The Afterlife has to Suck

[Gorrila_thinktank]

Let's look at it from a theological point of view, specifically a Judeo-Christian one. Let's assume for a moment that there is a God. Now, if he's God, then logically he should be completely all-powerful and able to do absolutely anything, right? If that's true, then it should be too hard for him to keep us entertained for all eternity. Does that make sense or am I just talking out of my ass?

One of his first commandments was to have sex. His converstaions make worlds. He's only ever shown his pimp hand. He told a joke at the start of time and we are still laughing. His Designs make designs. He became one of his own creations; just to see how it feels. His main import is dirty laundry. His main export is love.

He is the most intresting entity in existence.

You ever see that old Twilight Zone episode where the criminal dies?

He's greeted by a fat man in a white suit who tells him he's in the afterlife, and absolutely anything he wants is his automatically. Women swoon at his feet, casinos pay out big every time, the police turn a blind eye to his crimes...but before long, he gets bored with it. Everything is handed to him on a silver platter, so there's no meaning or challenge to any of it. Frustrated, he asks the fat man, "What kind of Heaven is this, anyway?!"

The fat man replies "Who said this was Heaven?"

Assuming there is a paradise in the afterlife, maybe the deity that created it removes boredom from that realm of existence? Bam, something that's cool for ten seconds is now cool for a trillion years.

yeah, thats kinda the only way i imagine it could work, because of the OP's points

This is sorta on topic but all I can say is death scares me ... a lot. When ever I try to imagine the say I die I get really nervous.

Now you understand why I don't believe in an afterlife.
