>die
>go to heaven
>its church 27/4 with no debauchery
i'll take purgatory tbh
Forever sounds crap, and nothingness is terrifying.... Can I just have like a cycle? Like Rebirth but.....not rebirth?
>go to hell
>like yeah youre on fire but a universe where youre on fire forever is eventually just gonna get dull
>what makes us hate suffering so much is knowing its inverse (pleasure)
>pleasure doesnt exist in hell
>so pain loses all definition
>so pain isn't pain anymore
>hell is purgatory ffs
>viceversa w heaven

EDIT: This is of course assuming we keep memory and if biblical and historic to heaven and hell are true, then memory is still kept.

Or is the pain the knowledge that pleasure exists and that you can not have it?i mean i guess this is kinda weird talking about how we'd feel abt states of being considering feckin ETERNITY but like i said, even if you do retain your earthly memories i think constant pain is just going to get dull after a while. pain is defined by pleasure and viceversa and it's our only understanding of it so rly who knows how itd feel to exist in hell but i think its arrogant (or someword like that) to assume itd feel genuinely torturous forever just based on our temporary experiences of pain we have on earth

the idea of a Fire Universe is like the most basic fearmongering caveman bullshit and i think the bible is getting at much deeper ideas than anything like that. i think fundamentalists cling to ideas like it so hard just because of all the money they've put into the church
People always talk about ghosts being "leftover energy" or whatever but isn't that like, not how energy works? If you don't have a body to contain it doesn't it sort of just go off in every direction?
Anyway I'll love it if there's any sort of afterlife but from a human perspective I can't really see why it would be real. Good thing human perspective is insanely limited.
