Well, y'see, it's about a dream. A religious dream. It's totally ludicrous, but hear me out.
I mean, it's just a dream, of course, and I bet it's just my subconscious reinforcing my own morals, but still kind of creepy.
First, let me get this out of my system: I'm not a particularly religious person. I'm a Red Letter Christian - someone who views the most important parts of the Bible as the Ten Commandments and the direct quotes of Jesus. Everything else is secondary, especially the stuff Paul said that contradicted Jesus's message. Heck, I acknowledge that the men who made the final version of the Bible deliberately left out some gospels, including the gospel of Mary Magdalene's. Why? Because she was a woman, and people treated women as second-class citizens back then. Heck, they still do today, but I'm going off on a tangent.
I'm a registered Democrat and a liberal-socialist who's a major Bernie Sanders supporter. I'm a dedicated believer in actual science, aside from my interest in cryptozoology. I'm an LGBT-rights activist, as well. So, yeah, to a conservative Christian, I'd be a horrible Christian. Of course, I think conservative Christianity is pretty horrible, but I'm not looking for a political argument, I'm talking about a dream.
Anyway, Jesus appeared to me in a dream. Before I said anything to Him, He told me I was going to Heaven. I was happy, but I immediately asked Him if my best friend would. I expected Him to say yes - she's a very religious person, and a good person. He looked away, and He didn't say anything. However, I heard His voice in my mind saying she isn't. I mean, on one hand, it gels with my viewpoint that Conservative Christianity is wrong, since my friend is rather conservative. Maybe Jesus feels the same way, since a lot of Conservative values directly contradict His teachings. On the other hand, she's my friend and I feel she's a much kinder and better person than I am.
