• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Well, we really wouldn't know what that is like because we haven't experienced that.

    How about it starts off like a Truman Show things and gradually becomes populated with real people as you learn to deal with them and they learn to deal with you? And how do you know what feelings your eternal soul carry? Maybe anger, frustration, sadness etcetera are all in the physical brain...

    True, but whatever problems one might have with heaven would probably be resolved, because an all-powerful God would know what your problems are before you exist, and thus many manipulate the scenario of heaven (and not yourself) to make you happier until you can adjust. Well there is a...

    I have, actually. Personally, I don't think the Old Testament is relevant to anyone outside of the ancient Hebrew people, and even then it was just a history book. I believe the teachings of Christ replace the teachings of the Old Testament, tho' I don't really think they "replace" it so much as...

    Who says They have to manipulate your will for any of that to happen? Who says you just don't eventually choose to? How many people do you think would be a part of a religion that said that in the first place?

    Very true. No, it was more of the whole "I'm better than you and going to take over heaven" type thing.

    No, they were the Archangel Lucifer who rebelled against God and got cast onto the Earth and refused redemption due to pride. They were certainly not created that way.

    Why create any of us if we have the possibility of rebelling due to free will? Again, its why we want Artificial Intelligence even when we have perfectly working computers: sure they'd be loyal, but would they be a good companion? No, not really.

    Sure it does, I just doubt anyone will go there.

    I don't believe anyone will be in Hell, actually. And whatever their earthly dispositions or morality was, eternity can do a lot for self-improvement.

    Yes, but deprivation of that choice is a violation of free will.

    Using the Bible as a guideline, everyone goes into heaven if they choose to. Grandma splits into multiple soul avatars to keep company for each person? I mean, how do we know the mechanics of interface with other people in heaven? I mean, who says she can't do it all at once, or even a concept...

    That'd be the argument I'd try to put forth, yes.
