No fiery crashes? You can at least make one up so he won't be dissapointed.

No fiery crashes but the golf cart incident was interesting to say the least. Regardless...I'm impressed that a couple of you actually handled this question with such quickness.

Impressive Buck knowledge around here.

So I didn't come up with this great quagmire to stump the Big Man on afterall. Oh well...better to know just in case I guess. :biggrin:

I was thinking today...how I always seem to get into major accidents and sports related incidents and what not (in '06 alone: severe concussion, sports hernia, separated collar bone at sternum, broken ribs, broken ear drum, bruised spleen, losss of smell & taste) & got to thinking, if I get married and I die young because of something stupid...would I want my wife to get re-married, and then I said yes. After that, I came up with another perplexing question that has never crossed my mind.


Curious what others think about this. What happens in heaven (assuming you believe in heaven as I do) if a woman marries a man, and he dies (or vice versa) and gets re-married. When all three die, who ends up with who in heaven? Under the assumption also that in heaven you meet up with your passed loved ones...what happens? This thought originated in my last ER visit, but just came to the surface in all of its glory tonight.


What do you think? Maybe some of you fellow hardcore religious types could answer this. As a devout Christian, I still can't say I have a clue.

Without reading any further than your post, I would say that a religious person would say that everyone is a child of God in heaven, without personal or past relationships really mattering. Everyone would love each other equally, as God intended it to be.

I'm not extremely religious, but I have been on a couple of retreats / youth groups that have got me thinking, and taught me the basics. That's just how I would answer it from my knowledge.


Something that could counter your example is what about the people with not many loved ones? What about a child who grows up being abused, hurt, and never shown love by anyone? What if that child dies young, or really if anyone out there who is completely unhappy with life, goes on to heaven? Would it be fair for those with blessed lives on earth to have an advantage in the afterlife?

I think there isn't any reason to believe we carry our human problems/desires, etc... along with us in heaven, and thus - whoever said we'll just love everyone equally is "right." I don't expect my marriage to Buckeyeryn here on Earth to be "recognized" in heaven and I don't expect that I'll care one way or another who's she hanging out with in heaven, because I don't believe jealousy will be part of my heaven. Hell, it's not even a very big part of my Earthly reality.

One thing that I've never understood about Heaven are the day-to-day realties of it. Since only my soul goes to Heaven (as my body will be cremated), what the hell am I going to do all day? Everything I enjoy now; sex, drinking, looking at porn, playing sports, watching TV/movies, playing video games, reading, surfing the net, eating, jacking off, etc., I won't be able to do without a body. I'll be bored to death (no pun intended) after the first week and will need to stir shit up with everyone else in an attempt to amuse myself and everyone will be sick of me in no time. And eternity is a hell of a long time. I'd imagine after a few thousand years you would probably have met everyone from history that that you had always wanted to talk to and discussed everything you could possibly think of. Then what do you talk about over the next quadtrillion years? I truly hope there's no Heaven as it sounds more like Hell to me.

The whole idea of Heaven is something much better / more fulfilling than things like that. If you ever talk to someone with a very strong faith, you immedietly realize how happy they are, all the time, and don't need earthly desires to complete them.

I'm not there yet, but it seems to be really great to be able to be happy like that just with faith alone, not to mention what it would be like in Heaven.

I'm tremendously happy in my own life now, which is why I'd like to continue what I'm doing in my next life. Happiness is one thing, but I think you also need purpose and stimulation to be fulfilled. Otherwise Heaven is just a bunch of souls in a vegetative state who are sitting around smiling at each other for eternity.

Heaven forbid someone gets bored in paradise! Just continue along your current path and I doubt it will be an issue. :tongue2:
