    Gambling is bad because of the consequences of gambling when you have finite resources to lose. I assume that any form of heaven is post-scarcity so betting is done just for recreational purposes.

    One could argue that any form of addiction ought to be avoided on principle if your goal is to remain “pure”

    Look, all I'm saying is: if Jesus died for our sins and you aren't committing any, then I guess I just want to know why you insist on making his death be in vain? I mean, I know if I was to go through a whole ass crucifixion and everything I would like to think it was at least worth it

    In the days immediately after my dad's death, I had the house to myself and had retreated to my basement/office space to have a stress-relieving wank. Just outside of my space was my daughter's battery-operated activity table that was known to play jingles at random. What it was not well known for was playing the giggling sound effect at random. So imagine how quickly I put my dick away when that table laughed at me not once, not twice, but three times in the span of a minute.

    If that wasn't my dad's ghost making fun of me, I don't know what it was.

    Fun fact:

    The Bible says everyone goes to heaven at the same time. So I guess the souls just chill out until the rapture happens?

    The Bible says everyone goes to heaven at the same time.

    I don’t think that’s clear in the text, and that’s historically been a major point of theological contention. I think the debate in the US 1800s over “soul sleep” and the affiliated quasi-cults that sprung up after the Millerite movement (Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovahs Witnesses) had very strong opinions on whether you go to heaven immediately, stay “asleep” in the ground until God starts resurrecting people, wait in some kind of cosmic waiting room for the resurrections, or if you are just flat out dead until God wakes you up. (Of course, JW’s are so committed to bad exegesis that they’ll die rather than receive a blood infusion, because “don’t eat animal blood” in the ritual purity laws of course means “don’t receive human blood infusions.”)

    Think about Mormon baptism for the dead. Those people aren’t in heaven or hell (because at least the lower kingdoms of heaven aren’t even set up yet - all of us non-Mormons are going to be hanging out on Earth 2.0 when we die). Mormons are experts at genealogy because they’re trying to make sure that every great-great-great-great-grandparent they have gets a chance at salvation.

    Yeah, they hadn't figured out relativity yet back then. The soul departs the body at the speed of light, meaning everyone who does reaches heaven instantly. Since it's so far away, from our perspective, it takes essentially forever thanks to time dilation.

    You can trust me, I have a PhD in bullshit.

    I have a theory that when people go to church, they go for the intention to change their privacy settings, and the priest just reads out each setting and people do the cross to agree with each setting.

    I have gotten no evidence of the contrary so it must be true! /s

    She's probably flicking the old dried up bean while she watches.

    I think there's nuance to this.

    Any deceased family member of yours who belongs in heaven is going to give you privacy when you need it

    How do they know when that time is without having first witnessed some ball gobbling?

    Do we just have ancestors popping in for a check and immediately turning away embarrassed all the time?

    Maybe they have to ask permission at the family spying desk and the attendant will just shake their head and say "umm... Nows really not the best time. Gobble gobble if you catch my drift."

    I can't imagine how many embarrassing reunions there would be in heaven, or maybe hell is just filling to the brim lol

    Yeah but my grandmother was 104 when she died. She married my grandfather when she was in her twenties and I really don't think she was really all that bothered about him it was just the done thing back then.

    She definitely would take the opportunity to be judgy, while at the same time technically passing the requirements by her own standards to be in heaven.

    She has it all wrong: Grandma and her other ancestors aren't watching from heaven or whatever they're inside her. Passive guests in her body that get to "live on via their children and grandchildren." Literally.

    Grandma tasted those balls right along with you, girl! It's like that saying, "if you're cold, they're cold."

    If Grandma wants to watch me flick the bean, that's a her problem.

  • [–] 14 points 2 years ago (1 child)

    Grandma probably did the same in her youth, and now that she's in heaven, she's reliving whatever she wants, whenever she wants it. At worst, she'd wish she could offer some advice.

    Why would Grandma care? Grandma's probably getting her brains fucked out by 13 werewolves while Grandpa's putting together a catgirl harem. Even if that's not your kind of grandma, she's probably very much aware that she should be giving you privacy, lol.

    This question is addressed in the book “The Lovely Bones”
