Is God in a far-away place with his back turned to pain and suffering? All those who dream of going to heaven after death - a place of no more pain or suffering - let us realize that pain and suffering WILL end - for YOU! That last word is important - it doesn't mean that the pain and suffering that stalks this planet of ours has gone away, it is just that you chose not to be a part of it anymore
If you are a volunteer at a dog shelter - well, now that you are gone, does that mean dogs and cats are no more dumped on the roadside? That animal cruelty has gone away? of course not - it just means you have stopped caring, that's all
You could take any other issue that is dear to your heart - whether you are fighting to eradicate a disease or unjust laws or censorship - you are basically saying you are out
This whole business of your loved ones waiting with a big smile on their faces doesn't make any sense - if you still remember your loved ones in heaven then you can't but worry about them. If you have died in an accident and your loved ones have been injured or left heavy debts or you are the sole-breadwinner of the family - worrying about your loved ones mean pain and suffering - and that can't be allowed in Heaven. So, logic says you no longer remember your past life
Where would you find a coward? Underneath the bed. Where would you find a warrior? In the teeth of battle, maybe bleeding to death. Basically, you will find the warrior just where he or she is needed, and the coward where there is no pain or suffering, where it is safe. Where is the need for God in Heaven? People are happy, enjoying themselves, would they miss God if She is not there? of course not. Recall a time when you were enjoying yourself at a party - dancing, drinking, looking deep into the eyes of a loved one - were you thinking of God? of course not.
But let us suppose your loved one is in the hospital battling for her life - do your thoughts turn to God? of course! Is God right there with you in your hour of need? Of course! God is right where She is needed
Where there is God's work being done, there is God! Where is God's work being done? Here, right here! God is right here with us
The problem is that people don't want to be here - they want a Sugar Daddy to take care of them - just hand over the good life - a life of ease and religions are more than happy to keep the Ponzi-promises going. Heaven is for the selfish, the coward - running away from life - as i have written before, running back to the Nest, the womb, lost childhood
Logic clearly shows that the closer one gets to God, the more the pain and suffering. The farther away you get from God, the less pain and suffering - ergo, it is the other guy who is in heaven, God is right here with us
