Eternal Life (thanks, but no thanks)

Hi Buz, Yup. Tacky. In very poor taste. Also a trifle camp. I'm a night owl. But I like rest. I like to get all tired and then have a nice rest. Boundless energy is the last thing I want. It would make me antsy. To me, an environment cannot be perfect. Imperfection is part of the charm of nature. But without work, people go crazy. We need work. It's a vital part of our psychological make-up. What? Why would I want authority over anyone? That's the last thing I'd want. Okay, I'll admit that's pretty good. I don't want a mansion. Why are you so hung up on material things Buz? Shouldn't heaven be more... I dunno, spiritual or something? Gold, precious gems, mansions... it's all a bit greedy and materialistic and for no good reason; what value can gold have in heaven? The heaven you describe here sounds like eternal torment to me. I'm not just trying to score points here, it really sounds intolerably awful to me. True, it sounds better than the lake of fire, but it still sounds dreadful. The only thing that could make me look forward to that would be the threat of even worse punishment as the only alternative.Mutate and Survive

Well me apparently. Who would want a golden pavement? But that's the point this thread is all about; the perspective of a worldly mortal is the only one available to us. From that perspective, the heaven you describe sounds miserable. It makes heaven pretty hard to look forward to, especially if you're insisting that the (crazed) description in Revelation is accurate.Sure, you can posit that I would somehow enjoy all that stuff in the afterlife, but then, I would no longer be me and we're back to square one. You're the one trying to push this "heaven" place as being so desirable. It sounds hellish, and; Mutate and SurvivePS; Would I be able to get the latest comic books in heaven? Because if I have to miss the last issue of Daredevil: Shadowland, that's a deal breaker.Edited by Granny Magda, : No reason given.
