The idea of living forever never really sat well with me, even when I was a young evangelical Christian.
Sometimes God answers prayers right away. Sometimes it takes s little while. At other times, it can take a very long time. And many times he doesn’t answer them at all.
It’s almost like it’s totally random.
It’s pretty much confirmation bias.
There’s a badge for giving 50 likes in 1 day.
I ran out of likes. I wasn’t counting, but my god… I want that badge.
I got the badge for liking so many posts in the train cartoon thread! Chooooo choooooo
I have to wait 1 hour+ in order to like posts again. I’m going get that badge.

Hmm. Maybe start a “say something nice about the poster above you” thread. See how long that lasts

I don’t think this is a good idea, but I did it anyways. The ROI was pretty high.
God likes humans.
Say something NICE
Say something NICE
God likes Humans isn’t a nice thing to say about Him?
Nah u gotta fix teh title
I got a badge for linking to a post. This is turning out really well.
You presume that God gives a rat’s ass about what you want.
What makes you think He does not?
It is humorous, isn’t it?
Not when you know the extent that God loves all.

What makes you think He does not?
Personal experience.
It seems to me that He has a plan for my life; regardless of what I actually want.

Black plague. Polio. Influenza.

Jesus did mention that heaven is always searching for pearls of great price. Perhaps you are one of them.

Then I would feel bad for my fellow souls who had not the benefit of living my life. My lower middle class lifestyle did not ensure me a pleasant afterlife, but it is less of a burden than many people have to endure.

Richard Bach once ruminated that we seem to be here on earth for two reasons: To learn and to have fun. There is a lot of truth to that. If you believe the afterlife is a repeat of this life, then perhaps the deep lessons you learn in this life continue on with you into the next? You will continue to learn; you will have more fun.

I am not against a soul from more fully realizing their experience during their lifetime. I just don’t believe that any amount of realization will be able to change the persons actions during their experience on Earth.

There is a lot of opinion to that.
Shouldn’t God have known that Lucifer would betray Him at some point? Either He planned for Lucifer to become the Devil, or He was blindsided by it all.
God is very interested in proper narrative constructs and abstract symbolism.
