on a side note, what always bothered me about the afterlife is, who gets to go?

Of course the animals dont get to go to heaven, at least according to Christianity. Simply because of the fact that man commonly believes animals to be too stupid to comprehend religion, or anything else for that matter. If animals cannot comprehend religion, then they cannot be saved.

Personally, I dont believe in heaven or hell. I choose to realize that these things were created by man for man. Heaven is Christianities way of rewarding you for being brain washed, and hell is their punishment for allowing yourself to think and do for yourself.

Religion is the true evil of the world. It is what drives most wars. It is what is behind many murders. Religion is the worst thing man has ever invented. If it wasnt for religion, and oil, America wouldnt have taken over Iraq. If it wasnt for religion, Osama wouldnt have had his men fly fully loaded planes into the world trade center and the pentagon.
