Inhalt
What does it take to get into heaven? Having the right kind of sex? This book examines the celestial admissions policies of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The 20th century transformed standards remarkably. After nearly 2000 years of division, for example, the Roman Catholic Church admitted Jews into heaven in 1964. The Vatican now vigorously encourages Jews to take pride in their faith, even as the Vatican encourages homosexuals to feel ashamed of themselves. Although the Vatican has not explicitly condemned gays and lesbians to hell, the Holy See has led the world to think of hell as the natural resting place for this curiously unpopular group. No matter that gay people may be monogamous and otherwise model Catholics, the sex they have virtually disqualifies them from paradise. And so the way one worships apparently matters less to god than the way one makes love. The diagnosis may not be limited to Roman Catholicism, for today Jewish, Protestant, and Muslim communities also struggle to decide what the next world holds for their sexual dissidents.
