Hello everyone.
I was just wondering if there is any sex in heaven or hell. I would assume that there would be no sex in heaven because everyone in heaven would be pure and celibate. However, hell is populated by evil and wicked people, including atheists and homosexuals. If people do have sex in heaven or hell, what would happen to their offspring? Thanks. |

I imagine that sex without a physical body would be difficult.

At least if you don't have a physical body the flames wouldn't be that painful.

After I went to immense trouble to get sterilised 30 years ago, at a young age and meeting one doctor after another who wanted to pat me on the head and assure me I *would* want children...I wouldn't be half pleased to find out I could get knocked up in the afterlife. :devil3:

Why are you asking this question on an atheists message board? Certainly you know how it's going to be received? Are you just trying to score some attention? |

The only sex in Hell that I can imagine would be degrading and torturous. And not in the good way.
And no, no babies in Hell. If babies can't exist in Limbo, then dammit, they can't be born in Hell! |

Anyway, there certainly is sex in hell. What else are you going to do for all eternity in the universe's biggest dungeon? |

If you define 'sex' as 'being buggered with a spiky red-hot poker' then maybe you've got a point... Ok, it does depend on which conception of hell you're using. Given the sorts of people that are supposed to be in hell though, I'd rather be talking with Nietzsche and Sagan than banging that cute succubus.

But there is plenty of sex in heaven! How can you be a bride of Christ without consummating it? I am surprised no xians have used this to support multiverse theories - Jesus copulating with his church is how new universes are born.
And why am I getting images of those little beasties that live most of their lives alone but at certain points get together in huge colonies? And as physics has anti particles, xians have an anti -Christ, so copulation in hell produces anti matter universes! Which makes me wonder if Maths and Physics in its concepts of plus and minus, positive and negative has imported religious thinking. What would a math and physics look like without positive and negative? |
