If a christian person laments never seeing their loved ones again as though this would be a shit world to live in if it were true....then they should consider that they would likely think as much in hell, but still...and especially then... should instead be happy for their loved ones, and that they did -not- see them again. We're all up in your religion, rearranging your head, devious secular types that we are.
I like Aquinas' view.
My joy in heaven will be enhanced because I will be able to see my enemies suffer in hell.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
