I concede all my limitations unreservedly, however notwithstanding that I actually do know a few things about the Universe and don't resort to misguided speculations about what I know to be incorrect. I'm certainly not in a position where I'm considered an authority on things I have little idea about. Maybe it was a little impolitic of me to put the word "idiot" into your head, but that in no way takes from the perception that you are getting your information from decidedly unreliable sources. I will continue to call a spade by whatever adjective applies, but thank you for your concern.
It's easy for me to miss all sorts of points, indeed I'm certain that I will still do so even if the point is covered in chocolate and stuck under my nose. Maybe if the point was better defined it might help. That is, after all, the purpose of this thread, no? For instance, we are told that all things considered as sin will not exist in this scenario. I find it hard to conceive of new books, films etc forged in such an environment. Such things depend on conflict to make them not only interesting but to work structurally. There may still be people to produce these works, but as we have seen they are to be people reprogrammed with but a single thought, a single desire, to worship the boss for all eternity (whatever eternity means in practise, I don't think we've established that yet). Forget Harry Potter, will there be the likes of Fanny Hill in this heavenly library?

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
