I saw the movie and it was great, but I never got to read the book.

I'd want it to be someone I've severely hurt in the past(Physically or Emotionally).

You guys are completely missing the point of the thread. So you are atheist. Awesome. We get that you think the idea of heaven is wrong. But this thread isn't, "if you believe in heaven, tell the five people" and it's not aimed to be religious. So stop acting like you are above the topic of this thread, because it's not cool.

Anyway, sorry Irish, but I don't really know who my five would be. I haven't lived long enough to have encountered enough people. I think one would be my mom, and one would be my 10^th grade English teacher, but I don't know who else.

Guugley, no, he doesn't choose. The first person he meets is a man he barely remembers from his childhood, and he's incredibly confused as to why this almost-stranger is explaining things to him.

quote Enigma

_{Does it say why the main character gets his life explained by people he barely knew/never met? I find it hard to imagine how someone I'm not close to would be able to explain my life to me.}

Name of the book is the title of the thread

Edit: I can't believe this got featured thread over the Butter thread

Well, this is how I see it. One of my preferred teachers would explain everything relating to my educational career. One of my friends or past friends would explain the purpose of my social life. My father would explain my family life. A friend that loves video games would explain my video game life, and Redpemtion would explain Neoseeker.

Robin Williams
My Grandma
My Grandpa
My Mom
Ric Flair or George Washington/Thomas Jefferson

Bringing up Neo is actually an interesting point because it kinda backs up the thing that the people don't necessarily have to be people you knew or met in your life.

I mean, if Redemption met me in heaven to explain my fetish for PM-sex I wouldn't know who he was would I? Until he told me

Dunno... um
Redemption
My mom
My dad
A magic monkey
And probubly Jesus.

Mr. Blobby-

My dad

An old, good friend from the past (someone I may have lost contact with)
My grandfather

I don't believe in heaven.

That's not the point. The point of the thread is to tell us who you would like/think would explain things that have happened to you in your life? Just because you don't believe in heaven doesn't mean you can't answer that question.
