How do you know you'll still be you when you get to heaven?

July 22, 2014 at 1:33 pm

Supposedly when you accept Yahweh/Allah/Jesus into your heart, he takes out all the parts he doesn't like, and the rest goes to be with him in heaven. Except that people are the sum of their parts. If you take away their life experiences, how can you say they will be themselves anymore? How is that different from having a lobotomy? You might say that it just removes the darker parts, but leaves the lighter parts, but the dark and the light are still parts of you. You just wouldn't be the same if you took out chunks of your life and thoughts and replace them with whatever another person finds more acceptable.

Over time heaven has just felt less and less appealing to me. It may not make me as miserable as immediately as being tortured in hell, but even if it is really me up there, and I'm not some automaton who can only feel what god wants me to feel, then it will wear down until I want to leave just as badly.

Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
