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 81 points 7 months ago

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

I almost spilled my coffee 🤣🤣🤣.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 26 points 7 months ago

Coffee is a drug, so none of that in heaven

[-] _danny@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

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

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

Well alright then, I'm out...

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Not really into the gold esthetic anyway.

[-] NounsAndWords@lemmy.world 40 points 7 months ago

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 12 points 7 months ago

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 16 points 7 months ago

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

[-] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

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

[-] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 38 points 7 months ago

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.

Username checks out

[-] Randomunemployment@lemmings.world 4 points 7 months ago

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

[-] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

To be honest the Divine Comedy is fanfiction and not canon

[-] Randomunemployment@lemmings.world 3 points 7 months ago

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

[-] ericbomb@lemmy.world 2 points 7 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 19 points 7 months ago

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

[-] oce@jlai.lu 42 points 7 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 7 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 7 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 7 months ago

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

/s

[-] ollie@codesink.io 3 points 7 months ago

And also genderless

[-] fossphi@lemm.ee 2 points 7 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 7 months ago

It’ll be just like North Korea!

[-] 52fighters@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 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.
