What do all of you who are 'saved' expect to do when you get to your heaven? After all, eternity is a long time, a kind of infinity if the advertising's anything to go by. Even if we take eternity simply to mean until the end of the Universe, that's still a hell of a lot of hours to fill. How do you imagine doing that? Perpetual sudoku?
Incidentally, the corollary question doesn't really apply, since we hellbound heathens apparently have a full itinerary mapped out for our eternities; what with all that torture and fire and hanging out with history's great thinkers.
What do you do in heaven? Get bored I suppose? I mean the first thousand years will probably be decent, as long as you like worshipping the lord and massaging his ego every day, but after that, well...?
I mean in actual reality, a good lifespan I reckon would be 1,000 years, but anyway...
And doesn't an eternity of heaven make this actual life look like an inconsequential, tiny worthless speck - why bother going through the 80 years or so of actual life in the first place?
Why do christards never think of this shit and then think "...oh, hang on?"
And of course godschild think that maybe god will allow him to run his own galaxy in the afterlife, yes he actually said that.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
