Measles. Thanks RFK Jr.

That’s a lot less dark than i was expecting.
I’m more concerned about the tombstones shown in the panting in heaven. like what happened to THOSE people? are they Super Dead?
This picture is from a Jehovah’s Witness publication. This isn’t a depiction of heaven, but rather a future paradise earth. And the picture depicts various people being redirected back to life.
Those are for the living, waiting to rise up.
This looks like some jehovahs witness “art.”
lots of diversity: check no interracial couples or evidence of them despite lots of diversity: check heaven is a physical place where you keep your body and there’s flowers and columns and shit: check 80s romance novel cover horny painting art style: check
No clothing diversity
No women in pants: check
at least it’s not ai slop
Isn’t it a little tortuous to send children to heaven as children. Even if just a spirit, the appearance and mind of a child feels a little Kirsten Dunst in interview with a vampire. Same with the old. Who wants to go to heaven as an old man or woman?
Most conceptions of heaven kinda feel like hell. This picture scares the hell out of me.
yeah how the fuck does relativity work in heaven? I agree with you, if I died as a kid that would stuck for all of eternity to just be a kid.
If i’m wrong someone can correct me, but don’t a lot of christians believe that your aoul lies in wait until the day of judgement anyway? So everyone shows up at heaven at the same time.
Time works differently when you’re dead
Edit: sorry… don’t let me ruin your meme lol, i’m just religious infodumping
It depends. Some sects believe in the concept of “particular judgment” – you are judged and go to heaven (or hell, or Detroit) immediately upon death (I think Catholics believe this). Other sects believe in the doctrine of “last judgement” where all the dead are put on hold until the end of the world, and then judged en mass. There is, as usual, conflicting Biblical passages on this point.
My family took a novel approach to it. Everyone gets judged when they die, but only the worst go to hell, and the best go to heaven. The rest wait around until the rapture and then there is Judgement 2: Judgement Day where all the people that were waiting around get judged against all the new people, and then they are split based on some kind of holy bell curve. It was really just a lot of bullshit to get around my family being full of drug addicts and racists and no one wanting to admit that if they go by the Bible they are hellbound.
Enjoy your mythology. I prefer my imaginary afterlife to be interpreted literally.
Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side.
I find your lack of faith disturbing.
The Jedi are extinct, their fire has gone out of the universe. You, my friend, are all that’s left of their religion.
What reality takes precedence in heaven? My view of my grandmother or her own view? Or is heaven a bubble of reality for what each individual wishes most?
Depends what you believe but many think of the concept of heaven not as a place where you see your dead family and pets, but more of a state of being including oneness with God. Sort of like nirvana. Or the Nexus if you’re a Star Trek fan.
The Nexus, being a destructive addiction, seems to me more of an analogy to heavy drug use than a happy afterlife.
To be fair there’s nothing really wrong with the Nexus as long as you’re not destroying a planet with a pre-warp civilization to get there.
I’m pretty sure JWs believe that heaven is like IRL and simply do not ask the obvious follow up questions because they are a cult
They think that 144,000 anointed ones go to heaven, good JWs stay on a perfected form of Earth, everyone else is completely destroyed.
I am wondering much about graveyards in Heaven, can you die in the afterlife and where will you go then? Is Heinlein’s Job more factual than I always assumed??
It’s been years since I’ve read Job. What was the part you’re referring to?
I just remember him being a dishwasher, since that skill travels easily and everyone has dirty dishes.
