CE 430: Adventures of Jesus
St. Augustine is about to lose his sainthood. In CE 430 he died and found himself in heaven. Only heaven is nothing like what he had written of. He is thrown face to face with huge errors. And heaven forces him to change his views. In heaven remorse often precedes unity.

Everybody goes to heaven
This review is from: CE 430: Adventures of Jesus (Kindle Edition)
This is written by a proponent of the "all consciouses go to heaven" philosophy. A quote from the introduction, "CE 430 is the year St. Augustine died. A giant of the early church, he is, as we assume all conscious persons are, found in Heaven." (Note: I seem to be conscious, but so far as I can tell, I am not in any sort of heaven.) Exactly what Rose and other proponents of this idea base their philosophy upon other than wishful thinking, I don't know, even after reading some of their claims. I suppose they claim to believe that eveyone, no matter how evil, is there. Or maybe the truly evil are not conscious persons. (Of course Christians believe that the truly evil and anyone else can get there if they repent and seek forgiveness for their sins. Let's not get into Calvinism and Arminianism.). Unlike atheists, Rose and his ilk don't reject a god of some sort or an after life. They just reject the Bible, other religious books, Christianity and other religions as being unreliable sources of information. Apparently Mr. Rose particularly rejects Christianity. That is, after all, safer than loudly and publicly rejecting Islam. Probably more money in it too. Not to mention more approval from the intelligentsia.
