Appease the conscience

 by David Long

Appease the conscience. Escape reality. When the family pet dies we will tell the children that the pet goes to heaven (All dogs go to heaven). Why? Because we want to appease the conscience or escape reality. We do the same thing when our loved ones die. We want to think that they are in a better place but if they died lost, they are not in a better place (Lk. 16:19-31). We want to think they resting in peace but if they died lost, they are not resting in peace. Death is real and what happens after death is real (Being in comfort or suffering torment). The truth is if you die lost you will be where the rich man is.
