Sing Me A Song, You’re A Singer

A question from a reader:

Dear editor,

Do you believe in god? if so, if you don’t mind please answer me this.  Will Michael Moore go to heaven continuing doing what he’s doing?  If not, what will happen to him?

While I am sure Jim will correct me if I am mistaken, I am fairly certain that neither he nor I are religious in any sense of the word.  I don’t like to use the terms “atheist” or “agnostic” when describing myself, because those are essentially religious terms.  I prefer to simply say that I am not religious.  Jim, if he feels it necessary, can add an update to this post with his own particular views.

As far as Moore goes, let’s assume that there is a God.  As far as I know the only real requirement is that you accept Jesus as your Saviour.  By doing so your sins will be absolved.  Moore has made mention in the past of his religious beliefs—he was an altarboy, if memory serves—and thus he should, technically, end up in heaven.

As godless heathens, Jim and I will end up burning in hell for all eternity.  If Moore is not sincere about his religious convictions, then he’ll burn right next to us.

Update from JimK:

Lee’s about got it perfectly.  Not religious.  Not sure about God, gods or anything else.  I have my suspicions, but I’m not nearly arrogant enough to claim I have an answer.  If Mikey believes in God, bully for him.  I hope it fills a need for him.  I find the whole thing highly unlikely, but hey, you never know.  Maybe there is an old man in the sky who watches me when I pee, and send email to Santa telling him not to bring me anything because I touched it again. ;)

Don’t know and to be frank, I don’t care.  I pretty much live by the right rules anyway, and if He is up there, I’m quite certain I’m not going to be punished for not picking a team.
