    Funny. Jesus may be the Lord of Creation, but apparently has a ...[text shortened]... OOMA videos. I'm sure you'll get the warm fuzzies after ingesting some of Rob's confection.
    Wow, that's creepy. Makes it sound like Jesus is a pervert, and we are his handmade sex dolls.

    If when I die, I find myself standing before Yahweh, I will make a motion to grant me a time extension to prepare my case.

    That's not an appropriate analogy, I'm afraid, since the parent isn't telling the child "if you don't come over to the fireside, you will freeze forever and ever and ever in the cold that I created especially for those who disobey".

    Have you checked out Rob Bell's devotionals on YouTube yet?

    Be prepared to quote Talmud; the rabbis have probably thought of every possible case (and, according to tradition, have won a few). Better yet, see if you can find a rabbi to act as your advocate.

    Might take awhile, though: According to A.J. Heschel’s version, Avraham is “still standing there”, waiting for justice on behalf of the doomed of Sodom...

    No it's more a case of "here I am , the fire is over here if you want it , come and keep warm with me , if you don't then you will get cold , and getting cold is not very nice at all so I am going to warn you about it and keep telling you about the warm fire"

    And how would your new life be?

    Well, if there is an afterlife, and heaven, and all that, I just hope Isaac Newton and is fellows have overthrown all Gods. Newton knows I love Him. He would get a sweet spot for me.
