Hell - Where is the idea of justice?

[Epimethean]

Where's the Kool-Aid Man?

Man... glad to see my thread is still going >.>

What the shit? How boring. I want variety.

Nature's God has promised me three bisexual wives and two bisexual husbands if I'm martyred in my quest to promote free thinking. That's all I think I can handle.

Just when you thought he couldn't get any more bizarre, GC is hoping to be in charge of his own galaxy. Giving such a task to him would put god in dereliction of duty.

[Epimethean]

It would be like that old Star Trek episode, "The Squire of Gothos."

Yeah..lol...can you imagine this conversati0n?

Jesus - Hey GC.

GC - Yes my Lord, my loving god! I love you I love you I love you I lov....

Jesus - Umm... thanks. Anyways, I need you to watch over this galaxy for me. Sure, Im all powerful, all knowing, and can micro manage like a mutherfuker... I just suppose I will give you a galaxy to rule over for a time..dont become a tyrant that I will have to oppose later and create a religion in order to save people from you...you groovy dude...ha ha ha..

Yeah...atheists are delusional. GC, on the other hand, has a firm grasp of reality. Soon he may own his own Galaxy.

That's fine but it's all a bit vague for me. If you want to live the life that god desires for you to live, then he is telling you what to want. Shouldn't that be your choice?

I have the choice to do what God wants or not, though the latter may come with consequences. I see that God knows what's best in my life and I need to pay attention to what He says.

I do not want anything other than to be happy. Lots of things make me happy - helping others, drinking beer, eating cakes, going out, achieving life goals, buying new stuff, bringing my family up to be decent people, watching sport etc I couldn't fit reading scripture, attending church, preaching to that because not only I wouldn't want to, but because I wouldn't have the time and would miss out on other fulfilling stuff.

You must miss out on some good stuff, because you're banking on getting it back with interest in heaven.

It's funny you would mention "with interest," because that is what Jesus teaches and I happen to be reading about that last night. Giving up stuff here will result in greater treasures in heaven.

I like you, want to be happy, and by serving God I find happiness. I tried living life my way and found to many troubles in my way, then I tried it God's way and have found many joys that would not have come my way if I had continued on my path. I to like many of the things you mentioned above, even to drink a beer on occasion, I love college football "GO Big Orange," I like to fish and hunt, I do really like woodworking, so you see God doesn't deny us things that makes us feel good and fulfilled. However I find joy in serving God in loving and helping family and friends, in worshiping Him and reading and studying His scriptures. There is so much more, if you have questions just post or PM.

I wonder what a typical day in heaven is like? A bit of worship, bit of backslapping and a lounge around. No sin, no bad stuff, no challenges. Don't get me wrong, sounds great apart from the worship bit, but for ever? Wouldn't you be sick after a trillion years?

I do not believe there will be a typical day in heaven, I do know we will worship and praise God often and I know we will have responsibilities. I think that one could be given the responsibility of caring for a galaxy, how awesome would that be. I can imagine having a vacation home on some secluded planet where I can bang away on a guitar and sing out of tune and enjoy a time of being by myself... well except God would be with me. So to get tired of heaven after a trillion years, I can't see that happening there will be an entire universe to explore and care for and who knows what other great things God will have for us.

And where in the bible does it say this is what will happen?

[IATIA]

I made choices with no new information...

And you make my point again.

So it requires new evidence. Glad we've got that cleared up. I'm guessing you won't be turning yourself into an atheist for an hour, then?
