Liberator: thats what I'm saying. If you believe in God and heaven, then you also believe that being in the presence of God will wash away sin and hatred and greed, luist etc. Heaven is a different place than Earth, the rules of the game are not the same.

The physical presence of God

Unlike, say, the average Billy Graham revival meeting where the Spirit of God is present.  In Heaven, the physical presence of God ensures that there is no strife, hatred or other evil, sinful things because such things cannot exist in His presence.

So the rampant immorality and all the baggage that goes along with being human(hatred, lust, ect.) goes away and all that is left is what is good in you.  You're still you and can remember the other things but in God's presence you don't need any of that stuff anymore.


Tell me this then Lib. Where did Satan live before he turned bad?

Eden anybody? Big bad snake?

The Genesis (correct me if I'm wrong) proves heaven is impossible...

I just got two questions
1.) Can I wear my succubus T-shirt once in a while (she is firey red with HUGE tits)?

  2.) Can I pleasure myself as needed (assuming the Victoria Secret angels are busy that night)...

   3.) See Number 1!

End of my questions about heaven...

AFAIK the bible doesn't actually say that the snake was satan.

Besides this was obviously after he turned bad.

someone should do a computer game about Lucifer's war against Heaven. Throw in some talented  and slighty twisted concept artists, and you've got the makings on a masterpiece.

well I don't see the problem, once god dictates wich opinion to be corect, then those who do no hold to it are cast out from heaven and sent to burn in hell for the rest of eternity, everyone else stays in heaven, so long as they hold to the party line.

Strangely, I've been thinking the same thing - sort of

Rather, a war in hell between 1970s America & the devil..... namely an image of a line of Hueys crossing over a firey pit.......ala every Vietnam film you've ever seen.
