Will I see my ex's in heaven?

Let say for a moment it's true: when I die, I'll go the light and hang out with my friends and loved ones in His Kingdom.

However, will ex-girlfriends be there? Will they look as I remember them (hot) or as they looked at the time of departing? And if we didn't get along in 2002, will we get along in Heaven? Can I see them all whenever I feel or will I no longer have worldly lust? Please advise.

they will be in heaven, but rather than take up with you upon yr arrival they will have already run off with cavemen, pirates, or Jimi Hendrix.

Your exes will either be in Heaven, or in the other place - Texas.

xpoast That's a good point, if you've moved on. But what about the 'true' love you had when you were 22, followed by the 44 years of agonizing slow death you had with you 'wife.' Can you do a little switcharoo, and maybe your wife can hang out with her first beau of something?

andy --, Wednesday, 5 April 2006 21:22 (twenty years ago)

Not only will all your exes be there, but every sperm you've sinfully wasted gets to live in Heaven and they are gonna be pissed.

In heaven you will see them as God sees them - ie., you will see their inner spiritual beauty.

Inner spiritual beauty's a real turn-off.

thank you, punctuator!

it's heaven. it'll be okay. stop james bonding it

mookieproof (mookieproof), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 21:27 (twenty years ago)

Okay, punctuation: The plural of cd is cds. Right?

And the plural of ex would be exs. You see why we install the apostrophe, nobody would know what the fuck exs is.

andy --, Wednesday, 5 April 2006 21:30 (twenty years ago)

Box = Boxes
Ex = Exes

A Van That's Loaded With Mushy Peas (noodle vague), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 21:31 (twenty years ago)

Okay, what is the plural of 'hi'? As in "Did you get to say all your his and goodbyes?" No, it's fucking hi's and goodbyes.

andy --, Wednesday, 5 April 2006 21:37 (twenty years ago)

the apostrophe is POSSESSIVE people. It does not indicate plurality! wtf get one grammar

I understand what it's supposed to do; I also understand that there is a common folk-usage for clarification in these matters.

Please clearly pluralize 'Hi' without the apostrophe and I'll shut up.

They know it's wrong, but it's SO SO right.

andy --, Wednesday, 5 April 2006 21:45 (twenty years ago)

the correct answer is there is no plural of "hi" (which is not a noun, its a greeting)

Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 21:45 (twenty years ago)

it's, mofo

mookieproof (mookieproof), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 21:46 (twenty years ago)

less grammar more boning.

Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 21:46 (twenty years ago)

Regardless of how "hi" is pluralized, "ex" follows the same rule as "box" or "ax" or "fix" or any other word ending in X.

jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 21:47 (twenty years ago)

If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they’d never match
My sweet imagination
And everything looks worse in black and white

Abbott (Abbott), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 21:48 (twenty years ago)

hello is a noun; hi is a noun.

andy --, Wednesday, 5 April 2006 21:48 (twenty years ago)

then the plural IS His.

s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 21:52 (twenty years ago)

just because the plural form is confusing-looking doesn't mean you get to throw in whatever crazy folk art apostrophe-worshipping hooha you like!

s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 21:52 (twenty years ago)

ski = skis
hi = his

ALL MY EX'S LIVE IN TEXAS

Chorus:
All my ex’s live in texas
And texas is the place I’d dearly love to be
But all my ex’s live in texas
And that’s why I hang my hat in tennessee

Rosanna’s down in texarkana
Wanted me to push her broom
Sweet eileenõs in abilene
She forgot I hung the moon
And allisonõs in galveston
Somehow lost her sanity
And dimpleõs who now lives in temple’s
Got the law looking for me

Chorus

I remember that old frio river
Where I learned to swim
But it brings to mind another time
Where I wore my welcome thin
By transcendental meditation
I go there each night
But I always come back to myself
Long before daylight

All my ex’s live in texas
And texas is the place I’d dearly love to be
But all my ex’s live in texas
Therefore I reside in tennessee

Some folks think I’m hidin’
It’s been rumored that I died
But I’m alive and well in tennessee

hi = his

the man from mars won't eat up bars where the tv's on (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 22:05 (twenty years ago)

ex" follows the same rule as "box" or "ax" or "fix" or any other word ending in X.

This should've been " 'box,' 'ask' or 'fix'" and it would've been better.

andy, "hi" ain't nohow a noun, it's a fucking interjection.

phil d. (Phil D.), Wednesday, 5 April 2006 22:50 (twenty years ago)

"hi" can be a noun if you're speaking about it abstractly. like how "after we said our hellos..."* hellos is a plural noun.

*helloes?

grammatically speaking, the sentence "we said our his" is incorrect for all kinds of reasons. Asking how to correctly spell a grammatically incorrect phrase = *head explodes*

dude, what is this? You never use apostrophes for plurals, unless you are WRONG. Anyway, everyone knows the plural of "ex" is "exen".

AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 3 September 2017 18:34 (eight years ago)

Presumably the exes you see in your heaven aren't actually them because that would open the possibility of preclusion of their own heavenly preferences

thanks everyone

what spurred her saying she would call is she thought she saw me wearing green pants

unfortunately she doesn't know me that well it seems because I would never wear something like that :-/ anyways she's pretty flaky so I'm not going to take this one too seriously

no exes in heaven bc heaven is entirely incorporeal. yes exes after resurrection of the dead tho.

All of human conflict is based on misunderstanding; in heaven all of these misunderstandings, deriving from ego, will have vanished and thus we will all be ecstastic living according to the Truth, which we will have finally uncovered. So everyone will want the same things.

It's pretty lame.

cajunsunday, Monday, 4 September 2017 12:29 (eight years ago)

daniel's take is more in line with my own understanding; in order to be 'with god' you have to shed all the imperfections of your mortal form including your desires and feelings towards your exes. you have no say in heaven whatsoever; it's the ultimate indignity.

ogmor, Monday, 4 September 2017 14:33 (eight years ago)

it's almost like heaven is a bullshit concept made up to help people deny the finality of death

Wesley Shackleton explained "look at that beast." (bizarro gazzara), Monday, 4 September 2017 14:40 (eight years ago)

yeah that's right i'm hardmanning heaven, god can take me to court if i'm wrong

Wesley Shackleton explained "look at that beast." (bizarro gazzara), Monday, 4 September 2017 14:41 (eight years ago)

I think that was the crucial choice with heaven and hell - either you rage eternally in the fires of your own consciousness or you dissolve your person into the warm bath of the godhead. you don't get to have exes in heaven, everyone is part of an undivided parmenidean whole.

ogmor, Monday, 4 September 2017 14:44 (eight years ago)

this is also what most materialist atheists believe too though more or less; your brief period of conscious life is a little wrinkle in the cosmos that is ironed out at your death. you can't have an ex once your energies and atoms are spread across the universe. only hell really allows for the persistence of exes beyond the grave.

ogmor, Monday, 4 September 2017 14:49 (eight years ago)

Look

If we're talking what one will actually experience after death I'm out before we get ppl attacking *~atheists~*

Heaven obv imo sold as not-this, but the not-this advertised definitely calls for ogmor's process to occur, be it a surrendering of all the elements presumed to cause differences between individuals in life or be it a mass lobotomy.

Essentially it gives me the same pause my economics teacher did on day one when he says "first assume infinite food" and I immediately started edging for the door

In a way I think the main promise of heaven is that everything will finally make sense. And while x-ianity isn't as gung-ho about pointing out this means a collective universal consciousness (and thus loss of individual ego) as some Eastern religions it is pretty heavily implied, imo.

Daniel_Rf, Monday, 4 September 2017 16:32 (eight years ago)

Not suggesting anyone was doing it but they're out there mannnn

It's definitely implied re "don't worry it'll be groovy man" it's just heavily reliant on a number of trippy assumptions once you like them up

your exes are all in heaven and the ones you want to sleep with you all want to. as well, anybody else who is in heaven who wants you to sleep with them, you want to, even if you don't right now. heaven maintains individual consciousness but desires enter a hyperfluid plasma state where our consciousness's attachment to things we want and don't want dissolves, and so at any given instant you desire whatever it is that would fulfill the desires of others. since time is infinitely extended this it easy enough to accommodate even multiple independent desires (in the same way that the infinite set of all whole numbers can be divided to form the half-as-large infinite set of odd numbers - heaven permits second-to-second microscheduling of fulfilling the desires of others). you also don't have a fixed physical body besides wings and a halo obv so this too transforms continually as needed. if someone made it into heaven whose dream it is that you will sleep with them for a thousand years and your hands and feet are replaced with the heads of snails, you will want that too and it will happen. this is basic sunday school stuff guys cmon.

Mordy, Monday, 4 September 2017 17:35 (eight years ago)

the film "the end of evangelion" paired with the final episode of the related tv show gets across a lot of the essential points for me. dissolution of ego into unconditional love (admittedly in this case distributed by a clone of a strangled 14-year-old girl who's merged with a giant seven-eyed monster but still) simultaneous with the resolution of all the most heartfelt needs of that ego ("congratulations").
