Is heaven real?

[Elf Supremacist]

Wait, am I misinterpreting Revelation 21:16 or does it not refer to a city rather a literal cube? Besides, a city can have an area of 1,500 square miles (12,000 stadia). The Tokyo Metropolitan Area is like 5,000 square miles.

That's how a lot of people interpret it, as a massive cube. I am in that camp because it seems to be closer to what the text is describing

That's a novel and honestly strange interpretation for me. I was taught it simply referred to the height of the tallest building and the boundaries of the city forming a perfect cube in its most literal interpretation.

Edit: Mind you, it's still wild but imagining it as a literal, massive cube seems even stranger to me.

I'm not religious.

So, I don't think it's real, and it's pretty much hopeful thinking that for some reason you'd have this place/dimension to hold your "soul" (which I don't believe you have) for eternity, either in an enlightened state, or as a more comical representation, a theme park where you do fun things.

I believe your consciousness is the closest thing you have to a "soul", and it is dictated by causality: what you feel, how you are, and how you think is dependent on the substance of the universe (the matter of your body and chemical reactions that advance its state).

Once that is over and you die, whatever it was that was generating that consciousness no longer does so, your "signal" is off until it can be replicated again (which is highly unlikely, and maybe technically impossible as an exact replica).

If it's not, then that't it, and of course no magical place where your being is stored, out of nowhere.

Did you generate this with AI?

No, that's just the unmitigated power of purestrain schizophrenia.

Don’t know

 

[Fek]

Yep, though it's quite distorted as it is presented in the Bible. It also isn't just a singular place. Technically, you're in 1 of them right now.

Unfortunately there is absolutely no evidence for heaven and no reason you should believe in it.

Nobody can know, nobody (recently) has come back. One day we will all find out.

 

[HOMO FOR LIFE RETURNS]

Metaphysical world is real.....I don't think no one argues for non existence because it's simply not observable and repeatable.
