    I beg to differ.

    If heaven is full of people that are alright with a cryptic contract that requires faith without evidence, then it’s a truly awful place to live.

    Imagine being in heaven and knowing any of your loved ones were burning in hell for eternity. You can’t help them, and you’re supposed to think they deserved it.

    That is my hell right there. Heaven is a contradictory concept that cannot exist in the way the Bible describes it.

      Early concepts of heaven were a lot different than how we see it in pop culture. The concept was as vague as “you’re constantly surrounded by God’s love” which to me sounds a lot like you’re subjected to infinite bliss regardless of how the place looks or what agency you have. Existentially scary, but for the person in heaven they would never know.
