To sheer, if what you say is true, then eventually all of humanity will fall to pieces, the sun will die, all life as we know it in our solar system will come to an end, and maybe eventually, the hopeless cycle will begin again. But even then, every word that has ever been spoken, every idea ever brought to light, and every moral thread ever followed will cease to hold any significance.
But if what we believe is true, then just as Romans 14:11 says, "'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, 'Every knee will bow before me, every tongue will confess to God.'"
None of your logic could remove me from the faith I have in my God, and I will stand with him leading me until the end.
To mitsukai - Far from it. I'm saying that we are basically informational beings, and that all information is eternal, must be eternal, can't be anything but eternal. If you start at one and keep counting, eventually you will come up with (once you convert to the format that makes sense for that type of information) every piece of information that makes up you. Those are eternal things, because they don't require physical matter to exist.

I'm no longer criticizing Christianity because I have a much better understanding both of how it happened and how the key beliefs held in the living minds of Christians are not that different from the key beliefs that are held in the mind of Sheer. If we get in a fight over who is right and who is wrong, we A: ignore the fact that what we believe controls what we experience and in that sense we are both right and B: miss the oppertunity to celebrate that for the most part, we're on the same page and any disagreements we're having are semantic i.e. disagreements because we don't use words quite the same way.
I'm truly grateful for the angels that God has placed in my life.
