Near a billion people in such a compact area stopped caring to be good all at once. Being good didn't matter anymore. The donkey doesn't run without having a carrot dangled in-front of it, just as man isn't good without reward. Of course, some people kept trying. They didn't do it for their ... | 42 | 0 | 69 | 34,777 |
[WP] We all heard it, around the world, in our native tongues: "We're deeply sorry, but heaven is full." | "But why?"
"Many good people have been brought into his arms."
Ethan tousled his hair and bit his lower lip. The pastor smiled somberly.

[WP] We all heard it, around the world, in our native tongues: "We're deeply sorry, but heaven is full." | I had feared it at first, like most. Had no idea how to interpret it. Heaven? Full? What did that mean for the living? That we're condemned to hell? Why would God allow such a thing? *I'm going up there and kicking his ass,* I thought. Wasn't very rational, was it?

[WP] We all heard it, around the world, in our native tongues: "We're deeply sorry, but heaven is full." | God paused for a moment, and with a mighty thunderclap, smacked Himself in the forehead.
"MICHAEL!" he shouted, fuming as the Archangel appeared at his door.
"Yeah, boss?"
"Michael. New commandment. Thou Shalt Not Hit Reply All in Private Conversations."

[WP] We all heard it, around the world, in our native tongues: "We're deeply sorry, but heaven is full." | Of course many were devastated. Maybe even most. To be told by their Lord that they were not welcome in paradise. That all their good works were for naught, their eternal reward snatched away.

[WP] We all heard it, around the world, in our native tongues: "We're deeply sorry, but heaven is full." | The cavalries rode on, from the first light of dawn to the glimmering dusk; in the name of their god they ravaged every uncivilized village, cutting down any soul that rejected the word of their lord and savior. They followed the course of the river and in their wake it ran red.

[WP] We all heard it, around the world, in our native tongues: "We're deeply sorry, but heaven is full." | High above, sitting quietly and unobtrusively in a ship upon the moon, a strange figure pulled away from the microphone.

[WP] We all heard it, around the world, in our native tongues: "We're deeply sorry, but heaven is full." | I was swimming when I died. I dove off a rope swing tied to a tree into the shallow part of the pond and hit my head. I don't remember much after I hit the rock. I know that I looked up briefly and the light danced so beautifully on the surface of the water. That was the last thing I remembered. I was only 17.

If all are now prophets, and they're all damned too, why do the preachers still stand in the streets, proclaiming His glory?

[WP] We all heard it, around the world, in our native tongues: "We're deeply sorry, but heaven is full." | What followed was chaos and anarchy. It was the end of the world. It was armageddon. CNN went into a hissy fit of "knock, knock, knocking, on heaven's door" coverage. Fueling the panic, fueling the shock, fueling the rage, the depression, the uncertainty.

Harry had always believed that Heaven was the ultimate reward. He had sacrificed. He had suffered. He had paid price after price after price hoping and believing in a final reward, a ticket to redemption, a Divine pat on the back for a job well done or a task carried out to satisfaction.
