Can you make a God claim?

Let me see if I understand. My grandmother was the most important person during my teenage years. She exerted a much greater influence over who I became as a human being then my mother. If I was a Christian and went to heaven, my grandmother would mean no more to me then any other human?

All people will have equal value, there will be those who will be special because of the good they did in our lives, so no you don't understand.

She would not care more about me either? I also won't care more for my children or husband then I do for any other person? It sounds as if we will all have flattened personalities-if any personality, at all- in your version of heaven.

Your family and those you loved here would be special to you, like I said above all people will be valued equally. Don't you think that your grandmother might find the one who lead her to Christ special. I really and truly hope this want be the case, but wouldn't you rather have your grandmother not remember you, knowing where you would be, do you want such a loving person to suffer that memory. I think you love her so much you would want her memory of anyone in her family that goes to eternal punishment, to be wiped clean. Heaven will not be a place of cruelty. If we had to suffer there what good would it be to be there.

The more I talk with theists on this site, the more Satan looks like the good guy and hell might be a glorious paradise. GC, your version of heaven sounds like a horrible place.

Is that where you want your grandmother to be, you might change your mind if you understood exactly what hell is. Please do not be angry with me I'm just giving you somethings to consider that you may not have before.

But.. i wouldn't want to love god more than parents my parents mean more to me than god does. Because who is there when you need help parents. Who is physically their for you when you are down and just need a hug your parents. If god loved everyone like you say he does he wouldn't act like he doesn't exist he would be there comforting you and give and hug or do something cheer you up. I had my times of sadness i look for god i asked for guidance i asked for many things i even legitimately asked god for help and you know what i got nothing absolutely nothing. You know how disappointing it is to find out you were told a lie as a child that god would help you and yet i got nothing in return. Check your fucking facts look at how terrible god of the fucking bible is.
