What do you do in Heaven?

RE: What do you do in Heaven?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

RE: What do you do in Heaven?
Actually, I thought my use of the phrase "we've seen" was pretty straightforward, as in "we've seen proposed in this thread", but whatever. As to the contradictions in the positions presented, I don't need to go to the trouble of inventing them. So far they've come pre-contradicted. It's not my fault if they make more nonsense than sense; I merely solicited the comments, I didn't make them.

Clearly the use of phrases such as "there will be no more sin or suffering and everyone will love the LORD and do all things to his glory. We will be able to worship God in his very near presence and do as He's created us to do for all eternity" suggest something different to you than they did to me. That's fine, that's the name of the game. It would be such a dull world if we all agreed with each other, wouldn't it? Sort of the point of what I hoped to get across, really.

You haven't noted contradictions, just differences.

When they follow " It will be like life now, businesses running, sports, entertainment...," they certainly don't imply a single thought and single desire to me. I don't see how you can engage in business, sports and entertainment if you only have a single thought in your head.

Nor can I. Might be better to ask Jeff next time he's online.

"Having a single thought in your head"? Sounds like my compulsive thought loops.

I've often been accused of having a mind like a Welsh railway (single track and absolutely filthy). Even that would get boring after a few million years, I suspect.

Thought loops? Isn't that some kind of conceptual breakfast cereal?

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.

Total joy? Who is defining joy? What then is total joy?

Who the fuck are you to proclaim that another human brain is 'insignificant'? I suppose you assume your brain to be significant. A convenient and meaningless distinction.

Your infinite wise god is second rate. A proper god would have no problem creating obedient humans. Your god's fucking book proves my point.
