According to popular belief, God gave us the Garden of Eden, which was supposed to be perfect, then a snake came along and screwed everything up. God's plans weren't foolproof. So who's to say that things won't go wrong in heaven?

You know why we're so screwed up? Instead of trying to understand the meaning of various events/stories in the Bible, (factual or not) we get all intellectual and analyze these things to death.

Makes about as much sense as shredding a t-bone steak, looking for the taste.

If we gave each other physicals as thoroughly, there'd be no illness. (shaking my head)

So...for the sake of argument...let's say you're CORRECT.

What useful purpose does this serve? God is a myth, there is no heaven, there is no Perfection...you've proved it.

Now what?

You cannot receive spiritual discernment through the intellect. The more you analyze, the further away you go. And some of us AIN'T NEVER GONNA GET IT. Nothing anyone says or does is gonna prove to us ANYTHING concerning God &/or religion. And that's alright!

The only thing these types of questions prove is that you don't get it.

OK...we got it.

Yes, I gave up analyzing the mysteries of life about a month after I asked this question. Things are much better for me, thank you.

My intellect shows me spirits do not exist, and I inform you that logical analysis is much more reliable than uncritically believing in spirits and gods that do not exist. in order to really understnd anything, w must use our reason, so your approach is wrong.
