Really? Female? I don't remember ever coming across that idea before. Can you expand on that?

Females in heaven... What next? :D :D
 
Does Hell give life meaning and purpose?

Yes, but if your purpose in life is avoiding punishment you really should find another, and if you think the meaning of life is to avoid punishment, then you're a criminal. I mean, there's not much purpose Hell is going to add beyond that because nobody wants to go there. It's a bit like saying prison adds meaning to life.

Surely a more perfected Trinity, Father, Mother and Son. Only a determined misogyny would seek to suppress such a reflection of terrestrial and celestial. I can't believe that I had never heard of such an interpretation when clearly, the birth of the universe story could use a feminine touch.
At this point I decided to consult the concordance. Much to my surprise, every occurrence of "Spirit of Yahweh" in Judges is feminine. As I pondered that, I recalled Genesis 1:2, the first occurrence of "Spirit of God" in the Bible, and realized to my shock that it too is feminine.”

I believe I read in gnosticism - Jesus is married to a woman - Sophia (wisdom) - who is not only his wife....but mother and sister....and I think....3rd cousin. :)

Why is rejection of god a big deal to god, anyway?

If someone rejects me in the sense they want nothing to do with me and want to leave me alone and want me to leave them alone, and because of this I were to torture them for ever and ever, I'd be seen as an egotistical psychopath who should be locked up.

Peculiar definition of a loving, kind, benevolent, perfect God.

...but as far as I understood it, those Hūris are supposed to be completely independently created beings, not former human women. So there is no sharing needed. Also, the don't stay virginal (not together with a man with an everlasting erection), but they are supposed to become virginal again every new morning. Whatever that may mean.

Presumably the interior vaginal walls reconfigure themselves to give different feelings each morning as the suicide murderer enters her, lest it become the same old thing.

And, presumably, there are periodic mind wipes so it can seem like the first time to the suicide murderer lest he get bored with the same damned boring 72 demi-angles he's having intercourse with. 72 sounds like a lot, but a few billion years down the road, sheesh!

I gather that many women find their first penetration painful, so you have to wonder why Muslim men get turned on by the fantasy of inflicting pain on virgins throughout eternity.

Wait until the Houris start asking the Muslim martyr if they look fat, or if they get jealous because he plugs into one of them more than the others.

Never mind that, what about the 72 lists of odd jobs to be done around the place?
