To Whom It May Concern:
You have accepted a lie. Heaven, no matter how described in the various holy books and religious teachings throughout history, has always remained a fixture in human thought. What comes next? Where are we? Is there hope for a reward for the good, punishment for the wicked; or at a minimum, exclusion for the unworthy?
Heaven's gates have always been restricted to a priveleged few, and possession of those keys have been handed down among these same few. All knowledge of Heaven comes second hand at best. In other words, hearsay. Faith in hearsay.
Descriptions of Heaven, in art and in litany, give the faithful something substantive to attach their belief to.
Outer Space, like Heaven, is another area that is believed to hold answers to man's biggest questions: where are we? where did we come from, and where are we going?
And the experts who offer us access to Outer Space are no different than the priests who promise not only ACCESS to Heaven, but the DIRE NEED to get there. We MUST be saved from Sin just as we MUST be saved from Climate Chaos.
Both scenarios involve insecurity in the "here and now," with total security in the "hereafter." Or Heaven. Or Outer Space.
Who benefits from a lie about having access to Paradise? The liars, obviously. They SELL us the VISION. The Heavens, the paradises, and the Space Utopias are VISIONS which we accept as necessary or inevitable.
