Do you think Gerald Ford will go to Heaven? Poppy just said he would.

[chimpymustgo]

Kissinger speaking now. This funeral alone is enough to keep him out IMO. The BFEE, Cheney, Condi, Gonzales. Yuck, time for a shower.

[originalpckelly]

1. Not unless Heaven is a bar in hell.

:P

[originalpckelly]

36. That is Hell, Michigan:

2. I hate questions like this

If I believed in heaven or hell, I'd hope that I'd have enough goddamn humility to not speculate on who gets sent where.

[chimpymustgo]

3. Cali, I don't know if I even believe in Heaven and Hell. I lean toward thinking

you live it here on Earth. But when I heard Poppy say that in his eulogy, it made me think about it for the first time. And then Henry Kissinger got up to speak! Just made me wonder what others might think.

[novalib]

9. WHY IN THE HELL ARE YOU WATCHING THAT TRAVESTY???!!!

Just curious -- what ON EARTH possesses you to watch or listen to that travesty going on in the National Cathedral???!!!

Almost ANYTHING would be better than listening to a bunch of NAZIs eulogize a SLIMEBALL like Ford!!!!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

5. If I believed in Heaven and Hell...

I couldn't imagine what the point of either of them would be if someone like Ford got into Heaven.

[cali]

14. Sorry, you don't know enough about

the human heart or soul to make the judgement that Ford should be in hell. No human does. And that's why humility about such things is desirable.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

4. It depends on Ford

I see heaven as a state of being that is achieved by an individual by dissolving the veils between themselves and The One.

[specimenfred1984]

6. Must be the truth then

Cons never lie to God, except when they think or talk.

[novalib]

7. HELL NO!!!!!

Ford in Heaven???!!!

Ford IN HEAVEN???!!!!

HELL NO HE WON'T GO (to Heaven, that is!!)

ANYONE who pardonned a piece of slime like that LIAR and DESTROYER Richard Nixon MUST go to HELL!!!

In fact, I once yelled "GO TO HELL" at Ford when he was President!!!

I'm GLAD I did it, and I HOPE he is THERE NOW!!!!!

[cali]

12. I never wish people in hell.

Put aside for a moment that I don't believe in hell. There's something I find really stomach churning about people who as judgemental as you are.

[novalib]

15. Aren't You The SPECIAL ONE???!!

My, My!

Aren't you the SPECIAL ONE.

You say you find judgemental (sic) people churning.

I find SANCTIMONIOUS people DOUBLY churning!!!!

[cali]

16. What's with the generous use of

caps? It hardly impresses.

[novalib]

17. PASSION!!

I do NOT use caps to IMPRESS!!!

In fact, I don't do ANYTHING to impress!

I do it as a means of expressing my intense PASSION!!

[mondo joe]

20. People who use all caps don't go to heaven.

Some things are not forgiveable.

[novalib]

21. People Who Tell Others

People who say things like "People who use all caps don't go to heaven" DON'T GO TO HEAVEN, either!!!!!

I don't know of a SINGLE PERSON here who uses ALL CAPS!!

So why in the HELL would you post such a ridiculous post!???

It makes NO SENSE at all!

And it is VERY JUDGMENTAL besides!

[mondo joe]

22. Like I care - I don't believe in heaven.

[novalib]

23. NO -- Like I CARE!!!

I believe in NIRVANA!!!!

Is NOTHING Sacred???!!!!

Yes YES IT IS!!!

[mondo joe]

24. No, nothing is sacred.

And if anything is sacred, it is appropriate use of all caps on message boards.

No Nirvana for you.

[novalib]

26. YES! (Can't You Read??!!)

Like I said:

YES. It (Nothing) is Sacred.

Nothing = Sacred.

NOTHING = SACRED!!!

NOTHING IS SACRED!

Who here uses ALL CAPS on message boards!!???

Stop being a Nirvana Nazi, please!!

[mondo joe]

29. No Nirvana For You.

Access denied.

[novalib]

30. NOTHING!

NOTHING can stop me from gaining Nirvana!!

Nothing -- and ONLY NOTHING -- can stop me from gaining Nirvana!!!

Are YOU nothing??!!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

31. Is there anything anybody here can do to help you to gain it?

Like soon?

[novalib]

37. NOTHING Can HELP Me!

Since NOTHING is sacred, then NOTHING Can Help me.

I pray to NOTHING.

I appreciate your offer to find me someone to help me find Nirvana, but I'm afraid there's really NOTHING I can do about it.

[mondo joe]

34. You prevent yourself.

"Within passion, Nirvana is achieved."

[cali]

25. Heh. I'm with Yeats

As my tagline says: "The worst are filled with passionate intensity."

[novalib]

28. So SPECIAL!!

You are just TOO TOO SPECIAL!!!

I wish I were like YOU!!

19. Isn't heaven all about pardoning sin?

I don't believe in any heaven.

But isn't forgiveness the principle?

[Rosemary2205]

8. I'm certainly not qualified to judge.

When it comes to the sum total of someone's value as human being, and their eternal reward or punishment, I'll leave that up to the almighty.

[BurtWorm]

10. I think he'll rot in the earth.

Just like everyone else.

[Parche]

11. Heaven

So God is supposed to 'Pardon' Ford?

[leftofthedial]

13. ain't no heaven

but if there was, no repukes would be allowed

[Capn Amerika]

18. That is how you know their brand of Christianity is bullshit.

I saw a clergyman at Ford's first funeral say the same thing. Isn't that 'contempt of the lord' or some such other biblical law?

[pitohui]

27. poppy don't decide who goes to heaven

i'm sure he'll see ford again one day in the inner circles of hell

[Kerrytravelers]

32. Well, it Poppy said it, it must be true!

:rofl:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

33. FIRST, it would be NICE if SOMEBODY would just

BURY THE POOR APPOINTED LUNK!

They're taking him on another plane ride?!

BURY THE POOR DEAD BODY!

[Beelzebud]

35. I don't believe in heaven. Santa doesn't live at the north pole either.

[Bridget Burke]

38. According to Hunter S Thompson, Ford didn't think so

I'm always glad for a chance to post this classic piece:

Richard Nixon is gone now and I am poorer for it. He was the real thing--a political monster straight out of Grendel and a very dangerous enemy. He could shake your hand and stab you in the back at the same time. He lied to his friends and betrayed the trust of his family. Not even Gerald Ford, the unhappy ex-president who pardoned Nixon and kept him out of prison, was immune to the evil fallout. Ford, who believes strongly in Heaven and Hell, has told more than one of his celebrity golf partners that "I know I will go to hell, because I pardoned Richard Nixon."

39. He might go to hell

if he does, he'll probably tumble down the stairs on his way in.
