboard thing today.
