My argument on the afterlife...

I see only that it would become incredibly boring. It'd take a while, but eventually you'd have done EVERYTHING repeatedly, and become incredibly bored-perhaps to the brink of insanity.

What kind of paradise is that? Oblivion sounds better.

Well, where the hell do you think ghosts come from? They're bored shitless so they come back to scare us for cheap kicks.

So much time, so many things to do... You can't die of any of them... Sounds like paradise to me

Or can you? Maybe you can die there too and then you go to the afterafterlife. There could be a neverending sequence of worlds we all go through.

Not if you create some kind of league table for best scarers - does football ever get boring (Aston Villa matches aside)?

So there's still be infinite time to do infinite things

The afterlife is nothing like Earth. It could be so good (assuming you're in Heaven and not Hell) that it never gets boring. There's no experience on Earth that one can really compare it to. Of course, Hell is probably similar, so horrible that you never grow used to it.

That is logically impossible. Heaven WILL eventually become boring. Unless you got a memory wipe...

As for hell, you WOULD eventually get used to all the pain, I know, because I suffered a lot as a child. Unless you got a memory wipe...

THAT'S IT! when you get bored, you ask god for a memory wipe and do it all again!

A pack of ten wipes would be cheaper.

sounds like Groundhog Day to me (man i love that movie)

but if there is an afterlife, surely there would be no concept of time? you wouldnt get bored cos you could, potentially, do everything for thousands of years at a time. well thats what i think anyhoo

similarly, surely there would be no concept of boredom, or possibly an infinite variety of activities that simply don't exist here.

He's got to eat. Mrs God can't buy the kids new clothes for school if hubby doesn't bring home the bacon.

Well, that hole in the roof still needs fixing, and the drains need sorting out too. He's been promising to decorate the lounge for years, too, and now Mrs God is threatening to get a man in to do it. How is he going to pay for that, huh?

I bumped into god on the street the other day. Apparently his jesus form is being an ass to him. I told him why don't he beat the little shit, but he explained that would violate his commandments.

He then zapped me for swearing.
