Why are they in a fucking cemetery?! What the fuck is going on up there?
Nietze was wrong, God is undead.
Sometimes you just need to be able to kill a mf in heaven.
And that happens a lot.
So cemetery.

That’s a lot less dark than i was expecting.
When you reunite with your kids in heaven because their mom went crazy and drive the minivan into a lake with the kids inside.
What makes me sad about heaven is that there must be a cutoff in the monkey -> human evolution chain. What happened to the very first human that met that cutoff? They’ll be in heaven but their parents are too monkey and didn’t make it :(
If you believe evolution is real, you’ll obviously never go to heaven, so you’ll never find out.
I love this reflection. It kind of shines a spotlight on the fallibility of mainstream religions under rational thought. Could there be something after death? Sure. But the stories people are peddled arent based on any truth, it’s just telling people what they want to hear to get them to join the club.
There’s a people heaven, and a dog heaven, and a monkey heaven, a bird heaven, etc. Like, what? There’s an estimated 8.7 million species on earth, you think there’s a heaven for each of them? When evolution spins off something new or species cross breed, like a liger from a lion and tiger, does a new heaven just pop into existence?
Mainstream depictions of heaven are bunk.
I don’t think God discriminates against monkeys
I thought only humans went to heaven. It’s a real can of worms otherwise. Do worms go to heaven? Mosquitos? Bacteria? Viruses?
I hope in a separate heaven then. Or hell? Is a mosquito automatically evil, just because they do evil things (like sucking blood) and literally nobody likes them, not even their predators?
I don’t think sucking blood is evil. It’s not like it betrays anyone. It’s pretty open about it’s nature.
Same for vampires and ghouls.
I guess if they were more common, they would also be seen as pests rather than evil
not the mosquito’s fault, is it?
Well, I don’t think all organisms have free will
Or what if the apes did go to heaven? All of them? From all time. That’s a lot of apes for the early humans to deal with.
And it means that in the end we’ll all have to face Harambe.
Statistically, if there’s an afterlife, there’s billions of babies and fetuses in it.
If there’s an afterlife and we’re counting the unborn, then it’s swimming in an endless sea of sperm
an endless sea of sperm
Also if heaven(s?) are tailored to individual’s liking.
Why are some people old in heaven? I’d want to have a 23yo body forever, thank you very much.
And why are some people children in heaven? Does this mean they’ll never develop and get to know what it is like to be mature?
It’s almost like this whole Heaven concept hasn’t been thought out very far.
Don’t worry. This isn’t real. It’s a painting or ai made from someone’s imagination.
I think when first contact happens between loved ones, a common reality is unconsciously agreed upon where the family comes together under the bodies they inhabited at the time they were all together.
Since the long deceased ones have likely watched the life of the newly deceased with interest, I think that initial reality is then slowly pushed away and the (grown) children take on their more mature forms and the grand parents take on their younger forms, and they all walk away from the meeting as equals
That’s how I’d do it
But then someone else they all know dies too. And then they have to reset to that person’s last memory? What a pain!
A level of Bible fanfiction Danté would be proud of
Iranian mommies and daddies when the war with US starts:
Or Palestinian ones on a Tuesday
What reality takes precedence in heaven? My view of my grandmother or her own view? Or is heaven a bubble of reality for what each individual wishes most?
Depends what you believe but many think of the concept of heaven not as a place where you see your dead family and pets, but more of a state of being including oneness with God. Sort of like nirvana. Or the Nexus if you’re a Star Trek fan.
I’m pretty sure JWs believe that heaven is like IRL and simply do not ask the obvious follow up questions because they are a cult
The Nexus, being a destructive addiction, seems to me more of an analogy to heavy drug use than a happy afterlife.
To be fair there’s nothing really wrong with the Nexus as long as you’re not destroying a planet with a pre-warp civilization to get there.
Isn’t it a little tortuous to send children to heaven as children. Even if just a spirit, the appearance and mind of a child feels a little Kirsten Dunst in interview with a vampire. Same with the old. Who wants to go to heaven as an old man or woman?
Most conceptions of heaven kinda feel like hell. This picture scares the hell out of me.
yeah how the fuck does relativity work in heaven? I agree with you, if I died as a kid that would stuck for all of eternity to just be a kid.
This looks like some jehovahs witness “art.”
at least it’s not ai slop
lots of diversity: check no interracial couples or evidence of them despite lots of diversity: check heaven is a physical place where you keep your body and there’s flowers and columns and shit: check 80s romance novel cover horny painting art style: check
No clothing diversity
No women in pants: check
I am wondering much about graveyards in Heaven, can you die in the afterlife and where will you go then? Is Heinlein’s Job more factual than I always assumed??
It’s been years since I’ve read Job. What was the part you’re referring to?
I just remember him being a dishwasher, since that skill travels easily and everyone has dirty dishes.
Yeah the dish washing, that is seriously an amazing part of the story. But I digress, I was referring to the part where Alex is going to “trial”, with the judge a god of gods (I should re-read it, my explanation is terrible).
I really don’t want to think of the implications of there being grave stones in Heaven.
Jehovah’s witness fan art makes for such great memes.
I received a flyer for “Let’s celebrate Jesus’ death” this April. Terrible choice of words
So, what happens if you’ve survived a spouse and remarried? Do you have to choose who you want to spend eternity with?
What about adopted and surrogate kids: do they have to hang out with their biological parents now?
Heaven is such a ridiculous concept.
That’s partly why I don’t believe in the existence of heaven or hell
Eternity? Marriage is only “til death do us part!”
What if you bought your wife an eternity ring?
It’s not like it came with her!
It’s always funny when they depict adults being reunited with their children. How come those adults aren’t depicted as children being reunited with THEIR parents… and recursively so on and so on.
There’s an obvious answer; god decides. You asked that question which made him angry so you’re going to hell now. Its how we know you’re not one of the elect
Yes, you have to choose which eternity you want, though it doesn’t necessarily have to be with either spouse.

I’m more concerned about the tombstones shown in the panting in heaven. like what happened to THOSE people? are they Super Dead?
Those are for the living, waiting to rise up.
This picture is from a Jehovah’s Witness publication. This isn’t a depiction of heaven, but rather a future paradise earth. And the picture depicts various people being redirected back to life.
I saw this picture and it immediately gave me flashbacks to JW flyers
If I’m not mistaken, Buddhism had a being that was the ghost of a ghost. Yes, ghosts could die. Probably that’s the case.
Shit, I’ve see this painting in person multiple times. I think it’s in one of the Manhattan museums. And I never asked any of this.
They are dildos, for the giants.
