I am a fan of wikipedia - I must admit to that right now. I love looking at random articles, and often find myself sucked into following links on pages. However, I ran across this and just stopped. I mean STOPPED. I have never heard of this religious concept, and thought it very thought provoking:
The concept of humans directly entering heaven without dying is a feature of multiple religions and mythic traditions, including the three main Abrahamic religions – Judaism, Christianity, Islam. Since death is generally considered the normal end to an individual's life on earth, entering heaven without dying first is considered exceptional and usually a sign of God's special recognition of the individual's piety.
Ok - you enter heaven without dying. Then what? You come back, tell people about it and get locked in a loony bin for life? Or do you sit in silence knowing the answers to some of the great questions of life after death? Seriously - are there no better options?
