Free Gifts
Thursday, July 3rd, 2008We have both the Christians and the Discordian’s (one of whom gave me the link) the thank for this little piece of comedy gold.
It got me thinking about the whole “get out of hell free” card thing, don’t worry, I’m not about to join the choir…
It’s just that this one time I won a “free” holiday to Italy.
Now Italy has the highest quantity of Popes per-capita in the world (christian popes, not Discordian ones. The country with the most Discordian popes is China) which makes it basically second only to Heaven, so they’re fairly similar things.
But when I looked into my “free” holiday, I soon found out that the food, drink, return flight, bedding etc were all charged as extra, and on top of this I would be pestered daily to buy products I didn’t want, with money I really needed for bedding, by the company that had stranded me there…
So in the end I chose not to go.
Now they SAY Jesus will get you into heaven free-of-charge, no matter what your previous credit rating is… sounds too good to be true right?
But try to remember folks, when it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
What I’m trying to say is this: Sure, Jesus might get you a free trip to heaven, but you [i]know[/i], in your heart of hearts, that you’re going to have to sit through a timeshares pitch for the rest of eternity when you get there.
