Heaven in Hell

Are you getting tired of adding yet another ribbon to your webpage everytime you discover another one of the government’s many abuses of power? Is your web page cluttered from all the ribbons of causes that you couldn’t live with yourself if you didn’t support? Now you can save time and energy as well as space on your webpage by protesting everything at once!

Once you download this handy animated GIF and put it on your webpage you will forever be up to date on all the latest protests. Do you want to be ready for the protest a decade from now against Microsoft’s buy-out of the US Government? Then use the ribbon - the color of the protest is already there. Do you want to protest the mass cloning of Vanilla Ice which will happen thirty years from now? Then use the ribbon - the color of the protest is already there.

Ironically, the ribbon also contains the color for the protest against the use of animated GIFs. This was an oversight on the part of the designer and it is scheduled to be fixed in the Protest Everything Ribbon v1.0 service pack due out next quarter. Until then, please download the ribbon, put it on your website, and make a link back to this page to let everybody know that you want to protest everything.

Take me to your heart

hiding from the rain and snow
trying to forget but i won’t let go
looking at a crowded street
listening to my own heart beat

so many people all around the world
tell me where do i find someone like you girl

take me to your heart take me to your soul
give me your hand before i’m old
show me what love is - haven’t got a clue
show me that wonders can be true
they say nothing lasts forever
we’re only here today
love is now or never
bring me far away
take me to your heart take me to your soul
give me your hand and hold me
show me what love is - be my guiding star
it’s easy take me to your heart
standing on a mountain high
looking at the moon through a clear blue sky
i should go and see some friends
but they don’t really comprehend
don’t need too much talking without saying anything
all i need is someone who makes me wanna sing

take me to your heart take me to your soul
give me your hand before i’m old
show me what love is - haven’t got a clue
show me that wonders can be true

they say nothing lasts forever
we’re only here today
love is now or never
bring me far away
take me to your heart take me to your soul
give me your hand and hold me
show me what love is - be my guiding star
it’s easy take me to your heart

take me to your heart take me to your soul
give me your hand and hold me
show me what love is - be my guiding star
it’s easy take me to your heart

“Bleach” is my favourite cartoon. It is made in Japan.

Now, I am going to introduce the cartoon to you. The protagonist in the story is IGHIGO. He is a handsome boy with amazing power. Later he meets LUCHIYA, the former lord of death. IGHIGO absorbs all her powers and becomes the new lord of death. The job of lord of death is to send the kind ghost back to the heaven in hell and to kill the evil ghost which likes to eat kind ghost and then make them evil. IGHIGO’s life has been changed, and the adventure begins.

This cartoon has not finished. It is being published one chapter a week. I am desiring for the new chapters.

The pictures below are from “Bleach”.

The language of heaven and hell as well as the doctrines associated with this language have their origin in the great monotheistic religions of the Abrahamic tradition — Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The philosophical issues surrounding these doctrines have much wider significance, however, for every religion promises certain benefits to its adherents, and those benefits require by way of contrast some costs incurred by those who do not receive those benefits. The philosophical issues that arise out of the vivid imagery in western culture concerning heaven and hell arise quite naturally in nearly any religious context, though they are surely more pressing in some. Here the focus will be on the problems arising for the doctrines in the great monotheist traditions, and especially within Christianity, since it is within the latter context that these issues have been primarily discussed and it is the tradition with which western philosophers are the most familiar.

The doctrines of heaven and hell are doctrines concerning the afterlife. Recent theological work that denies existence beyond the grave (e.g., MacQuarrie) has sometimes included metaphorical reference to heaven and hell as aspects of one’s present earthly life, wanting to retain the deep personal significance of our choices involved in talk of heaven and hell without endorsing the substantive metaphysical thesis of life after death. Though there may be a point to such metaphors, the doctrines of heaven and hell involve a commitment to the idea of an afterlife and to an eschatological significance of our present lives beyond the grave.

The doctrines of heaven and hell play an important social function as well. Even atheists have often held that the doctrines ought to be taught, even if false, because of the motivation they provide for good behavior. Here, however, the focus will be on the purely cognitive issues involved in the doctrines: whether they are true or false, and the kinds of arguments used to defend a view on the matter.
