when he shuts the door all those on the outside will never be allowed into his presence We thought that was true too. When I was a kid we had a Siamese cat that figured out how to open closed doors. My mom kept accusing us of letting the cat out (she was an ornery cuss, named "Fang" that picked fights and lost, ending in expensive vet bills for us and unpleasant surgery for her). One day Mom watched as Fang ran across the room and threw itself against the door. While still having some forward momentum, the cat would reach up with its paw and hit the latch, kicking off with its feet, pushing the door open further and landing outside with the door closing smartly behind her. When I get to heaven I know what I'm going to do!! "Here kitty kitty kitty! Want to go outside?" When she rushes the door to get out of heaven, Solon, X and the rest of us sneak in. Slam-dunk and high-five. Thanks Fang!

Go back to where you said we can get closer to God through reading his scriptures because that's certainly a good starting place. An artful dodge of my question. Which scriptures? Koran, Bible, Upanishads, Dhammapada, or Dianetics? You might have one answer, while a different person will have another. If I am to know who to believe, then I must use my flawed judgement which will not get any better until I begin reading these (or those, or those other...) scriptures. Do you have any conscience that you have sinned against God? Which God have I sinned against? How do I know?
