Despite the Church’s past failings, over which I have no control, I can’t imagine why I would want to imagine there’s no Heaven, or even worse, that there’s no God. The thought of it makes me sick, as if someone ripped out my beating heart and screamed in my face, “You have no hope!” without God, there is no purpose for my life, no redemption for my failures, and no hope that there’s anything beyond this existence. The aloneness I feel—that separation from that God The Path of Loneliness—would never be filled if God does not exist (though I imagine I’d feel nothing if the world was truly devoid of God, something I imagine only Jesus felt when He was forsaken by God at the cross). Not only would I be hopeless, I would be truly and awfully alone, despite having a life surrounded by loved ones. My umbilical cord to God would be severed and I would die from lack of nutrition. Oh. My. God. To truly imagine it is horror indeed. - JOHN LENNON
