I just want to make sure I didn't misinterpret you.
Anyway, I don't want to live with god forever because i don't think I want to live forever, let alone with the same person for all eternity. Also he's not real, so, you know.
Well... just for one instant.... what if this life were a dream? And that time is just imagined! And that reality is something far, far beyond our comprehension!
Speaking of parents... Not long ago, my 7 year old daughter was asking me about Heaven, and what it was like. I said, well we don't know but imagine it's something like Disney World! Games and rides everyday! All fun and no tears!
She said: "wow, that would be great!" After a couple of silent minutes she said: "daddy?....wouldn't that get boring after a while?"
I smiled and told her: "That's why Jesus said, that our minds could never imagine what God the Father has for us!"
It's so good, and unimaginable... it will be something that we will never ever get tired of!
