human don't have the desire to be immortal they did a survey and the majority said they would prefer **not** to live past 110 years

Did that survey factor in not aging,and not getting illnesses and becoming weaker?

And isn't that what makes religion so attractive , the promise of an eternal life?

by Anonymous 10 years ago

sure that's a part of the attraction but there's other stuff too but I don't find Hell attractive Heaven is very attractive as for you first question: immortality doesn't require those things

The results would clearly be the opposite if that was factored in. What would you do for eternity in heaven, wouldn't you eventually get eternally bored? Would you be praising God all the time? Wouldn't it be better to just blink out of existance?

well since it's Heaven I sincerely doubt one gets bored this world can't really compare to the afterlife, can it? assuming boredom is a bad feeling there's no place for bad feelings in Heaven I'd be perfectly happy praising God all the time

I don't know. Eternal bliss just seems so airy fairy. And existing forever sounds exhausting. Would you be able to feel negative emotions in heaven? Because if not it would be like I'm not really me, but like I was drugged to be forever in paradise. Oh god I would go insane! It just seems so cruel, egotistical ,vain and maniacal to create something and then have it praise you for eternity. Like your God! Why do you need people to worship you ?

God doesn't need people to worship God was there before people existed you're entitled to your opinion but I disagree again this life isn't very comparable with the next life we're very limited in our knowledge that includes knowledge about the afterlife

Probably. He sure commands it as well as the acknowledgement of his existance. And what if you knew someone close to you was suffering in hell? Would it be really be heaven? I agree. Yet so many people are certain it exists.

I feel certain because of many things Abrahamic religions: they came in the order Judaism, Christianity, and Islam Prophets from different time periods shared the same messages the Qur'an contains information that people during the time it was revealed could not have possibly have known I got this link from this one post on here: http://www.quranmiracles.com/ it has also has stood the test of time to the point that not a single letter has been changed after 14 centuries people have not been able to change it Prophet Muhammad was illiterate yet some still claim he copied the Bible but he didn't http://www.onislam.net/english/ask-about-islam/society-and-family/interfaith-issues/166233-did-prophet-muhammad-copy-the-bible.html during his time there wasn't even an Arabic translation of the Bible ....................................................... I don't have answers to all the questions though that we can agree on

Are these scientific predictions actually straight-forwardly mentioned in the book?Or is it like all vague and metaphorical that there meaning could be stretched to fit a scientific discovery that has existing proof. Funny how some people claim that since there are a lot of stories in the bible, as well as examples of their beliefs that seem to be copied from other religions, and mythologies.

well religion existed before Judaism so that makes sense plus http://www.onislam.net/english/ask-the-scholar/quran-and-hadith/sciences-of-the-quran/175605.html

and what I mean by that is perhaps mythologies got those beliefs from previous religions considering that there were many prophets Adam, Noah, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, etc (pbuta) sharing the same messages believing in the same God another thing to note is that most holy books have been altered

How does the desire to be immortal mean that they have a sexual gratification from physical abuse....?

by Anonymous 10 years ago

Not that definition.

by Anonymous 10 years ago

masochism also involves other kinds of gratification
