  • I wouldn't waste a second of this, your one GUARANTIED life, in hopes that there is anything hereafter.
    IMO there isn't and I sincerely hope that I am correct. After this grand adventure, nothing sounds better than eternal sleep. I think the traditional idea of heaven would be more like hell, for me. Sitting around on a pink cloud, strumming a harp for eternity? No sex, no drugs, no rock and roll; hell for sure.

    • I don't believe in an afterlife, but I have always seen the concept of one differently.

      If you are capable of getting bored, that would not be perfect and therefore not heaven. If you can't do the things you love, that is not perfect and therefore, it is not heaven.

      Because this would lead to contradiction (a Mormon and a gypsy would not be able to exist in the same heaven because there pleasures would not be ideal for the other), I feel everyone would have their own personal heaven. Perhaps like different dimensions where each person lives out the best life possible over and over again without ever knowing that they are in heaven.

      Not that any of that matters. Just a thought experiment.

    • Why would you sincerely hope that you are correct? Wouldn't you rather transition and be welcomed into an unimaginably better, greater and magnificent existence in some kind of energy / spirit realm and body?

      I think your idea of heaven is misinformed. Who says heaven is sitting around on a pink cloud strumming a harp? Of course that would be boring not to mention stupid. What if it's something infinitely greater and better than anything you can possibly imagine?

      If there's a God and therefore a heaven don't you think it would be in God's power to arrange something even greater than the best earthly sexual experiences? And better than the best drug and music experiences?

      • If gawd had any 'power' at all, wouldn't you think he might use it once in a while to protect the innocents of THIS world?
        This life is what everyone gets. Dreaming of another is just a waste of what is for what might be. I am not built that way. I wouldn't sacrifice one tiny instant of this life for more money, a different love or some pipe dream of a future after I die.

    • your view of heaven sucks, I wouldn't want to go there, either. plenty of other religions have sex in heaven, thank God. :P
