So the asshole who posted this claims after we die and go to heaven it's going to be the same shit that we have right now?!

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 82 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Somebody has to mine the gold the streets are paved with.

I almost spilled my coffee 🤣🤣🤣.

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 25 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Coffee is a drug, so none of that in heaven

[–] _danny@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Technically it's just the caffeine. So you could have decaf in heaven.

[–] Bonehead@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well alright then, I'm out...

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Not really into the gold esthetic anyway.

[–] NounsAndWords@lemmy.world 40 points 11 months ago (1 children)

There is a singular authoritarian dictator. You may not disobey. The punishment for your first infraction is eternal torture.

But otherwise...yes. Getting to heaven is about winning, and you can't be a winner without there being losers.

[–] evranch@lemmy.ca 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

you can't be a winner without there being losers

There's no biblical reasoning why everyone can't go to heaven, losers are not mandatory. In fact in Christianity, "Jesus died for your sins," so supposedly you get a free pass as long as you aren't a big piece of shit.

It's the Jehovah's witnesses that think there is limited space in heaven, it's what motivates them to convert everyone. By converting so many unbelievers, they'll rise up the ranks and get that heaven spot for themself. The people they converted? Doomed to hell, I suppose. A sacrifice to get them into heaven.

JWs are pretty messed up.

TIL that Watchtower Society runs christianity like a Ponzi scheme

its in the bible jesus works 9to5 as a janitor in a clinic, and god flips burgers and delivers pizza after working hours

Classless? Having almost everyone be forced to eternally worship one dude sounds like classes to me.

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Also, not everyone get to go to heaven. Only the "worthy".

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

And worthy is largely arbitrary and contradictory... So god is a fascist, apparently...

[–] fkn@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I think it's more classless as in you don't have to pick fighter or wizard... You can just put your points in whatever skills you want and build novel characters. 🤷

[–] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 38 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Classless?!?! Haha, someone look up the heaven flow chart (yes really) for Mormons. 3 levels of heaven and outer darkness (hell). For those that make it to the top, congrats on being a god! You and your many wives will enjoy eternity as you crush the hopes and dreams of your own creation.

[–] Randomunemployment@lemmings.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not exclusive to Mormons. Devine comedy dictates different levels of heaven. Enoch also states levels of heaven.

[–] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

To be honest the Divine Comedy is fanfiction and not canon

[–] Randomunemployment@lemmings.world 3 points 11 months ago

Granted but it is held in high regard by many popes, including the current.

[–] ericbomb@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Oh I was gonna say same thing!

Don't forget that in Mormon only heaven, there are three ranks there! Also women swear to serve their husband's.

So to be the highest rank you have to be a male priesthood holder rank 1 of celestial kingdom.

[–] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Many believe the early church was marxist ("had all things in common", etc).

[–] oce@jlai.lu 41 points 11 months ago

Or they just read what is said about Jesus in the bible? Marx didn't invent the concept of helping the poor by sharing.

[–] Thief_of_Crows@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago

I mean, yeah probably. Jesus was pretty clearly a socialist, though I'm not studied enough in socialism or the bible to say which version of socialist he was.

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

Jesus was a communist (even if an utopian/idealist one)

Gotta pay for your place in heaven of course.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

But it's okay because they made everyone else's life a living hell. They deserve it.

[–] ollie@codesink.io 3 points 11 months ago

And also genderless

[–] fossphi@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

I mean, I get it. But what exactly is being produced in heaven such that the workers own the means of its production?

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

It’ll be just like North Korea!

[–] 52fighters@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago

St. Thomas Aquinas taught that in the natural law all property was part of the commons and that only human law changed this.

I think the major Christian objection to communism is the materialist dialectic.

[–] Halvdan@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Communism isn't realistic, you see. Only our realistic and nonfictional god can make something like that and only if you're dead first. Now, get back to work!

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

If communism isn’t realistic, then why do I live in a community? Checkmate theists!
