Every Christmas my Mum and Dad would buy a little poinsettia in a pot to have as our table decoration and I loved those beautiful red and green plants. They never survived much past Christmas but they always brought a smile to our faces.

TO be fair (and I am not een remotely a Christian myself) I have a feeling that the lack there is not so much in Christianity itself as in its inability to overcome the worst in anyone who takes on a religion in name only without actually trying to learn what it's teaching in any but the most superficial way.

On the other hand, it's always seemed a bit greedy to me to ask for Heaven when you've already been given this world; I kind of think the popularity of the whole concept came about because of its appeal to people who were limited to the stale crusts adn worst manure-shoveling jobs in this world, and seized on by others as a way to keep those people from rebelling.

If Heaven turned out to be this world but without the need to spend days at work not of your choosing and without the inevitability of losing the ones you love, I wouldn't complain.
