My thoughts on heaven
November 2, 2015 at 5:22 pm
Many people want to go to heaven but have you ever thought well once you got there and really took a good look around for a bit. It is supposedly a beautiful place with a beautiful scenery and by that logic it would be like that one place from the kid show my little pony but really once you are there mind you if you had your free will wouldn't it be boring. I mean think about it the modern convinces we take for granted wouldn't exist in heaven neither will clothes for the most part. I mean it would be boring sure amazing for a few minutes but would get boring i mean no computer no cell phone no apps or games. I mean you can worship god and talk to jesus or what ever but besides that it would be boring.

The Christian concept of heaven is what many misconstrue as immortality in the flesh. The huge difference is that immortality in the flesh does not and cannot lead to boredom, due to the fact that advances are always being made and new things are always being created that would allow one to keep one's self entertained. The opposite cannot be stated for immortality in spirit form, for precisely what would there be to do except stand around in limbo for eternity? Early writers did not properly use their minds in creating the fictional place referred to as heaven.

Heaven could be fun for a while, assuming you had free will and could think and act for yourself. Unfortunately eventually you will have done everything that anyone could ever think of doing. Maybe it would take long enough that you forgot some thing you did a hundred years earlier, but who knows? eventually you would want to end it all. Immortality isn't very appealing, unless there's at least an off option at some point.

Sometimes I dream I am in a video game. I kind of hope in heaven we can play video games in the sense we are in it and acting the story out, even though we know it's not real. The same with massive multiplayer games, like we have a massive video game world, where it has a theme.
Like for example, Mechwarrior. Maybe we will be in giant robots even though we know none of it's real.

I'm glad heaven doesn't exist. Kind of pointless to go there to play video games when we've already got them here.

In the book of Jude and somewhere in the ot, we are told of angels that abandoned heaven and married mortal women. These angels will be cast into hell for their sin.
Now think, what was it about their heavenly experience that was so dissatisfying that they preferred to be with human women? It’s like abandoning a seven course meal to go have a big mac attack.
We’re not even talking about the angels who rebelled with Satan. No matter what the reason for their rebellion, the bottom line is they were not happy.
If the beings who lived there weren’t happy, what makes us think we will be happy in a place we’ve never been?
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Ya'll better do your damndest to make your heaven here an now cause that's the only chance you're gonna get.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
