Getting into heaven, that's what

you might have an interesting view on this
I've always wondered right, if Lucifer got booted out of heaven for rebelling etc. why would he set up shop and punish everyone who didn't do what God wanted.

Seems to me like he'd be out to reward them.

Oh Kurt Vonnegut.
paraphrasing "The Devil gave Adam and Eve the apple, and inside the apple was sex and jazz and liquor, and the Devil smiled, and told them to enjoy it"

I'll find the proper quote at some point, it's great
His Devil is female too.

because there are some very interesting theological views
including my favourite- the fortunate fall, which as an extrapolation includes that the devil had to fall to have his place in things

confusing business
have you read I, Lucifer?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 10:40, Reply)

Felix culpa
the idea that from misfortune comes good, and that the fall from Eden was necessary in order to achieve full being

I haven't read I, Lucifer, is it good?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 10:43, Reply)

I'm trying to remember whether that is mentioned in I, Lucifer.
I really enjoyed it. You'll tear through it. The writing style is kind of like someone is telling the story to you really fast and kind of twitchily.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 10:47, Reply)

if it is mentioned
it'll be in a different sense since felix culpa has it as part of God's plan.

What is it about?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 10:49, Reply)

God offers Lucifer another chance
he says that if Lucifer lives as a human for the rest of the human's life and behaves himself he'll be allowed back. Lucifer gets a month's free trial. The body he occupies is a failing writer and Lucifer sets about writing a screenplay etc. for a film about creation and his fall.

well you have to tell me the ending now :P

( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 10:52, Reply)

nope
Read it. It's worth a go. Some of the concepts are quite interesting, and the story is amusing.

I'll read it
if I can get hold of a copy :)

I could possibly send you one (if I haven't lent it to someone)
when are you back in civilisation?

no
strikes me as pointless

We found a prayer card when my nana Maggie died, it was with all her photos
It was a prayer to the Virgin Mary to find a girl a husband.
On the back of this prayer was a list of all the things a Catholic wife should be.
We got to the end and my grandad pipes up "Who'd marry HER? She sounds fucking boring!"
