    Who went to St. Ives?
    I don't know; you don't either.
    So it is with God.

    Read the last two lines of the rhyme ... The question can be taken as "cats kits sacks wives how many are going to St. Ives?"

    "One" would not be correct unless Dave! is a cat, kit, sack, or wife...

    Just a few quick questions to the eternally retarded morons [...]

    You expect people to entertain your questions when the first thing you do is blatantly insult them by calling them retarded morons? I suggest for future reference that you learn some etiquette and manners before you try to challenge someone.

    I'm guessing that the question was simply a vessel to float the insult upon.

    Heaven is an imaginary state of being which it is believed will be given to the imaginary souls of those who believe in the tenets of various religions for following those tenets strictly during their lives. For particular strands of the Islamic faith heaven involves a large number of virgins being available to the lucky one; for Christianity is the achievement of the beatific vision i.e. an eternity spent in contemplation of god.
    For me, heaven is my garden on a May morning between 4 to 7 a.m. I prefer that to all the other made up stuff of all the religions of the world.
