As Spirit beings conditioned in physical bodies, we associate pleasure with their physical antecedents. We will have no physical bodies when we are reborn as Spirit after death. That is why we are ill-equipped even to imagine what sources of pleasure will be available. I for one will just be grateful to be rid of the need to urinate and defecate.

That’s the concept of Christian heaven, and I don’t have an issue with it.

However, in the Islamic heaven, there are all different kinds of pleasures with no side effect of any sorts.
Fruits and wines of highest quality, all kinds of foods, and any other thing one wishes for, and yes, lots n lots of sex.

There is no more obligation of worshiping God in the Islamic heaven, and no responsibility or duty or worry of ANY kind. If this is not heaven, then I don’t know what else is?

In Islam they claim Mohammed as their prophet and they say he is the final prophet, which only leaves them boxed in with second hand knowledge that they claim. And they can only seek self-fulfilling prophecy according to that, just as they say the suicide bomber "assumes" 70 virgins in heaven. While their actions reveal that they are only walking in a cut-throat existence as the pinnacle of their identifying factor. While they assume their own singular and personal, altogether goodness. So, in that all they have is themselves.


I figure in the spirit realm all they could say, is that Mohammed told them to do it, and carrying on with the cut-throat fashion they are walking in. Those are the circles that they travel and dwell in.


In this mortal realm they are free to kill me. The life and death decision in the world to come belongs to the One True God, according to the life He shares.

Maybe so, but if I am not "me" in heaven (meaning the same "me" that enjoys the same things), then what is the point? I am not too keen on becoming someone else in the afterlife, simply because I lack a body. If you know what I mean?

I guess he didn't have an answer.

Part of God's judgement on the beguiling serpent was that the seed of the woman would crush the serpents head. The serpent was not greater than the birth of the child.


The reason I chose the name chief scum, is because I know by experience that for the most part, the internet offers no respect.

In chapter 18 it says; Then the Lord said, the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know. The men turned away and went toward Sodom...

Ezekiel 49-50, 'Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.'

Can you point out where it mentions that the cities were destroyed because of sex?
NO answer Scum?

There isn’t a heaven and dead people can’t do anything. What a silly question.
