Am I the only one that hopes there is no heaven?

[HEyHEY]

I mean, really the thought of being consicous for eternity is awful to me. But I get bored easily.

I hope when I die, it's lights out.

[NNadir]

1. I'm with you. I really don't want to go to Heaven. Pat Robertson says

he'll be there. At least now I avoid seeing him.

[HEyHEY]

2. Though it'd be nice to beat him with a harp and throw him off a cloud

[caty]

3. If there is a

heaven, I doubt if P.R. will be there. I don't think God likes people who put contracts out on other people.:shrug:

[johnnie]

4. Admit it though

It would be fun standing inside the proverbial gates looking at a shitload of fundies whining that they can't get in because of how much they hated people their whole lives.

[HEyHEY]

5. True dat

[Fenris]

6. When the fuck did you turn into Colodem?

;)

[sundog]

16. he has to yell at god first

rite of passage

[hunter]

7. It's not lights out, it's into the archive.

Every so often someone will look you up.

Better than sex if you are a dead guy.

[chaska]

8. Hell man, I'm already planning to rumble when I get there. Gonna be...

throwing Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and followers over the side.

[rustydog]

9. My hope is there is a heaven. And when Pat Robertson

is standing at the Pearly Gates, St. Peter and God are standing there arm in arm and God says...
Pat, they got it wrong...I did say Adam and Steve.

GO TO HELL!!!

[swag]

10. Heaven is where the Church of Christers go.

And that's Hell to me.

[babylonsister]

11. No worries, no taxes, no hand grenades, horseshoes, or

regrets, works for me.

[anarch]

12. Don't worry, there is no heaven.

The bad news is, there is a Hell. But there's cable TV there, so it's not really all that bad.

[sundog]

13. i don't have enough energy for heaven

[babylonsister]

14. You might not have a choice in the matter.

Howze that? :evilgrin:

[JVS]

15. Didn't you know that in heaven you'll be so drunk that it isn't really...

the same as being conscious?

[redwitch]

17. I am a little concerned about the boredom factor

If there is a heaven I am certain the schmucks won't be allowed in so it's not the company I'm worried about. I just think it sounds boring.

[Chicago Democrat]

18. Both ideas are inadequate IMO... it is lights out. but whose to say

either way. All we can do is estimate and conjecture, it is the ultimate mystery.


Me I believe in life. Life goes on. Both metaphorically and physically. Also there is little doubt that life expent has an effect that can be seen and traced. So what remains is physical but what the parts we can't see? What about our life force?


It floats away. So does it think and live? My opinion is my own.

[Autonomy]

19. How do you know you're already not conscious for eternity?

As in Zeno's Paradox, there are infinite temporal points between any two points in time. If temporal flow is an illusion, which is not impossible, then your life, and in fact every moment, is an eternity. I know that rings true for me sometimes, such as while watching Bush speak tonight.

Or perhaps in Heaven you're not conscious at all, like in a dream. Does bliss require effort? What if, after death, there is nothing but le petit morte? That would be worth dying for.
