No. Heaven is a state of perfection, so no one who is perfect is going to reject God by definition.

Who's definition?

Yours?

I hardly think that carries much weight here kiddo.

So... those creatures 'full of eyes' mumbling glory glory glory for eternity are part of perfection... God's subjective view of perfection is bloody weird.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?

When, after you die? How is that going to matter?

When those who persevered are in heaven, it will be part of our reward.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

So I'm supposed to live my life a certain way because of an unsubstantiated promise that I'll be rewarded after I'm dead?

Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

If this so called God would show himself to us, then we could believe and all go to heaven but because he doesn't appear anywhere, he can't feel insulted if we ignore him. We are all supposed to be with our ancestors and beloved friends we have known when we die, so why would god's love concern us?

When your allegorical Satan fucks you over and shows you just what a waste you have perpetuated, justice will be done via tragicomic means.

If one is not a Christian, the promise is a curse of truth.

Can you possibly show a small amount of intelligence toward a conversation.

We cannot be held accountable for your inability to research and understand the word 'tragicomic'.

And they say I live in a fantasy world.

Apparently, if one IS a xtian the reality is a lifetime of abject stupidity.
