I'm not convinced at all by any form of religion.
Having said that, if there is indeed an afterlife and people are up there looking down, then that loud laughing noise you all hear is my Dad watching my attempts to 'plaster' a small (2") hole in my ceiling. The collateral damage is now about 24" x 24".
The hole is now sealed up to the point where nobody can come through the ceiling and nick my 50" plasma tv and take it back the same way without touching the sides.
Plus I don't recall my Dad standing on a ladder with sandpaper smoothing it off.
