Did She Really Just Say, "You Lost A Son Once, Too"

And does Mel Gibson know about this song?

No idea the title or the artist, but a mom is pleading with God to spare her daughter because she is too young to cross the street by herself and some drunk-ass bum who has had too much of the Holy Wine that the aformentioned son has conjured from Heavenly Water might run over her on the streets (paved with gold–what kind of braking distances would one need on streets “MADE OF SOLID GOOOLLLLDDDDD?”) of Heaven.

Sorry, I’m sure this is a touching song to some folks, but it brings to mind so many thoughts other than the plight of a dying child.

Christian dogma says we’ll all get mansions in heaven. This song implies we’ll get cars! I just know in Heaven I’ll be living in a tar-papered shotgun shack, driving a friggin’ Yugo.

Are there stop lights, crosswalks, etc. on the streets of Heaven?

Is there a speed limit in Heaven?

Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven? Oops, wrong insipid song.

Really, it creeps me out. Let’s say you totally believe in God, Jesus, etc. Do you want to be sitting there in the hospital throwing the death of Jesus in God’s face? Ain’t gonna win you no points, lady!

Creepy song.

So, comment on this, or make this thread a “Thoughts That Go Through Your Mind When Hearing Insipid Songs That The Songwriter Surely Never Intended,” or something.

Creepy fucking song!

What’s wrong with tears in heaven as a song? You should give the guy a break, seeing as it was written for his dead child. Now as for people who write songs about a loss just to create something “touching”, I think that it’s beyond creepy.

I suppose it was a cheap shot on my behalf, but I dislike the Clapton song, anyway. Also, perhaps the “Streets of Heaven” song was based on a real loss as well. It’s still a weird fucking song.

Like your hanle. E plebnista, etc, etc., right?

“handle” not hanle. Sorry.

Yep:), thanks. Not many people know where it’s from.

So… why aren’t you in the Trek threads?

A Christina friend of mine seemed to be under the impression that when he got to Heaven he’d be able to physically fly around the universe.

I believe his Pastor actually told him this would be so. I can’t figure out where they got that notion from or why they were so sure of it.

Anyway, that doesn’t answer any of the OP’s queries, I just thought I’d say it.
