It’s a GIRL Thing
What do you mean I can't buy my way into heaven?
I haven't gotten that memo yet. Should I be worried?
The fact that "after life" is such a mystery scares the crap out of me. :(
What of a load of crap.
Yep, afterlife is only for us intergalactic rulers!
It was required that you be able to afford a Book of the Dead, which served as a road map to the afterlife.
So the poor got screwed again, how rude
Didn't cats get an afterlife too? After all, they were mummified so . . . .
no fair!
What kind of logic was that? Sheesh!
Well, that's just fantastic news that us poor folk now how the opportunity to walk through those pearly gates too. Pft...
It was an unfair belief...
