Lets pretend there is a Heaven after all....

Lets just assume there is one,

For example, if I went to heaven would Confucius be 1000x more wiser than he was when he was alive, and lets not get into that, but he was chinese and they don’t believe in heaven stuff…I’m pretending here, would I be just as wise because I’m in heaven and the whole world makes sense now?
On the same note, lets pretend I was married and I died and my wife and I were madly in love and we said all those sappy things married couples say “We’ll be together some day, I love you” but several years later she falls in love with someone else and marries, does that mean I will spend eternity with her and her new husband? anyways just a couple questions I thought you smart people could answer…thanks :slight_smile:

Well, as long as you’re pretending, you can make up the rules, can’t you?

I’m not a theologist (or, for that matter, a theist), so I can’t answer you. But those that could would need a more specific question. Describe this heaven. At least tell us which of the 68 gazillion varieties of religion you’re asking about.

The quesions you ask are about as specific as, “If I met a foreigner, what language would he speak?”


“If you prick me, do I not…leak?” --Lt. Commander Data

My idea of heaven is, if you happened to get there and asked God those smart-aleck questions, he’d give you a noogie and maybe an atomic wedgie to teach you not to be a wise guy.

Well since Saltire and AW can’t answer you without being a smartass, or with a decent answer to your question. I will try.

Although I am agnostic, I will give it my best shot. From what I understand of a basic Christian idea of Heaven, everyone is equal and loves everyone else. So Confucius wouldn’t be smarter than everyone, and your wife, you and her husband would all love one another. You must remember, that in heaven your really wouldn’t suffer from jealousy.

Hope that somewhat answers your question.

Let’s pretend that GQ is for questions for which there might acually be an answer.

As long as we’re just saying, can I be taller?
