Heaven?

[pasithea]

You know. Just thinking about the whole religion thing some more and it occurred to me... All these people who are trying to get into heaven... What are they going to do when they get there? I've never heard a single religious person mention their post-heaven-arrival plans. You're going to be happy for all eternity? How, exactly? Eating from the tree of knowledge is a sin, so you probably won't get to catch up on your reading. Likewise, adultery, sloth, gluttony, etc... So.. How exactly are you going to be 'happy'?

It's only wrong if it significantly hinders. But you've never had a time where it's 'Fuck it, I don't want to deal with this.' or 'Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!'? Anyways, my best guess is that it's something that's internally consistent just as long as it's a closed system. That is, there are some who don't care, and they don't care that they don't care. Their endgame is to bring about the end of the world, so that they can get a spiritual lobotomy. Thus their distrust of intelligence. Scary, innit?

Although it should be said, it's more that we're biased in a long-standing debate. What's better? What's truely good? A happy pig, or an unhappy socrates? You, I, and our friends side with Socrates, but others make the argument for the pig, since it's not suffering.
