"Going to Heaven" Isn't Really A Thing
While salvation includes questions about what happens after death, "going to heaven" is not the primary focus of the story told throughout the Bible.

Western Christianity, MAGAnites in particular, are likely to be sorely disappointed that they were more concerned about where they were going than where they are now and what they are doing now.
;; It's a short video, with a Transcript, and if you are not a theist, you will know more than most of them in this country know in a few minute.
But if you are, you won't be able to claim you didn't know... so perhaps you should shouldn't FAFO.

Think where you will be 100 years from now or 1000 years from now or 10,000 years or 100,000 years or a million or a billion
You were nothing 100 years ago or a 1000 years ago or 10,000 or a 100,000 or a million or a billion
You're just not that important
And your book is just a fairy tale for morons
A billion years from now or even 10,000 it will be nothing

@#5 ... You were nothing 100 years ago ...
Based upon our current view of human life i.e., where the physical body and the life that inhabits it are one and the same.
But, is that a correct view, or a view limited by what we do not yet understand?

Any other belief is a belief based on nothing
My conclusion has the benefit of being fact based and logical and not childish

Glad to have your OPINION yet again, once more. Anyone who disagrees with it is a moron, though?
That's pretty silly, really.
I even give you Jung and South Park as examples of varying opinions. They don't think you're a moron, though. Prolly not, anyway.

Nothing? Or what cannot be explained by our current knowledge?
Stated differently, if you were to transport back into the 1700's with a current smartphone... Would the existence of that smartphone be based upon a denial that it could not possibly exist, or that the knowledge was not yet present for it to exist?

That could still happen! Just here, not there. You are already where Heaven will be.
Ok, maybe not in red states right away; that may take time.

Bullshit. He blasphemes at 1:50 and again at 5:30.
The message here is "As above, so below". That's the oldest trick in Satan's book.

Is religion little more than people trying to understand that which they do not yet understand?

You don't know what you mean any more than we do. What you call blasphemy, scholars call the best translation and interpretation by prolly the best modern NT scholar.
Anyway, here's a song for you:

ck out the link at #3 on Jung's take on God as the numinous of the psyche; the only thing that can overcome the ego.

Wow, I seem to agree with Jung on this topic.
Who would have thought.

He was one of my favorites in my major subject courses in college; a step up on Freud, much more interesting than the Behaviouralists.
Of course, I liked Carlos Castaneda, too, but we were trippin' back then. So was he!

So, why had the Vatican apparently been hiding evidence?
Vatican Apostolic Archive en.wikipedia.org
... The Vatican Apostolic Archive (Latin: Archivum Apostolicum Vaticanum; Italian: Archivio Apostolico Vaticano), formerly known as the Vatican Secret Archive (Latin: Archivum Secretum Vaticanum; Italian: Archivio Segreto Vaticano),[2][3] is the central repository in the Vatican City of all acts promulgated by the Holy See. The Pope, as the sovereign of Vatican City, owns the material held in the archive until his death or resignation, with ownership passing to his successor. The archive also contains state papers, correspondence, account books,[4] and many other documents that the church has accumulated over the centuries. Pope Paul V separated the Secret Archive from the Vatican Library, where scholars had some very limited access, and the archive remained closed altogether to outsiders until the late 19th century, when Pope Leo XIII opened the archive to researchers, more than a thousand of whom now examine some of its documents each year.[5] "Secret" name The use of the word secret in the former title, "Vatican Secret Archive", does not denote the modern meaning of confidentiality. A fuller and perhaps better translation of the archive's former Latin name may be the "private Vatican Apostolic archive", indicating that its holdings are the pope's personal property, not those of any particular department of the Roman Curia or the Holy See. ...
