will you look back on your life and say was the silliest thing you had a tendency to do?
supposing when we get to heaven we understand things more clear with God's point of view, when you think about your life here, what habit or tendency will seem the most ridiculous to you?

Mencia: No, I didn't make any assumptions except that if you didn't believe in heaven, you'd be smart enough to figure out this question didn't pertain to you. Was I wrong?

I'm sure this one will be high on my list of silly things: Getting mad at the haters and baiters (one might even say "master" baiters) here on R & S.
When the phobics come on, dissing gay people or Catholics or anybody who doesn't believe like them, and I get all riled up... I know it's dumb of me, but sometimes I can't help myself. I bite the bait and start typing an answer so fast my keyboard smokes, and the phobic baiter doesn't even read it anyway.
Silly.
I'm sure from my wider perspective in heaven, there will be a lot more of those "man what a dope I was" moments.

oddly enough I do believe in this theory! I believe when we cross over we will have access to what I call "Universal Knowledge".
I am guessing that the things I will find the most ridiculous on the other side will be all the little things I made such a big deal about. How much of my time and energy I wasted being mad at something stupid- or never having the guts to tell someone how I felt.

Sorry, when you die you don't go to Heaven. If people that died went to Heaven it would be full of dead people. What an ugly sight! But there is hope. If you are a believer in God and His son then Jesus will return and raise you from the dead. Everything will become new. Things will be like before Adam and Eve sinned. We won't go to Heaven but we will have heavenly bodies that will live forever and will reign with Christ on the earth.

The supernatural -- including God, heaven, hell, Satan and tooth fairies -- is an invention of the human imagination.
Faith and logic are antithetical. If religious adherents would admit that they believe for PERSONAL, rather than logical, reasons, THEN they would be honest about their "faith". But claiming faith on a logical, rational, basis is dishonest -- faith is a personal position . . . not a logical conclusion or rational choice.
Faith and doubt always go hand in hand. Faith without doubt is BLIND faith. It takes a closed mind to sublimate doubt to the point of blind faith. Normal people leaven their faith with a little common sense. Doubt always nibbles at the edges of faith. After all, without doubt, faith would have no context, no purpose, no meaning, no point. Would it?
Because there is no evidence for anything supernatural (including God), NOBODY can claim ANY knowledge of it. Anybody who does is lying or delusional. It takes suspension of disbelief to believe in the supernatural: one must convince oneself that the impossible is possible. This is the opposite of curiosity. You have one life, one quest . . . and you choose to surrender it to something you can’t know anything about.
When people talk about faith, they're usually talking about the supernatural: God, angels, miracles, etc. There is, of course, lots of doubt involved because the supernatural is entirely outside the human (natural) realm. It's not so much that God, or angels can't exist . . . the real point is that NOBODY has access to the supernatural and thus NOBODY knows ANYTHING about it. Anybody who claims to have faith in something he knows absolutely nothing about is actually confessing to placing his imagination before, and above, his intellect.
Imagination has its place . . . but not where life decisions are involved. Placing imagination above intellect is surrendering your quest for meaning. You are surrendering the meaning of your life to your religion . . . to your version of God.
And that's fine. Just be honest about it. You gave up and made a leap of faith. Your faith is a personal position . . . not a valid logical conclusion.

you are making assumptions that first there is a heaven, second that I would want to be there and last that I had a chance of getting in.
