So how much can I sin and still go to heaven?
A charming young daughter once came to her parents and said, "Mom, Dad, I have a question.
"See, I'm planning to run away from home and live in the most dangerous part of the city. There I will accumulate for myself the most abusive 'friends' I can find. I will become addicted to alcohol, heroin, crack, and a lot of other drugs I haven't even heard of yet. I have a strong sense that I will become anorexic and possibly also bulimic because I will come to hate myself so much. To pay for my drug habit I plan to steal and to sell my body. Perhaps I will get a job feeding carob pods to pigs, but I'm not sure what that means. Eventually, I imagine, my new lifestyle will lead to my death somewhere in an alley all alone.
"Oh, no, don't misunderstand me! I'm not asking for permission to do all these things. I've already decided.
"What I need to know is, when I do all these things, will you still love me?"
Her parents resisted the urge to scream, "HELL NO!" because they knew it wasn't the truth.
