Heaven and Hell: Wtf?

Contrary to popular belief, the body doesn't adjust to pain like it does other sensations. Spite God if you will. He doesn't care--at least, not in the way that you want Him to care.

Hell isn't some place that you just get to screw around in, though. It's a bad, bad place.

Whoever said that Hitler was in hell?

Anyway, I'm tempted to start lecturing people on the beliefs of Christians, since there seems to be a large pool of misconception in which many KMC members enjoy frolicking, but I figure, what's the point? They don't care. They aren't going to change.

I disagree. Pain is just a normal sensation (like rubbing against something) amplified a lot. And there's plenty of evidencce for being able to train your mind to be immune to the torture-aspects of physical pain. The same could be said of mental pain.

And I never said I'd being screwing around in Hell. I'd imagine I wouldn't have much control over what's going on, but would still have my thoughts, or essence. And if they take that over too, I'm not really myself then, am I? So it's a moot point.

Besides I don't believe in hell, precisely for this reason (and others). I defy any sort of creator to make a place so bad that I can't eventually enjoy it if I have all eternity to train myself to....it wouldn't happen. They'd have to destroy me, which isn't really pain anymore.

...

And if the pool of misconception comment was aimed toward me as well, I may have misconceptions (don't we all) but I'm at least a former Christian....so while I'm having some fun while also making a point or two, I have at least a little bit of valid background on the subject.

-DM

P.S. And the whole spiting God thing was only to spite a god that feels the need to damn people to an eternal hell. I don't imagine there's a god quite like that, and if a transcendant creator does exist, I love him very much. So this whole tirade isn't entirely malicious....just mostly. 😛

Heaven and Hell exist just like the Elves in the North Pole do 😉

God doesn't want to damn people. Cripes.

And maybe I'll have to visit the North Pole sometime.

The Christian version of Heaven would kind of become hell if all you did was easy and cloud like...doing absolutely nothing forever! As for Hell, it doesn't exist. Though I believe there is something that we learn from this life, possible go back to where we came from and share what we've learned, then may choose or not choose to have more experience....

I don't get it. What makes Heaven better than hell. The only difference is it to me is Heaven's depicted as a flowery cloud full of bright lights and a clear blue sky. Hell is depicted as this bad ass fire pit filled with lava and all that awesome shit...

I could imagine Hell to be a really, really sucky place...if you don't beleive me, get someone to kick you in the balls repeatedly for 2 minutes...and then imagine that for a few milliopn years...until the next....worse...punishment comes.

And although I certainly fear the idea of a hell, I am unable to believe that Jesus is my saviour, sucks for me, doesn't it?

For whatever the tortures of hell, the boredom of heaven would be even worse.

Sure thing, if that makes you happy, but you know that isn't true, right?

I don't know about you guys but I'm going to Purgatory. 😄

No, you are going to hell. You are an atheist. A very outspoken one as well.

Good for you, still going to hell.

all universities should have offer a degree in that. I think that would be the most wanted job in this country for sure.

There was a great signature someone made a while ago. It discussed how, given how fast the Flash moves, 2 minutes is roughly equivalent to 2 millenia to him. Then it interposed that idea with a 2-minute commercial with the annoying Pepsi-girl that used to do their commercials.

The crux of the argument was this:
2 millenia of Pepsi girl is WAY worse than any current religion's conception of hell.

I found it pricelessly funny (it was much better in the sig...I have the feeling I butchered it).

Anyway, something to think about. 😉
