Oh, so THAT'S why a lot of announcers for NFL broadcasts still say "the New York football Giants"! Can't have people confusing a team playing in New Jersey with one playing in San Francisco... -- My latest dance performance <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_9pudbFisE> Mac and geek T-shirts & gifts <http://designsbymike.net/shop/mac.cgi> Prius shirts/bumper stickers <http://designsbymike.net/shop/prius.cgi>

Actually, it isn't about belief, it is about definitions. By some definitions, Jesus has eternal life because he is not forgotten, still being talked about and written about. Similarly, Elvis has eternal life because decades after his death, he is still being talked about, there are still reports of him being alive etc etc. The same will likely happen to Michael Jackson and many other people who have left a significant legacy in the world's history. Heaven: your legacy is remembered as having been a positive influence on the world. (Nelson Mandella comes to mind). Hell: your legacy is remembered as having had a terrible influence on the world. (Hittler, Bush Jr, BinLadin, Tim McVeigh etc). Once you die, you cannot do any more actions to change your legacy so it stays that way for eternity.
