What kind of person would be able to fully enjoy themselves in Heaven knowing that the other half of humanity, even people they knew or cared about was being tortured in Hell?[/quote]
Maybe Heaven is the ability to forget that there are any bad things anywhere. Like being a squirrel. No knowledge that there was a time before you, no knowledge that there will be a time after you, no knowledge that there is a hawk’s nest above your burrow, general enjoyment of acorns and other squirrels.[/quote]
I’m not going to try and convince anyone that Heaven exists.
But if it does, I’m certain it’s not the place pictured on the Jehovah’s Witness handouts. You know, the pictures where everyone is well-dressed, smiling, and hanging out with exotic wild animals.
Although it would be kinda cool to just walk up to a cheetah and start petting it.[/quote]
that version of an afterlife seems equally likely as any other version of an afterlife you can think of.
my kid once posited that heaven is whatever you think will happen.
