Some members of our forum believe that memories of pain, suffering, loved ones left behind and so forth are no longer experienced in heaven.
Would the logic follow that memory in hell would be a certainty? After all, how better torture the unfaithful than to have them suffer untold anguish in the knowledge that they are forever separated from all that is good, especially loved ones!
Seems like quite a paradox!

Originally posted by eagles54Doesn't sound much like a paradox to me. If you can believe the one you can believe the other just as easily. Personally, I don't think that memory as we know it can survive death. No more brain, you see. As the man says, you can't take it with you!

Originally posted by eagles54It would indeed, but as god is supposedly onminpotent, this is not out of his league. I see no paradox here.

I got hella drunk there too.
Obviously I don't go to nightclubs anymore, but the ladies were scantilly dressed. I was well impressed.
Originally posted by StarrmanWouldn't you think that God (not wanting to confuse we feeble-minded mortals) might stick to the same laws throughout his creation, including heaven and hell? Is God sensible and if not, why not?
