Is there gravity in Heaven?

[Ben90]

What does the bible have to say about this? I'm moderately concerned since I hope its not at like 1G.

 

[FelixDeCat]

The gravity of love.

Eternal form of heaven is combined with physical universe/earth.

So: yes

 

[Ben90]

So Africa is in Heaven? Doesn't sound that great after all...

Well, it's a new earth. A perfect one, pristine and unpolluted.

Africa wouldn't be bad at all if that subterranean water were on the surface and if people (namely everyone, including Europeans) hadn't been messing up the continent for so long.
There are plenty of beautiful places in Africa as it is.

Makes me want to watch Planet Earth and Life again...

I wish I could set gravity at 0.7G. Less gravity might be fun for a while, but I think .7 would be awesome long term.

How is everyone going to be able to cram into heaven after a few more centuries? Seems like the whole place is going to turn into downtown NYC. Would god make us our own space elevator or would we need to figure it out?

to be fair, the continent was messed up long before the europeans.

Now that Diablo is dead, there'll be room down in hell as well.

Don't worry, the majority of us will be burning in hell.

Who cares about gravity?

Is there beer, casual sex and really good drugs in heaven?

A joy and love that surpass the need for these temporary hungers.

But unity with God isn't something anyone can sell you on; it's not like there's some great stick or great carrot. Either you want to leave a life of service to your fleshly lust and prideful desire or you don't. (most people tell me that they don't)

Bollocks.

 

[Dr. Zaus]

Bollocks.

I've got a hope for something I can't see; but it has helped me and my brothers and parents greatly in moving past the drunken, coke-addicted, ignorance of my parents.*

So, you see, what you are calling bullshit on I've already seen happen, here on earth, because of faith. This has been all the reward I've needed to be a believer for as-long as I live.



I like this 'bullshit' on the bible:

I think most people don't understand the value of the bible because of ignorant people that call the whole thing 100% factual-history (a concept that didn't even fing exist at the time of the old testament) The stuff about Jesus in the new-testament is much more reliable. Though this episode also has some factual errors.

*there are bio-physical and evolutionary explanations for this experience; but I offer no 'science' to prove my faith; Faith and miracles are how I see it because of the experiences I've lived through. Though, there is a lot of good info on Jesus: historicity historic

gravity is just a theory, so the answer must be no

If gravity is a theory, then evolution must a fairy tale for you.

I thought 4G was supposed to be heaven. That's why Steve let go.

Who else thought this was going to be a pick up line when reading the title?

It must be lower than 1G because a simple pair of wings can make you fly. Those wings would have to be the size of boxcars at 1G.

I'd rather have the temporary hungers.

Have pity for the lost, people.

 

[Charles Kozierok]

But unity with God isn't something anyone can sell you on...

Then why do so many people spend so much time and effort and money trying to do exactly that?

 

[Dr. Zaus]

That's pretty much what I hear; I can't judge anyone for having fun; I mean wtf stupid shit would that be?!

For the most part, they are bad at reading and good at listening to what their traditions tell them. For me, I think it's selfish not to let people know what I've seen, in-case someone is in a bad spot and feels what I've seen might help.

I used to be much more zealous in this regard (knocking on my neighbors doors); but I honestly don't think there's much of anyone out there that doesn't know "the good news".
