      There is a singular authoritarian dictator. You may not disobey. The punishment for your first infraction is eternal torture.

      But otherwise…yes. Getting to heaven is about winning, and you can’t be a winner without there being losers.

        There’s no biblical reasoning why everyone can’t go to heaven, losers are not mandatory. In fact in Christianity, “Jesus died for your sins,” so supposedly you get a free pass as long as you aren’t a big piece of shit.

        It’s the Jehovah’s witnesses that think there is limited space in heaven, it’s what motivates them to convert everyone. By converting so many unbelievers, they’ll rise up the ranks and get that heaven spot for themself. The people they converted? Doomed to hell, I suppose. A sacrifice to get them into heaven.

        JWs are pretty messed up.
