The part that says "Chocolate cake!" "Sex!" and so on, or the part that says "You will get fat!" or is it the part that says "Pick your nose" and "Scratch your head"? or maybe it's that part that says "Something is poking you in the foot!"
That's what I'd like to know. Anyone can tell that consciousness and experience are segmented in the qualia. Anyone who's ever had a bout of cognitive dissonance, or had the urge to do something while simultaneously had the urge to do something completely different.
if you no longer eat; why would you think of chocolate cake? if you no longer have a body; why think of sex? if you don't have a foot; how can something be poking it?
there are things you don't know and i'm not here to educate you. you will know when you've arrived.0 -

Then there is absolutely no purpose for the mind at all.
I think you've just proven that there is no heaven.I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire0 -

According to this research, the Bible is silent regarding an afterlife for animals.

No animals in heaven? I think I would be miserable without the presence of animals.Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

Matthew chapter 7, verses 13 and 14 (Mat 7:13,14) for one example. Therefore, it is critical that we remind everyone that they need to get right with God themselves or their chances of seeing a departed pet again are zero.

Here's another take: Animals must have a soul. God doesn't create something only to throw it away.
edit also:
"According to the Bible, there will be no animals in heaven except for horses. And those horses, the book of Revelation tells us, will be used solely as a means of transportation. Scripture tells us that horses will sprout wings and be able to fly at high speeds. "
omg this has to be a joke:

What about sharks? Humans cut off their dorcal fin just to throw the shark into the water to bleed to death, or be killed, or just die on its own.
We throw them away. And if humans were made in "god's image"...ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you.

Maybe in pet Heaven... they're the ones that feed us.

Christian 1: "I'm going to die, the doctor gave me 3 weeks to live."
Christian 2: "Good news! Say hi to grandpa for me!"
Why is it that when I go to a funeral, the Christian folks ball their eyes out weeping "Why? Why does it have to be this way?" and the one atheist (me) smiles in delight that so many arrived to honour the life of a loved one, and I take joy in knowing that they led a good and fruitful life.

That's what i'm wondering. I mean, do you have to make a trip to Hell to get a descent steak dinner or what?Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions! Go Jayhawks!

Ok I think I found the "answer". Basically, heaven is what you want it to be. If you want your pets there..they will be there.

Yup - that's a similar question...CJMST3K wrote:If you're born with a severe mental handicap and die at the age of 3, do you go to heaven? If yes, are you still handicapped? And are you still 3? And do you still age? If you do age, can you die?
I mean - OBVIOUSLY god made you that way. So I assume you would stay that way, since god made you that way.ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you.

What if I want the devil to be there with me, and for him to duke it out with god to the "death"? ...and pets too?
So I get my wish?
...also, what if I want to be with a deceased wife, but an old girlfriend wants to be with me? Who's version of heaven prevails?ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you.

First you have to go to pergatory, because God isn't sure yet what to do with you.
