Would you do this sacrifice?
December 1, 2014 at 8:12 pm
Suppose you were given a choice.
Continue living as a normal person, die, don't come back, and when you die, you enter heaven provided you weren't super evil.
The other choice is that you are given powers and so much knowledge and given ability to live for a very long time (like 30 000 years) and you would be able to solve all the world's problems with your powers and knowledge but the downside to it, is that once you die, you will be tortured for eternity. The torture will be severe as the severest description of hell possible.
Would you live on normally or would you do the sacrifice for the knowledge, powers, and lifespan and solve the world's problems?
Be honest.

Your entire premise relies on me believing in magic.
I do not believe in magic.
There is nothing to consider.
Religion is a fairytale.

Nah, I'd decline the offer. The world will get there eventually, or die trying.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

If there really was a place where you could be tortured for eternity, the greatest thing for humanity would be to get rid of that place.
I'm not sure anyone would take option B. Is there a point to this? It sounds like you're leading up to saying "well Jesus did it", except he didn't.

Well...if I live 30 000 years, will I get a huge wang into the bargain?

If I was given so much power, why wouldn't I use that power to get rid of the place of eternal torment?
