Is Heaven a metaphor for the womb, childhood?
Nostalgia for the good old days being exploited by religion
Childhood(or even the womb, but we don't remember any of it) was a wonderful time for us - Fed, protected, sheltered, cared for
Our Parents cried in private but made sure we were happy
"Mommy lost her Job? Don't worry, She will find another one soon. You go play"
"Daddy is in the hospital? Don't worry, it is nothing, He will be back soon. You go play"
And kept in a bubble safe from the horrors of the world
.
When I think of Heaven i see the same thing - a being who will nicely feed, protect, shelter and care for us
No one mentions any work being done in Heaven, no one even asks!
We will be kept in a bubble, away from facing the horrors of the real world
That was what George Bailey of "It's a wonderful Life" fame thought to do
An escape from this horrible world and all its problems
But what about his family? Life was bad enough but now without their husband/father and the sole breadwinner of the family?
Things will get far worse! They will become homeless, the barely educated wife struggling to put food on the table
Children going to bed hungry - now homeless, at risk of predators
.
But I guess we become innocent children once more but this time never grow up?
Certainly that would make Heaven, a pure Heaven, for certainly children are pure
Does this make sense? I cant' see it but maybe someone can explain this to me
