I keep asking this question – what does one DO in Heaven? Can Theists describe a DAY? ONE DAY? The quick and easy answer, with a big smile, is “We will be working for GAWD!” (yes, that was a bit of mockery, because they make it sound so important), “You won’t be bored, don’t worry” (well, boredom was not the question) or my personal favorite, “The work you will be doing will be so fulfilling, more than what you have ever done or dreamed of doing on earth!”
But what exactly is “working for God?” What Work does God need to get done? And that too needs our help on?
Here on earth, working for God means, at least to me, helping the unfortunate, the poor. Working for a better world, fighting against Sexism, Racism, Casteism, Anti-Semitism, Dictatorships, trying to eradicate diseases and so many other things that good people join and fight to make this a better world!
Aged people, like me, with their hair completely white, are picking up a gun and going to the frontlines in countries like Ukraine! So many people in Dictator-ruled countries risk life and limb & raising their voices against brutal Dictators & their henchmen.
There are so many other things that we can list but let us pause for now. So, is that what we will be doing in Heaven? You mean, there is Poverty, discrimination in Heaven? Dictators brutalizing innocent people in Heaven? Heaven is not the wonderful world of joy & peace that we have all been led to believe?
Their second answer about not being bored – does that mean there is no work? Do we just do what we please? And what is that exactly?
And the third – that we will be back to doing some work, but it will be soooo fulfilling! But what exactly? Again, are we to be doctors healing the sick? Helping the poor? Back to – Are there sick people in Heaven? Poverty in Heaven?
So, I ask for DETAILS! And it is here that theists run away! I never hear back from them again or if they are in front of me, a change of subject!
So, what is going on? What is going on is clear – THEY HAVE NO CLUE! Heaven is a Fantasy; it is not real. A Ponzi-Scheme that is held up by greed, a media that censors all legitimate criticism or doubt.
Fantasies, Ponzi-Schemes fall apart once pressed for details and that is what is happening here. What is sad is to see even the best and brightest of minds fall for these Ponzi-Schemes, drool over this Fantasy.
Unfortunately, though we can build castles and mansions in the air, we cannot live in them.
One can live ONLY in the REAL WORLD, This one!
We may not like the world that God gave us, built for us, but running away and hoping to hide in a fantasy is not the answer.
Sadly, the media censors people like me, asking questions like this that make Religious people uncomfortable, questions for which they have no answer!
Sometimes I pinch myself, am I really in the 21st century? Living in a Free world? With a species that prides itself as a curious, intelligent species?
When it comes to religion where does our intelligence, morals, values go?
