I gave it a religious slant because we were discussing a religious topic (remember?) so I thought it was appropriate. If you wish, I can use cartoonish titles for my posts. What do you think of this one? BTW, I didn’t know that “Waving” is the name of a defunked Australian rock band.

Everlasting life is life that lasts forever. I’ve never been to heaven, so I can’t tell you what’s its really like, though I suspect you feel content.

How do you know that nobody’s perfect? You just have to use your common sense.

Beats me. But I never said that nobody will ever be in heaven.

Why is life a gift? Again, common sense.

Who said you couldn’t leave heaven? According to legend, Lucifer did.

A guilt offering. I used it as an idiom. It’s an offering for the atonement of sins.

That’s probably open to debate.
