Jonathan swift wrote a verse about heaven:
We are God’s chosen few,
All others will be damned;
There is no place in heaven for you,
We can’t have heaven crammed.
I think he might been playing on the idea that some self proclaimed saints (or rather pharisees) don’t want “the vile” folks to be saved and spend eternity with them
An interesting thought problem is trying to identify who might be surprised to discover me in heaven.
