I think the only worthy afterlife would be one where anyone could die when they get bored with whatever heaven is found.

I think the norm would be to go insane if a person had to live for 10000000000000000000000000000000000 + years.

Perhaps that is why God is not showing his immoral face around for us to judge his sorry ass. God has gone insane.

How many years do you think you would last in your heaven?

I cannot fathom more than a few hundred.

Surely, one has to assume that neither time nor boredom will be permitted through the pearly gates.

Now now. You know what assuming does to you and me.

If there is no time in heaven, then we could not think as that takes time. One may as well be dead. Consciously dead that is.

Boredom in Yahweh`s heaven was likely s likely what caused Satan to choose hell instead of heaven before she rebelled against God.

That is my assumption.

You don't need time to think if you know all things simultaneously.

You're probably right - half the world's evil is inspired by sheer boredom.

Without time, your thoughts which are made up of subatomic particles that move, must have time to move.

This is obvious to any who know how the subatomic world and nature works.

The cessation of time is a widely-attested phenomenon, even in this life. Go talk to someone who's dropped a lot of acid.

I will let you as you seem to be one of them coming up with such garbage.

Not very open-minded, maaan

You say that just because you cannot refute how thinking and subatomic particles work.

Your mind was so open, you let garbage fall in.

That is based off the assumption that human nature will remain unchanged in the afterlife. I'm not going to speculate that much, but being "liberated" from the hedonic treadmill will alter one's perspective on eternal existence significantly.

You are basically correct but human nature will remain the same in humans regardless of the input. All input changes our thinking but we remain human. Your view is quite the reach though.

In humans, even our DNA is designed to only have us live for a certain span and that indicates that our overall individual natures are tuned to die.

Nature does have DNA for longer lives as we speak. Some plants live for thousands of years. I guess nature does not give those to our type of creature.
