I don't think I've been THAT bad.
It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Unblemished? Then at least I won't be surrounded by computer nerds for eternity.Originally posted by Dr Strangelove
No, no, no, no. It's not 72 virgins, it's 72 "unblemished youths who will always remain unblemished no matter what you do to them."
Basically you'll be surrounded by kids, not necessarily of the opposite sex, age not specified.

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

I'd think I would go along until I figured out what was up. Chances are you don't get a second chance at an afterlife.
If the situation is reincarnation, then I won't remember any past lives, and will start the new one as a baby again -- so the current ego will fade away just as if the atheists were right.

OK, no reincarnation.
So, let say I find myself in the hindu sorting hall. The place is full of hindus, half naked, talking a language I do not understand. There is a dude there, with an elephant head with 6 arms and standing on one foot, asking me something in Sanskrit or trying to tell me the directions...
Well, I'll guess I'll have a hard time and most probably will end up were I should not.The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame. Oscar Wilde.Comment

brillianti threadi...
if there is afterlifi than there is God, and if he's there he can't be that bad... if he was like this earth there would be nothing of whatever he made... so it can only get better... doubt it will be virgins (as they'd quickly wore out ) or some other sort of entertainment... but I'd bet it will be good.

Let's do some math.
Say the end of the world will hit when we are 20 billion.
I've been told, there is today still more living people than dead ones. So, say at that time, in whole human history there has been a grand total of 50 billion people past and present.
Say, those who are of the 'right' religion and doing well enough to be saved, managed to be, say 20% of mankind.
That is, we are 10 billion in heaven. 5 bil. men, 5 bil. women.
If incest is also forbidden, then poor Adam is allowed to have sex only once.
All people have a forbidden 'cone' toward the past, and a forbidden cone toward the future of women they cannot have sex with.
The more you go down in the generation tree, the more potential mate you have. So, say on the average, the average believer is allowed to have sex with half the women there. 2.5 bil.
One mate per day, and you are ok for roughly 7million years.
After that... it's hell.The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame. Oscar Wilde.Comment

So, that down payment I have for my snow cone stand in hell is no good?
Ah well, complaining serves no purpose. But then, neither does "taking everything in". It's time to be DOING something. Like seeing about taking over the joint. Bound to be a bunch of disgruntled folk I could band under a 'new management' banner.
