I don't know how many here are religous or not, I'm not quite concerned about that. But I have a simple question for those who may be interested to answer. I expect full thought outl answers, I don't want one word answers.

My question is in the form of a hypothetical situation. Let's suppose for the sake of argument that there a god and a heaven. Suppose that it is you who have suddenly died, say in your sleep perhaps, however you are given a choice to actually enter heaven or sacrifice your place in heaven to someone else, someone you know personally, regardless of what they have done in their lives or regardless you liked them or not. Think about it: if you view yourself as a decent preson; a loving and compassionate person, would you actually be willing to sacrifice your place as wells as happiness in heaven to that person and spend the rest of eternity alone in limbo or whatever?

With a hypothetical god or heaven, there is still the possibility all our views on it are words of men and stray from the truth of what it could truely be. Existence as a whole has so much more to offer outside of absolution, or residing in any one place. With that in mind, and having a religious background with plenty of experiences, I can say it is at times self sacrifice that bumps you up to the next tier or place in things. I was and still am willing to wander the various parts of what existence has to offer if someone I know could settle for a place in a view they hold sacred or belive to be the final resolve. Though again by experiences, I'm almost certain there is more or something else. That then goes into why I'm even here at darkness, or chose to turn away from an opportunity like this I was already offered. Retire in a life of what your current mind can justify as eternal peace, or continue in the world and redefine that sense of peace for something greater?
