sheep go to heaven

I went for my "Living with Chemistry" lecture on Friday. The professor described the formation of the first living thing on Earth as there was a field of metal parts and after a storm there was a voila a shiny 747. It does makes you wonder how can living things be formed after millions or billions of years of storms and volcanic eruptions after all the cells are so complicated.

Speaking of which, when I was building my Linux machine, it really felt like I was in this huge field full of car parts and I'm trying my best to assemble a car with a crumbly instruction manual. I've probably connected the wrong car parts together a few times and hence I had to redo a few times. Adding to the misery is the fact that the crumbly piece of paper which is not really up to date, so I got lost in a certain part. Of course you get the bloody satisfaction when the GUI finally works (Though I haven't managed to compile gimp properly).

Ever heard of the song "Sheep go to heaven" by cake? Apparently the Bible is quite clear about that in the Gospel of Matthew. It was said that when Christ returns, he will separate the goats from the sheep and send the sheep up and the goats down. To quote from JR: "Get ready for eternity of lamp chops"

actually what the Bible is saying is that when Christ returns, he will bring the sheep (the righteous/ believers of Christ) to heaven while the goats (the unrighteous and unbelievers) go to hell.

so literally, only the "goats" will be burnt in eternal fire of hell, hence there will only be "goat chop" and not "lamb chops" as "lambs" (or "sheep") go to heaven, by jr's definition.
