Near death experiences

Pretty much since the universe is eternal. Given time someone will revive you. It's impossible to cease to exist.

You see, to me, that would be complete and utter hell. I don't want to live forever, eternity to me sounds like it would lead to infinite boredom. Been there, done that, I am a t-shirt. I find the idea of a limited existence to be far more instructive and gratifying, in that this is my one and only chance, I shouldn't waste it, or screw it up for myself or anyone else.

Your beliefs are essentially condemning people like me to eternal damnation.

Ew.

F=ma. Fact.

Some people don't have NDE's because they aren't meant to by God. Scary experiences don't last forever. Heaven always wins out. I don't know it all, but I know you go to heaven once you die.

I don't suppose it should be a surprise that the vision of a perfect universe of love requires a god that is a capricious, vengeful prick. I suppose the next step is to declare that we can't understand the unfathomable god, thus making the most preposterous statements as immune to challenge as they are devoid of sense.

So you are condemning me to my personal version of hell? How ... evil of you.

Waffles > pancakes. Fact.

You'll go to some other experience than the human experience. God is all powerful but since the universe is infinite. It's impossible to cease to exist. You'll get over it.

An infinite universe means you will have cycled through all experiences an infinite number of times. Sheer hell. An eternity of resignation to complete and utter boredom. Only a being of pure evil would conceive of such a thing.

Ick.

An infinite universe means we never run out of new experiences.

But if my body is rotting in the ground, then how can any new experiences include such corporeal pleasures as a finely-aged single-malt Scotch?

Also, I've asked you a number of other questions which you have not answered, even with a knee-jerk one-liner. Please get to them as soon as you can.

We never die. Basically we just sleep longer.

An infinite universe means we are doomed to repeat everything endlessly, trapped in an inescapable rut. Condemned to an eternal existence leading inevitably to insanity.

I'a i'a!

Nope, we never have to do the same thing over again. Since the universe is infinite.

"The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?

One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.

The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.

All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after."

I happen to like well-aged single-malt Scotches. My vision of heaven would have to include those. But according to you my body will be rotting in the ground. But that is no longer me. The entity that somehow becomes me is somehow infinite and undying. According to you, that entity will either variously sleep indefinitely, being thereby unable to enjoy a single-malt Scotch, or it will go on to experience new things, one of which I hope is single-malt Scotch (preferably at more affordable prices). Can you please explain in sufficient detail your she-god's plan for eternity that includes my Scotch?
