After my death, I want to be dead, no more, finito, kaput, game over.
Like everyone else here, left alone... if there is such a thing as an immortal soul, I want mine to be obliterated into nothingness, no heaven, no hell, no purgatory, just nothing.... back to what it was before I was conceived.

But, that's just it. Your death is not a true death, quite the oppsite, it is your spiritual birth into eternity.

How on Earth would you have come across such wondrous knowledge?
Has any of those billions who have already died come back to attest that?

Christ liken our death as a seed that has been planted. In order for grow and prosper into our fullest potential there is the destruction of the orginal seed/shell. Meaning our death in this life is just our introduction in the next. So inorder for you to die, truly die one must be sent to Hell.

So I ask again is this what you really want?

Kindly read what I wrote again and again, until the glaring part where me dying being equivalent to going back into the nothingness I was before I was conceived becomes clear to your mind.

Indeed, what will keep all those souls busy for an eternity?

I don't know, but in an infinate universe the possiablities are indeed infinate.

Add infinite universes on top of that, while you're at it! And why not a few aliens from somewhere in those universes.... you can never have too many servants to take care of such a huge infinity!

[quote]I thought that your god boy had the Universe taken care of, whats with the requirement of servants?

God is the God that placed the natural world/universe in motion. With that in Mind why wouldn't there be a need for servants to maintain what needs to be taken care of... Look at The expressed reason God created man to begin with (To maintain the garden) Then look at the Charge he Gave man when he expelled him from the garden: To take care of the earth through the sweat of our brow.

So god just creates and then leaves all the taking care for the people who die.... so that's where the saints come in... ah... I had never thought about the mythology like that... and I had never understood where did saints come from.
Always thought they were some adaptation of pagan mythology into the canon...

And the only alternative to servitude is eternal suffering? Sounds a lot like something men would make up to keep ignorant people in line...

Hell is seperation, Suffering only comes in to play when one regrets what he has thrown away. For some I would even dare to say 'suffering' is a non issue.

whatever...
