considering heaven is often described as everyone praising God repeatedly without break for eternity, probably not that far off

According to believers, it rewrites or erases your personality, which begs the question: are you still you in heaven? Or is it more like an avatar visage of what was once you?

Its just your faith acting as an eternal battery stripped of all other purpose. Its why Yahweh only takes the true devout and believers.

Which also begs the question of whether literally any god is true with faith.

Oh I am a Buddhist from a Roman Catholic family. Trust me I know. But wasn't sure how well people would take the more obvious truth that if it's our faith that sustains the idea then that means it wasn't there in the first place.

It was rough for the first hour and a half, but now my worship.ps1 PowerShell script runs every half hour, while I think about math.

Well, at least if there are computers involved it should be highly automatable.

Oh yeah. And your debts carry over.

All the illnesses too, mental ones included.

Oh, and ads for some seasons. Not that there is anything to benefit from selling random stuff, just a dick move.

"We're in the bad place, aren't we?"

"Was it the RocketFish keyboard that gave it away? I told Todd that was going too far!"

Edit: To be fair, I liked my RocketFish keyboard, but I'm aware that it is the "frozen yogurt" of keyboards.

"I love how you humans are always making something a bit worse, just so you can have more of it."

Imma die by auto erotica asphyxiation

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Does that mean you'd be choking for all eternity?

Or Cumming, it's a 50/50 gamble

Nope, thats what you get in hell.
You can tell that by the (consequences of the) TDP.

Wow, this reminds me of something I learned when I was a kid. Which religion is it that believes that, when you die, you continue doing the last thing you were doing, for eternity? It was something like that.

If you were a real angel, you would need a ton of monitors.

[–] naticus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That took me a moment and I am upset thinking about what you meant.

I know, right? Angels are fucking scary.
