Going to Heaven When You Die

Brilliant.

HAHA! Story of my life! (the proving people wrong part was brilliant btw!)

I want to have you're babies before you die and prove all those religious saps wrong, please ♥

How can you prove people wrong if you're right... you're just dead. If religious people are right then they can stand at the front of the line to get to Heaven and rub it in the atheist's faces.

What you're refering to is called Pascal's Wager, and is one of the most stupid arguments ever.

Keep up the good work, Matt!

What you're referring to is your lack of the ability to take a joke.

You'd be surprised at how many people don't see that as a joke.

For those interested in philosophy, here's the wikipedia article for Pascal's Wager:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_Wager

I don't really agree with his conclusion, but the logic leading up to it sure is interesting.

see there is another gambit, while not as renowned, that is much more interesting when it comes to living life to the fullest, it goes by the name beeblebrox's gambit. Instead of implementing decision theory it focuses on drunken theory and uses drunken logic as the main argument

yep i really would like that this just end IMAGINE if i get bored living what could you possibly do in heaven D. with any of the fun things ...

matt, find a different article please. everyone knows that anyone can edit wikipedia. hell i could go to the article on AIDS and make a whole bunch of stuff up. like saying its a disease of the mind and so on.

So clueless... Errors in wikiarticles are corrected almost immediately, I once wrote a silly article on the Swedish wikipedia and even there they deleted it and banned my ip from changing more articles in less than a minute. Also, in wikiarticles actually worth reading the sources are always listed and in many articles they even mark what claim comes from which source! Also, just by reading the article you really should be able to understand if it's bogus or not...

Sure, try changing the AIDS-article to something silly and see how long it stays that way!

It actually depends on the article. If you searched Aids and chose the first article it would be read alot so of course banned immeadiately. I did one on page six about south park and it stayed there for near a fortnight.

No one cares about South Park, that's probably why. If you want to know more about Pascal's Wager above what's already written on the wiki, or if you want to confirm the information written there, I suggest you check the sources and go to your local library.

Exactly how do you prove people wrong by dying and neither go to heaven nor hell, but instead just stop existing? Since you don't exist you can't share your findings and since they're alive they cannot know what happened to you!

that's kind of the joke ...

Only bad thing is that if you're right, you can't gloat about it. However, if you happen to be wrong, then you have an eternity of people rubbing it in your face about how you were wrong.

Heaven isn't be all it's cracked up to be if people can still be dicks to you. And for eternity? Sounds like I'm going to Hell.

Way to repeat what I said lol

Honestly, I don't think Pascal's Wager is that bad of a bet... Though I'm going for the finite fun/infinite DOOM, it doesn't really matter to me

It's an incredibly bad bet if you think about all the faiths there are out there (there are thousands). What's the chance you pick the right one if you had to bet? Slim to none.

God is laughing at you right now, Matt.

All i see when i come in here is Matt avatar getting the twitter bird from behind.

so true lol

What if you die..... and go to heaven???

I imagine the afterlife as a great big circle of 'Duck, Duck, Goose.' Afterall, what else can you do? You're fucking dead.

matt, matt, matt, don't you know the hindus were right? its reincarnation... not afterlife.

And what happens after Armageddon? when everything dies and there's nothing left to reincarnate into...

then we grow bat wings, watch cheers all day, and float in the outermost regions of space

The Jehovas came to my door the other day and after they were done their "Jesus Upselling" they asked me if I was "expecting". I promptly told them that I was just fat and went back inside. I then realized that I should have told them;
"Naw, I'm just going to keep on sinning, but then they'll be more Heaven for you guys!"

I read RWF first, so I'm not sure who copied who or if it's all just a huge coincidence, but I went straight from RWF to this, which is kinda freaky!! :P

Becoming a ghost LOOKS fun.
Than going to heaven.

funny how some people just don't get it.
