While discussing the imminent climate disaster with my elderly parents, they said they don't care because they won't live long enough to see it.
I asked, "What about your kids and grandkids?"
They asked, "Do you believe in God?"
I said, "No."
They said, "If you Believe in God, then you'll get to go to Heaven when you die."
I don't believe in God, so I won't be going to Heaven (which I also don't believe in), but if I did believe in God and Heaven, and expected to go there, why the hell should I and my children have to live through a post-apocalyptic shitshow before we die?
For the record, from what the church they made me go to taught me about God and Heaven, they should probably not expect to make the cut either. The God I was taught about was pretty anti-fascist. Kind of a socialist really.
"Do you believe in god?"
No. That's for old fools with nothing to lose, and a full belly.
