There have been a variety of attempts to make Christianity's binary afterlife more appealing. One such attempt was the invention of Limbo, a sort of vestibule of hell where the souls of the unborn and "virtuous pagans" can hang out. It should be noted that only Catholics believe in Limbo... and its existence has never been officially confirmed by any pope. It is, essentially, fan fiction. Most Protestants simply believe, as Gina does, that the unborn, mentally challenged, etc. simply go straight to heaven. I remember reading some Christian fiction once that placed some scenes in heaven, and a few characters who had been zygotes and mentally challenged for their brief stint on Earth were walking around not only as fully formed adults, but as towering Adonises, superhumanly beautiful in both body and mind. It was odd for me, particularly because I knew enough about the human reproductive system to know that these unborn Übermensch should be outnumbering the saved by a significant margin. | |||
