thought of the day 2009 07 13 - heaven is crowded

If heaven has all the souls of every good person through the history of humanity, I have to imagine it's either completely fucking empty or really really crowded. I suppose you can rule out all the lawyers but if God really does forgive sins then that's a lot of people in one place. Billions, trillions even through the course of history. Even if you're just counting the post-B.C. years, that's a lot of souls to all be hanging around in the same place. Aside from the air pollution, walking around in heaven has got to be like taking a stroll in downtown Beijing with all the crowds milling about.
