"YH Question of the Day."

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?

Yeah, with an endless supply of sugar too. No cockroaches either.

I don't see it that way, since I'm living on the pricipal that there isn't an afterlife in the first place, it won't be any surprise to me will it?

If I'm right, you wouldn't be able to change in the afterlife though, it's what you do during life. It's a question of believing, even though you don't have to, and even when people don't want you to.

But of course it's your life, I'm not trying to persuade you or anything, just putting down my opinion. Where's Goaty, eh? {:)

Unless of course there is no afterlife of sorts for those who don't earn a place in it. In which case you're stuffed IB. :-)

More than a tiny little bit. But a question for you is, is there a heaven for ants?

Why should anything else matter to me?

I can be as evil and uncaring as I want to in this life, because as you said yourself, people can change, and unless your God is a rash judgemental sonofabitch, then I can change in the afterlife and he can forgive me and send me on my way to paradise.

If it doesn't work that way, then I'll freely renounce your God right now.

Quick question though IB...assuming you live to that rule, doesn't life seem just a tiny bit pointless?

Then again, that's all that matters to you, I suppose.

Maybe for you.

We're born, we live, we die.

God has nothing to do with it.
