on Saturdays?

Why not every day? It's Heaven, what else are you going to do?

[Orange Wizard]

It's mostly speculative, but the general impression seems to be that people will have jobs to do. Some passages make a few mentions of stuff like feasting and singing praises to God.

Ultimately, I don't actually know. It really is just educated guesswork, and it's fairly silly to base expectations around it.

[Graknorke]

I thought they were praising God all the time?

[Orange Wizard]

So, 1 Corinthians 10:31 says "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
Praising God doesn't have to be active, e.g., actually going around shouting "God is great, et cetera". The general expectation is that you go about your normal life, but with a desire to please God in what you do.

Not to say that making a really great cake is pleasing to God, per se, but rather (as I understand it) he is pleased by a person practising and refining their skills in cake making. Or whatever other skill is relevant.

I'm not sure if that was a very good explanation.

He's trying to raise earth's gross value so that he can unlock the Alien Invasion. The inconsistancies in the bible can be explained easily if we admit that the universe have DLC.


(Yes I'm writing some kind of video-game based theological philosophy. As I said, playing Dwarf Fortress is the closest you can be to being an actual god)

[Helgoland]

Fairly good, I think. IIRC this is a big thing in Judaism - everyday life is prayer in itself.

[TD1]

Yea, no. One does not try to change someone's mind

FTFY

Nah, it can be hard to change a person's mind, but you can convince something their maths equation is incorrect through demonstration or argument. You can't disprove God because he's conveniently unprovable.

Ya another thing that I'll have to find the verse for

There are supposedly odd creatures that roam about heaven and I'd like to say adventures are to be had there with those sorts of animals
Maybe not killing them but riding around on them and having races with them or training them to do stuff
That would be fun

Training a legion of flying eyeball critters to dance


Yup this is the crap I come up with in the morning

The eternal movie

Huh, so all those people claiming to have Spirit Animals may actually have been correct...but they just have to wait until they get t heaven.

Well, okay, to Hell, because they don't believe in God along with the majority of people on Earth

Then that would be.. 'How to train your demon'

[penguinofhonor]

I'm pretty sure the "flying eyeball critters" are angels.

[Graknorke]

Aren't those angels and stuff though? I think it would be a bit demeaning to make massively powerful soldier things race for your amusement.

[penguinofhonor]

Spoiler: i need to know what ANGEL to use (click to show/hide)
