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.

Chorus:All my ex’s live in texasAnd texas is the place I’d dearly love to beBut all my ex’s live in texasAnd that’s why I hang my hat in tennessee
Rosanna’s down in texarkanaWanted me to push her broomSweet eileenõs in abileneShe forgot I hung the moonAnd allisonõs in galvestonSomehow lost her sanityAnd dimpleõs who now lives in temple’sGot the law looking for me
Chorus
I remember that old frio riverWhere I learned to swimBut it brings to mind another timeWhere I wore my welcome thinBy transcendental meditationI go there each nightBut I always come back to myselfLong before daylight
All my ex’s live in texasAnd texas is the place I’d dearly love to beBut all my ex’s live in texasTherefore I reside in tennessee
Some folks think I’m hidin’It’s been rumored that I diedBut I’m alive and well in tennessee

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

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)

― 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.

I don't think anyone is doing this.
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.

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").
