That sounds like hell for the servant boys and the maidens in the harems

I think they call that "grape juice" here on earth.

Man, now I know I don't want to go.

Also, how does one get around in Heaven? Since machinery was non-existent when the Bible came about, one has to assume that everyone would have to be healthy enough to walk everywhere. So I'm wondering, are there FLYING CARS?!?! I still wants me a flying car. That'd be the coolest way to tool around the place.
But then, could people get run over?
If there's no flying cars, I guess there could be flying horses. Look out below?

Maybe they'll just fly around like Jebus did when he went up into the sky.

If you're an atheist, like me, you shouldn't concern yourself with such things as you'll be burning in hell in a lake of fire. You should concern yourself with finding a boat with an asbestos lined hull. That's what I plan to do. That and finding me some aloe vera!

Why do some of you refer to him as "Jebus" thats just so asinine and juvenile...

I guess I would view heaven as total enlightenment. It will be like an "aha" to the nth degree. Our spirits will be enlightened to all the truths of our universe. Perhaps we will be more in touch with the entire universe and all sential beings. Hell would probably be the exact opposite of enlightment. Those who spend life so hung up on themselves without concern for others will experience total isolation and utter lonliness.

As for the Crystal Seas, Lakes of Fire, and Devils with horns; I don't buy all that malarky. Its an explanation that is easier to explain to people than truth of what is to come, which is beyond our comprehension.

I'm a little confused becasue I've read a few arguments on this Thread, but I don't know where you come up with that conculsion? There was nothing before your quote that gave any real argument to say that.
So I'm wondering, how does the "whole concept of after life" collapse when you apply logic? What logic is there?

I'm not trying to be mean or hateful. I'm just curious.

Thanks
