This spins off from a couple of ideas that were kicked out early in the 'Society without money' thread:

Is there, or could there be, money in the Christian heaven?

Nah. Cause the rich guys got all the money and they're not in heaven because they got . . . stuck in the eye with a needle by a straw camel. The Bible says so.

Yeah, but as any fule knoes the 'eye of the needle' isn't the eye in an actual needle, instead it is the name of a narrow gate in the walls of Jerusalem through which it is just possible to squeeze a camel.

Oh. In that case, I'ma go with: radix malorum est cupiditas. So no. No money in heaven. Unless everyone in heaven agrees to hate money. Which would be odd, cause then you'd have stuff that people hate in heaven.

Why would you need money in heaven? There aren't any material posessions, or bodily needs. Everyone is filled with the Holy Spirit and eternally fulfilled by the presence of God. What would you need to buy?

My girlfriend is "filled with the holy spirit" ... maybe she is in the presence of a god :p

Have you been there? I'm guessing no. Then how do you know?

Coke? Kinder-Eggs? Scatch cards?
Clearly no heaven would be complete without some means to purchase and sell the above commodities

That's a pretty good name for it. "The Holy Spirit".

I call mine "Goliath".

:D

There is no money in heaven. It's perfect => Libertarian Communist paradise.

Have you ever seen Titanic?


It's very long...


And a bit sad at the end...


My mum cried when she seen it. :D

Shut up. Everybody knows that the "Holy Spirit" of the Bible is Jagermeister.

I was under the impression that the spirit was Gary Coleman?

Bah hate black licorice something like HOT100 or ROOT100 for a shot much more yummy (and stronger)

No need for money there whatsoever. No physical necessities to deal witjh, only spiritual ones.

I must be a polytheist. I like tequila, vodka, gin, and sambuca.

Well I was talking about individual shots

In general ... same (not massive tequila fan) but add rum in there and good to go (that and brandy)

If you're going to use that arguement, whose to say that there is a heaven? I'm going off of Catholic theology and speculation. You're welcome to suggest other theories.

Oh, No gin shots. I like that in my martini.

Heaven and hell are the same place, a kick ass club, but if you are in hell you have no money to buy drinks. If you are in heaven your wallet is always full.

I like uvblue lemonade

Lemonade mixed with blueberry vodka … mmmm tastes like 80 proof coolaid

No. You don't get it. I'm not speculating. I'm stating a fact. The "Holy Spirit" of the Bible is Jagermeister. But if you don't read Aramaic, there's no way you could have known that. If you don't like it, I suggest you shop around for some other faith.

And whoever said "gin shots" is a Satanist and should burn in hell. The Bible specifically dictates that, except as penance, the ritual of gin must always be observed with Rose's lime, tonic, or vermouth.

I said I don't like it as a shot. Only in my martini.

No he corrected no gin shots ... just in martini's

I'm sorry. I get a little zealous when it comes to the Scripture.

So what about other services then?

I'd say, if you have to pay to get the things you want, it's probably not heaven.

At least, not my heaven! :D

For some, no doubt, the lack of the ability to sell services or make money would mark it off as not their heaven either.

Everyone knows you can't even get INTO heaven these days without lots of money. Or knowing one of the bouncers, or being a friend of someone who lives there... etc etc, same old excuses

That's what hell is for. The money lenders, the usurers, the rye drinkers. They'll love it down there! They use skulls for currency.

And the unlimited supply of skulls would inevitably lead to hyper-inflation, wheelbarrow loads of skulls required to buy a single shot of rye, &c, &c. Hell indeed.

u read the bible?? *staring in awe of boringness* that would be the worst book to ever read... :eek:

Sure there is!
If hell is the realisitation of a communist utopia (which no doubt is true, since every godless socialist and communist went there), then heaven must be a capitalist paradise.
Logic, isn't it?

Intruiging point... most posters before you implied that heaven was either dictatorial (one person, god, is in charge of organising everything) or communist (all is provided no individual needs) or a combination... probably without realising it.

So what political-economic model does heaven use?
