Top 10 excuses at the Pearly Gates

Last night I spoke on "Excuses, excuses", looking at the excuse given by the servant who failed to wisely use the money his master had entrusted to him (Mt 25:14-30, part of today's NT reading). In my intro I gave examples of excuses people give for not going to church and for being late for school. I was thinking this morning about excuses people might use at the Pearly Gates. Here are some I came up with (in no particular order). Feel free to add to the list.
(1) But how was I supposed to know that Jesus was coming so soon?
or But how was I supposed to know that I was going to die so soon?
(2) But I did a lot of good things and helped a lot of people in my life.
(3) But I once read through the whole Bible in 2 years.
(4) But you let ________________ in.
(5) But I went to Ashfield Baptist Church and I knew the ministers, John
Morrison and Karen Beaton.
(6) But I thought I could maybe buy a ticket at the gate.
(7) But we were planning to have a family reunion inside.
(8) But I never realised that you had to book ahead.
(9) But that's so unfair!
(10) Can't you just show a bit of compassion. (Said in an earnest, supercilious
tone as though God hadn't sent Jesus to die on the cross to save as many as
possible).
