        Gambling is bad because of the consequences of gambling when you have finite resources to lose. I assume that any form of heaven is post-scarcity so betting is done just for recreational purposes.

            There’s as much evidence of that as for any other idea of heaven or the existence of an heaven at all

            Similar to how they think god is like a father or king but nice, plus obviously the smartest and strongest and best at everything and can totally beat up YOUR dad?

        Man I called that, along with probably a ton of others, from the very first episode. Still, the writers did such a good job with it I was not disappointed that the very obvious twist indeed was the twist.

        Also for some reason, not sure if it’s just my app (Sync) but your spoiler tags didn’t work right. Idk why you have >!spoiler and not just >! Like if it’s my app making it display wrong or that breaks the tag beats me.

        Could also, maybe more likely, be the end tag being --!< That might fuck up the syntax.

    I have a theory that when people go to church, they go for the intention to change their privacy settings, and the priest just reads out each setting and people do the cross to agree with each setting.

    I have gotten no evidence of the contrary so it must be true! /s

    Fun fact:

    The Bible says everyone goes to heaven at the same time. So I guess the souls just chill out until the rapture happens?

      A plain reading suggests that everyone is dead and stays that way until the eschaton when they’re resurrected. So the only people in heaven would be the Jewish souls that Jesus directly put there that had been dwelling in the gloomy underground afterlife.

      heaven is not a place you go. it’s a state of you, your surroundings and the world. we create it not get taken to it. that’s the hard part people don’t get. NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE US, WE WILL NOT BE MAGICALLY TELEPORTED ANYWHERE

        Of course I won’t be teleported, I’ll just slowly ascend into the sky, where the oxygen thins out, and I eventually freeze solid in the vacuum of space.

        As much as this sounds negative, the optimistic nihilist in me sees it as a beautiful liberating realization.

            Yeah that’s what I was getting at. But so many people are conditioned to think the opposite. Say those last couple sentences to a random Christian in my town and they will think it’s the darkest and possibly most hateful shit they’ve heard in a long time.

      I think that’s the Dispensationalist view, but I’m not sure how much of that is explicitly supported by Biblical text. Someone could correct me if I’m wrong.

    I close my bedroom door. I can’t stop them from watching but I can at least warn them. Why would they want to watch anyway. That’s weird.

      It’s probably like watching porn for them. I bet God even watched Jesus while he fucked hookers in his youth.

    I think there’s nuance to this.

    Any family deceased family member of yours who belongs in heaven is going to give you privacy when you need it

      Or once you see the private lives of every person, all the time, you quickly understand that everyone does weird shit in private and voyeurism just loses its novelty entirely. People fucking or picking their nose will be no more interesting that someone walking down the street.

      How do they know when that time is without having first witnessed some ball gobbling?

      Do we just have ancestors popping in for a check and immediately turning away embarrassed all the time?

      Maybe they have to ask permission at the family spying desk and the attendant will just shake their head and say “umm… Nows really not the best time. Gobble gobble if you catch my drift.”

      I can’t imagine how many embarrassing reunions there would be in heaven, or maybe hell is just filling to the brim lol

      Yeah but my grandmother was 104 when she died. She married my grandfather when she was in her twenties and I really don’t think she was really all that bothered about him it was just the done thing back then.

      She definitely would take the opportunity to be judgy, while at the same time technically passing the requirements by her own standards to be in heaven.

    She has it all wrong: Grandma and her other ancestors aren’t watching from heaven or whatever they’re inside her. Passive guests in her body that get to “live on via their children and grandchildren.” Literally.

    Grandma tasted those balls right along with you, girl! It’s like that saying, “if you’re cold, they’re cold.”

    Why would Grandma care? Grandma’s probably getting her brains fucked out by 13 werewolves while Grandpa’s putting together a catgirl harem. Even if that’s not your kind of grandma, she’s probably very much aware that she should be giving you privacy, lol.
