Impure

Well hell
   Save a seat for me
   Since I don't believe in God
   I am doomed for eternity

   No amount of good deeds
   Will excuse this pedigree

A great write!! Thoughtful. Good deeds reflect in the same life and so do the bad ones. Here, we call it Karma. I just loved this masterpiece. :)

Thank you Sandra. I think sometimes we are turning our heaven into hell. It breaks my heart. xomo

No amount of good deeds will excuse the non believer, that's for sure. No amount of good deeds will get anyone to Heaven because we can't make it on our own merit. It is strictly stated by Christ Himself. "I Am The Way, The Truth And The Light. NO MAN Cometh Unto The Father Except Through Me." So all it takes is faith in Christ and acceptance of Him as our one and only Savior.\ God Bless, JB

If i go to Hell, I've figured how to get kicked out; steal Satan's praise. Intense!

Maureen, Mark Twain said, "Heaven is for the climate; Hell is for the company." I look forward to having an eternal conversation while sharing endless glasses of wine.

Atheists and agnostics have their own 'heaven' waiting for them. For even non-belief is a belief Maureen:-) Liked this snappy ditty.
