On her side.  Not exactly on his.

Yeah That's true

Maybe got himself a mink lined casket, though.  A ride to the cemetary in a luxury hearse.  Likely as not he was as happy as he's going to get.

   i am always amazed that when people die,  most everyones reaction is that it is either tragic,  or somehow shortchanged.  that would be true if there is no afterlife.  and especially true if what i and others think happens,  doesn't.

 but IF  it does,  it is the supreme promotion.  surpassing the experience that any lottery win could ever provide here.

so then the onus falls on the ones left here to finish out their time on what can become (depending on perspective), a somewhat less than perfect world shall we say.

looking forward to the promotion.  but living it up as if it is years away. 

 no drinking funny kool-aid and hopping on the next hale bop comet that swings by for meeeeeeeeeeeeee.  i am far too busy being high on life.

when i win and if i dropped dead the next day,  don't cry for me evita.  it will make for an absolute wonderful story/tribute to my life.

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaANDAwwwhhhooooooooooooooooooo

I felt so funny when I, an outsider in this God talk, noticed the way that people just took a piece of God they like and think that is what God is about, and further use that in their conveniences.

I don't think crop understands us.

Well, now I turned myself in.  

Anyway, just chat for fun. I don't think anyone will change his mind.

I don't see any person dying, including me, as tragic.  On the other hand, I see it rendering the ownership of a winning lottery ticket as hmmmmm dead neutral in the scheme of things.

Whatever a person believes, or doesn't believe about an afterlife, there's probably universal agreement that death brings a change in perspective.  If there's not any afterlife the change involves a vanishing act in perspective.  If there is, we all have our own views on what it's about.

But I'll bet we'll all agree the dead guy wasn't overjoyed about the specific matter of winning the lottery.

There'd be a lot less tossing around of God talk and praising if folks didn't think giving him his marching orders (reference their own convenience and gain), could succeed in manipulating and cajoling him into running things as they wish them to be run.  Usually involving new houses, red pickup trucks, diamond rings, etc.

Jack

  yup.  can't use God (for anything),  but especially just to make you rich.  that would be a no no.

  some peoples goal is to turn him into their personal concierge...
