“He typifies perfectly the delusional nature of the self righteous. Someone who thinks himself so wonderful and great that God, if he exists and most like him doubt that He does, wouldn’t dare to keep him out of Heaven. This idea of greatly inflated self-worth is unfortunately not uncommon in super rich power mad politicians who consider themselves so much better and wiser than everyone else. Such thinking most always leads to tyranny of one form or another.” Admin
The former mayor of New York City asserted in an interview this week with a prominent media outlet that he believes his work as mayor has earned him a place in Heaven.
“I am telling you if there is a God, when I get to Heaven, I’m not stopping to be interviewed. I am heading straight in,” Michael Bloomberg told the New York Times. “I have earned my place in heaven. It’s not even close.”
The quote was included in an article centering on Bloomberg’s desire to curb gun violence and his goal to “out-muscle” the NRA. The article concludes by noting that the interview was conducted a few days before the 72-year-old Bloomberg’s 50th college reunion and his solemn observance that many of his classmates have now passed into eternity.
“[I]f he senses that he may not have as much time left as he would like, he has little doubt about what would await him at a Judgment Day,” writes author Jeremy Peters, leading into Bloomberg’s assertions that he would easily get into Heaven because of his good deeds.
