And what if you die at 4 years old do you live for eternity with the mind of a child. I'm sure it's magic all the way down.

RinE: Eternity in Heaven - Scary?

I believe and think that variables will be different in the day of resurrection.

In the Quran, this verse can be found:

Quote:Sura 29, The Quran:
( 20 )   Say, [O Muhammad], "Travel through the land and observe how He began creation. Then Allah will produce the final creation. Indeed Allah, over all things, is competent."

I assume that this "final creation" is different from the current creation. It is also a known opinion within Muslims' intellectual and teachings.

In other words; "boredom" will be removed from the citizens of heaven, and joy will be repeated and enjoyed just like the first time.

Imagine spending eternity with boredom removed from your world, having sex with every time feeling like the first time, eating delicious food with every bite tastes like the first bite. That will be the grand prize if you ask me.

Most religitards live with the mind of a child anyway.

The thought of having to sing 'shine jesus shine' just one more time horrifies me !

Seriously though even as a christian I gave it little thought (eternity) because i couldn't even imagine what that could be like.

Some faith have a more beautific image, take for instance the JW's 'New heaven and earth' and the thought of living on an earth where no one died, no illness and the lion laid down with the lamb (supposedly now eating grass) I can see how people would go for that.

But I just cannot see any joy in singing praises forever (and ever amen) could possibly be fulfilling in any meaningful way.

Associating with a being that can create universes sounds like a good way to get accidentally squashed.

Yeah, I prefer to have someone who knows what he's doing and not to bleed every time I have sex.
