I think you mean Sid Meier’s Railroad Tycoon. ;-)

That’s very interesting. I’ve never heard about that. I’ll take a dig sometime soon. An example of dogma changing to suit practical needs. Would be good to know the conditions that are necessary for that to happen.

… they become like angels.

In the sense that they no longer have sexual or romantic urges, would be my reading of that passage. Angels have no belly buttons!

hell, which is supposedly just lonely infinite darkness away from the presence of God

So, “days ending in a Y”

Fascinating. Classism, in heaven. Work yourself to death so that you can enjoy a better neighbourhood of heaven than your neighbour.

Minimize it all you like, but no one ever started a bloody war over “Encounter at Hotpoint”. Yes, all human culture is alike in some ways. Very clever observation. I think you will find that most of the people engaged in this discussion are not even Christian. It’s still significant and meaningful, if not to us personally, to the world we exist in.

This is one of the more interesting, informative and respectful discussions I have seen in a few days. Why shit on it. The age of edgy Internet atheism has passed. It’s okay just to BE an atheist now. No one is coming for you. You can stop fighting.

Many Christians cremate.

Imagine being sent to hell to be a database administrator. MySQL and Access, obviously

Presumably Limbo too, then

THE FACTORY MUST GROW

That humans eventually become angels.

Though, there was one human who did, in an apocryphal book. And then was elevated yet again to being a second diety; there were apparently strains of Christianity which were DUOtheistic! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch

I understand the point being made, but don’t knock gruel.

There is no ethical consumption.

“What, me worry?”

Confusing headline. Nestlé is still called “Nestlé”. They sold the plant in 2021, I guess that is what is meant by “formerly Nestlé”.

St Peter doesn’t judge you! He’s always depicted with a book that already contains the judgements. He has no real authority, he’s just the gatekeeper.

I know the rhetorical point you are making, but prisons are not free housing. In Ontario, they are terrifyingly outdated, under regulated, unsupervised hellholes.

There’s more than just that. There is hatred of the poor, which exists in every class. A phenomenon we’re all very familiar with but which does not even have a name. It’s always politically advantageous to attack the poor, and it rarely wins elections to attack poverty.

So that’s “no, not really.” At least, that’s my understanding, also.

Ah, that bastion of social responsibility. If the only thing I know about someone is that they are on Twitch, I’m probably not motivated to learn a second thing about them. One can say Twitch > 4chan > Stormfront, but it’s a pretty shallow gradient.
