"as I pointed out before , it was often that one finds the Dolphin pictured on the wall of the early christian catacombs , from myths & beliefs the Greeks and Romans had of them being the carriers of souls to the "other shore "." Yes, I had forgotten about that. spiral.org.uk Milton, too, referred to the belief that dolphins could "waft" one to heaven. "Look homeward Angel now, and melt with ruth. And, O ye Dolphins, waft the haples youth." --John Milton "but ask any christian or Jew what heaven is like , and they become stumped in a hurry . The truth is they know very little about what heaven is all about , only the vaguest of ideas" We tackled this issue a couple of years ago on this thread. You are right. What we fear is far more universal than what we admit to desiring! The desert dwellers of Islam admitted to wanting virgins, fresh water, and fruit. Where do you go from there!?
