When you get married, you say "Until death us do part."
Yet surely, when one of the couple dies, they are only apart for a while, until the other dies. And then the couple is reunited again.
So when you get married, you're saying that you won't see each other again after death. Which kind of puts the whole existence of heaven into doubt, and bearing in mind that marriage is a religious ceremony...
Thoughts?

My belief is that those who go to heaven are the ones who will rule over the masses on earth. A government of the best people to ever have lived. Fabulous idea huh?

Simple - an easy way out of marriage, especailly if it's to somebody who turns out to be an absolute b!tch.
Raises a point though. Why does an omnipotent God create a heaven with a limited capacity? Being omniscient as well, I'd assume he'll have forseen how small a fraction that is. So why?

So we have an afterlife because we're smarter than ants?

I've already said that life is pretty pointless. I've accepted this as a fact. So, I'm going to play along and get what I can out of life while I still have it. Then *poof* off to the grave.

Nope, not really. A life without something to work towards other than self-betterment is ultimately pretty pointless though, wouldn't you agree?

Nope, not really. A life without something to work towards other than self-betterment is ultimately pretty pointless though, wouldn't you agree?

I respect your beliefs, and am glad that you respect mine, but my point is, if life for a human being with no chance of an afterlife is pointless, what is life to an ant, for whom there is equally no "earthly paradise"?

I respect your beliefs, and am glad that you respect mine, but my point is, if life for a human being with no chance of an afterlife is pointless, what is life to an ant, for whom there is equally no "earthly paradise"?
