Can Dogs Go to Heaven?

There is bit of heavenliness in all dogs unlike humans.

I believe all dogs go to heaven by default unlike humans who need screening, especially our politicians with or without cash.

Can Dogs Go to Heaven?

The pontiff came and went but the question whether dogs could go to heaven, remains unanswered.
One must not blame the pontiff since he came during our election campaign.
I think one has to follow my simple solution.

Convert them to Hindu or Buddhist before their demise.

Can Dogs Go to Heaven?

They are the only ones that can be trusted in heaven, if they happen to be from Ceylon.

The answer to that question is very simple.
But there is a caveat.
If the dog is Hindu or Buddhist by descent there is no problem.
Most of them go to heaven (if the master is not a Ceylon politicians with ministerial posts who deal with heroin, Kassipu or other major vices, they go to hell with them) by default, especially if it is a Paraya (stray) dog.
But if the dog is Catholic, it has to wait till the present pontiff re-defines humanely the plight of dogs according to the scriptures and interpretations made by his predecessors.
But, I have a suggestion for the pontiff who visits us next year.
There is an easy solution without going into scriptures.
Please make all Catholic dogs of Ceylon blessed and converted to Buddhist or Hindu at the time of their demise.
There is no harm they remain as Catholic, in their active life.
After all Catholics in Ceylon need them for their security with B.B.B (until Bodu Bala Sena is proscribed) in action like a pack of rabid dogs.
What remains to be done for the dogs of Muslim descent of Ceylon is a difficult preposition.
They cannot be converted to any other religion at the time of their demise.

It is sacrilegious!

I have a plausible strategy.
These dogs must be made a permanent member of one of the many branches (not Shea or Sunni sectors) of their political parties before their death.
Then at the time of the demise, there should be an affidavit to the effect that they switched allegiance to the ruling party.

By this subtle method blasphemy can be politically avoided and the religion can be safely bypassed (after all they are animals they need not have a religion).

After all, dead dogs are only valid to the ruling party for propaganda.

They are mortally scared of the living dogs, anyway.

That is why they unleash violence while preaching Avihinsa (non violence).

But if the dog belongs to an atheist, the owner should go to a psychologist and get his advice before writing his Will.

The question is why does an atheist needs a dog, if he or she is not fearing hell or heaven?

Perhaps, she / he may be fearing another atheist from another planet.

Or is he or she fearing all the religious guys and girls on this planet.

Sir, Bertram Russell had to flee from England to China in 1930s.

He feared England (Church) more than Hell and Heaven.

When he was in coma (down with double pneumonia) an obituary was published but he recovered to the displeasure of the saints.

He lived to 97 or 99 with no help from any religion.

That was amazing!

This is the debate they are having at present.
Can animals go to heaven?

Some people all over the world have been excited in recent days about reports by news agencies worldwide -- including one from CNN -- declaring that Pope Francis apparently believes they can.

It turns out it's unclear what he believes about this.

A previous pope, Paul VI, had no doubts. "One day we will again see our animals in the eternity of Christ," Paul once told a boy grieving the loss of his pet.

That quote, from the pontiff who reigned from 1963 until his death in 1978, was inaccurately attributed to Francis.

The confusion may have begun when Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera referred to Paul's quote in a story that carried the headline, "The pope and animals: 'Heaven is open to all creatures.'"

The story itself does not indicate Francis said that.

Instead, it refers back to Paul VI.

The writer for the newspaper pointed to something Francis actually did say: "Sacred Scripture teaches us that the fulfillment of this marvelous plan cannot but involve everything that surrounds us and came from the heart and mind of God."

That remark, the writer suggested, "widened the hope of salvation" to animals and all of creation.

The headline on the article quoted Francis as saying, "Heaven is open to all creatures.

" But there's no sign Francis said that.

A search through the current Pope's writings and remarks showed no immediate sign that he has taken a clear position on the question.
