Zone1 How do you imagine eternal life to be like?

[Mortimer]

Jesus says whoever believes in him will have eternal life: but what does eternal life look like? Do we still have our memories and consciousness, and does time exist? If not, how can we imagine a world without time?

Once you die, your dead. Then you rot.

Once you die, your dead. Then you rot.

So nothing anyone ever does here matters.

With a view like this, no wonder atheists are the most depressed group of all belief systems. Imagine going through life thinking nothing you do matters.

Of course it does. What a silly thing to say.

That's what religion has always provided, a belief that your suffering will be rewarded someday.

You can be happy without believing in fairy tales.

Of course it matters
It matters to the children you raise, the people you meet, what you accomplish, your legacy

My legacy is USMB
My posts will last forever

As long as this board does not disappear, your legacy is cemented.

We need a new generation of donors to keep your legacy alive, count me in (maybe)

Beyond imagining.

Heaven is a tremendous place.

 

[odanny]

My concerns with someplace like heaven is would I have to live next to Trump supporters?

I mean, considering their level of devotion to the Golden Calf, is it likely this will be kept hidden from view in the afterlife? Will there be Trump flags and bumper stickers?

So then why do atheists lead all belief groups in suicides?

 

[Meriweather]

Of course it does. What a silly thing to say.

How does it matter? Either it all matters or nothing matters. In the beginning, who did it matter to?

Are you going into non-existence?

What I do in my life matters to me, my family and those around me.

I just look forward not having to walk through the pile of poo in the world we have to wade through every day, with supposide authority figures lecturing me endlessly on how I should think and what I I need to do and how to pay my fair share when those telling me do none of those things and are destroying society in the process.

God will rule, not man as man will never again have self-rule apart from God.

And of course having the lunatic evil forces locked up that can't scheme to make our lives a never-ending hell 24/7 would be a plus as well.

My point is everything matters or nothing matters. I favor the philosophy that everything matters. What have you ever created that did not matter to you?
