Instead ask them a really difficult one, like, try asking them what their favorite color is. Make sure they don't shoot off the bridge. I'm always doing that. I'm always shooting off all over the damn place. I just can't help myself. It makes an absolute mess of my bedsheets.

Why would t? are you not aware of the definition of extraterrestrial life? God the angels and demons all fit that definition... In fact God could can be considered a trans dimensional Being. The idea of God having to be a being of magic or of mystical origins is foolishness that religious people made up to corn hole the market on God.

Your question is malformed. No one deserves a pleasant afterlife. We have all sinned and fallen short. We all deserve separation from God. It is only by the free gift offered that we don't get what we deserve. The difference is that you implied you deserve a "lesser afterlife" because you are not a Christian. That is not the case and the difference has huge impact on the whole worldview.  RE: Questions for "Our Role(s) as Christians on Atheist Forums"

So unless John was seeing some kind of George Jetson space tower, it seems more plausible to assume that John was providing a spiritual meaning by means of physical metaphors.

I don't think anyone ultimately deserves anything be it good or bad. But considering God knew that original sin was going to happen he condemned everyone knowingly anyway. I mean, according to the Bible.

I don't consider god, angels and demons, life. What else ya got?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
