Post What are you going to do in heaven for eternity?

Theists,

While all us infidels are burning in hell, eternally regretting that we didn't find the gospels convincing enough to believe, what are you guys going to be doing in heaven for eternity?

I mean, won't whatever you do get old after 143 billion, 468 million, 355 thousand 450 1/2 years?

Sorry to contradict you, but that is not eternity, it is much, much, much longer than that. Yawn and zzzzzzz

I know... i was just giving a hypothetical time way down the line.

In 143 billion years won't you guys just want to commit suicide out of bordedom and a horrible case of repeat stress disorder?

Solve the travelling salesman problem for an arbitrary number of nodes with an arbitrary number of connections.

I do find it ironic that xtians insist that free will means we are not robots yet to me one would have to be a robot not to mind eternity.

Well if everything is "new and original" there will take it one virgin at the time.

Theologically, the definition of "eternity" is a moment that is always happening.

Amos! Isn't the idea in your theology that "heaven" is the state of the mind after shrugging off our negative mental attributes?

I do like your infinite virgin scenario, though, but what about the ladies? Surely an eternity of inept first time lovers would not be what women would call "paradise"!

Hold on there! If this is true, it seems to posit that the very last moment of consciousness is what your "eternity" is. What about transmigration?

Socially, it's also the definition of a really bad date.
