If you live in India spraying and breathing poison over fields all day ,They would welcome this so called non change .

Change is. Done! And, that can't be changed.

Heaven and Hell , the carrot and the whip .

As a child one of the things that Terrified me was the "endless praise" thing... I mean, I loved singing in the choir, but 24/7/365 for Eternity? Aaaaarrrrgggghhhhh!

I agree with you that all of life is about change and I think that humans should enjoy change and be in control of what they want to change in their own lives. i do believe that Heaven and Hell are ideas that people try to manifest in their own lives. I also think that heaven and hell can be introduced to people in various ways through different experiences that teach people their definition of heaven and hell and it helps people learn about their own strengths and weaknesses which to me is a true definition of heaven and hell. My strengths are my heaven and my weaknesses are my personal hell!!

To me living for an eternity would be horrible.

In my mind it would be like the Q continuum. Eventually, everything that could be done would be done--and then what? We would run around the universe pestering space travelers just to try to amuse ourselves? No thank you!

In the heaven I was taught to believe in, there is no free-will, no human emotions (except for basking in god's love, I guess). It is simply perfection or something posing as perfection. And worshiping god for eternity, of course. So, would it be similar to being in the Borg collective-- except with no hope to ever reclaim one's humanity? Again, no thank you!

I have no desire for my consciousness to continue on after I die. It is enough for me to know that my atoms and the energy that gave me form will continue on allowing other life to exist.

*Yes, I am evidently a Star Trek fan

I don`t know about that old chap.
Q: How many Englishmen does it take to change a light bulb?
A: We quite like the old one actually

It doesn't even make for useful conversation.

None of us can imagine what heaven or hell are supposed to be like. Hell is supposed to be painful beyond any pain we know. The faucet thing sounds annoying but I'd take it over burning eternally in a lake of fire, for example.

But since it's all bullshit, who cares?

If I were the one singing, it would be hell for anyone within earshot

Who Moved My Cheese?

I have a leaky faucet myself.

And, sometimes people who don’t live in the house try to come in & change perfectly good facets to leaking facets. Don’t fix things that aren’t broken.

Just to play devil's advocate. I think that there is an unstated premise in your proposition, that heaven is supposed to be something that one can imagine. Humans live in a material world and anything that they are aware of, changes. In order for human senses to sense something there must be a change. The object sensed must give off sound waves, emit photons or just compress your flesh. In quantum mechanics, you can't measure speed and position at the same time, because by measuring one you change the other. This is because our world exists in time. Heaven on the other hand is infinite and it's god is also, along with being all-knowing and all-powerful. This is beyond human comprehension, so to dismiss the idea that it would be a boring place, is to make a conclusion about something that we can know nothing about. When you are resurrected you will be endowed with a new body and a new understanding and you will be able to take infinite joy in praising god forever. And no, I am not a religious person. I am agnostic like most of the rest of you.

This might be a contentious answer, but perhaps the religion I was taught as a child is different to yours. As far as I’m aware there’s nothing stopping people in religion growing as people or a community. They are free to improve their thinking, behaviours, health. Also their very practice As a community has changed: from Catholicism to Martin Luther and the Church of England to churches allowing marriage of vicars, female priests and churches that accept all people like Ted Noffs’ church, where my parents got married btw:

and the under the bridge church in Brisbane that is also welcoming of everyone, I sung there with my non denominational choir and it was so good to see those unable to practice their religion elsewhere accepted and given a safe space.
Just because people believe in some prophet and follow his words, with varying success, often because they conflict with the rest of their holy book, I don’t see them as unchanging. A lot of good is still done in the name of religion. Not sure if it outweighs the bad though
All those educational movies about wanting to prove what you already believe work both ways don’t they?
Glad to hear about your tap situation though sounds much better.

I see your point and agree. Our flexibility is an asset. We should always keep it available. And that's why plumbers
get the big bucks.

I hate doing plumbing! Heaven would suck. Praising a narcissist for eternity and hoping he doesn't flip out and go in a rage. I wonder if you're stuck there? What if you change your mind and want to try something else? Can you go to hell for two weeks? Kind of like taking two weeks in Florida to warm up and get a tan.

"All hope abandon ye who enter here." - Dante had it backwards.
For me, Hell is the abandonment of hope for the future of humanity.

Very nicely stated!

Congrats on getting the faucets dealt with.
