Given the christian god's character, I would think heaven is nothing more than the faithful praising their god forever and ever. Not better than what Hell is said to be, in my opinion.

You know, once we have FTL flight and can colonize distant worlds, it'll be much easier to just tell them to go find someplace else to live. Same could go for the more fanatical/violent/'kill everybody who don't submit to your will' sects of islam, so that they'll just beat themselves to death instead of other people.

We don't even know if FTL travel is even possible. As for fanatics, they crave those they can condemn. Otherwise it just gets boring.

Its just a thought, and besides, FTL travel, if possible, is centuries away (despite Star Trek lore).

That would actually be disturbing on so many levels.

One of their churches has been bombed already.

I don't like it. I really can't condone an action like that and whoever did it is scum, in my eyes at least.

Knowing God's poetic sense, I imagine heaven's pleasures are more of a return to simplicity and plenty than everyone being able to play TF2 with 0 ping.

Though if he let us do that, He'd be the coolest god ever.

If he'd let us do that, why stop at our puny mortal computer games? LARP TF2. With real guns, distorted physics, pain as a goofy tingly sensation, and finally some sportsmanlike communications.

"Great headshot, Jeff!" "Oh why thank you Bob, you know you blew my leg off with that rocket?" "Did I indeed? Well jolly good." *Resurrect*

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

I wonder if God enjoys memes? I can imagine Jesus playing a Medic in LARPTF2, and just throwing meds at people shouting "Pills here!"

Yeah, that would be fun.

I don't get the WBC's message.  They seem to be split between "It's already too late!  You will burn in hell!" and "Repent now!!".  It's like they can't choose whether they want people to grovel before them or have the smug satisfaction of thinking everyone else is going to hell.

Don't go there, man. I want them to shut their mouths and stop waving their god-damned signs as much as the next guy, but wanting them to be blown up is quite extreme.

Yeah, that would be fun.

Yeah, they're pretty hypocritical like that. "YOU'RE GOING TO HELL. SO REPENT, BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU DO YOU'RE GOING TO HELL." Which is not what I got from the Bible at all.

I would love LAH (Live Action Heavened) TF2.
