If that was the case then the world would be ass backwards. The saints would be sinners, rich men would be begging. Ya know what I'm saying. If that was to happen, I guess we'll all just hafta sit back and see what the next life brings. Not much we could do about it. You're the devils advocate though, you should know the low down. Haha. Peace.
