I am watching a southpark episode where Kenny dies and goes to heaven, and it made me think:

Why does everyone reefere to the gates of heaven as "the Pearly gates", then depict them as being gold?

And why have a gate that doesnt even have a fence? Its just a gate. You could walk around the side. Its not like St Peter is Cerebus, he's not going to bite anything off.

And who worked the gate before st peter? Did people just walk in? if so, heaven must be filled with a bunch of saucy cave men...


Another thing, i have thought about this since i saw the movie Ghost. Patrick Swayze died in his thorties, so of course he is a brutally handsome ghost (dont you think?). Now, say, Demi Moore dies at 80. Does she go to heaven an old lady? or does she go as she looked back then?

Does she appear what Swayze thinks is ideal, or does she stay the way she did when she died? Maybe heaven makes him a "Copy" to make him happy, but what if he finds out its a copy, and she is actually old and dead, off messing around with her new husband (or wife, get with the times people)

Yes, this is the kind of crap that keeps me up sometimes.
