Paradise

In paradise, provided there is a paradise, which I think there is,  we may reflect on human existence there. We may see our former existence as a hazy journey through a confusing world. We may only then there in Heaven finally know the truth completely. We then would realize that our previous journeys choices and resulting directions were seriously often made in a fog. The fog had affected our sight and obscured our life with faulty calculus.

 

Finally in Heaven we may then in paradise be able to recognize empathetically the inherent error facing all human thought and understanding. There then there would be moral correctness and ideological alignment to the truth. There we’d ultimately find true fulfillment to understand the destiny and hope of mankind.

 

Alternatively that might not be paradise at all however. Paradise might instead be a place where we discover our security comes only by conformity to certain hard found ideas that seem irrationally construed about us while we move on the planet. The ideas claiming the truth on Earth, that had been forced on some, withheld to others, challenged by various theories, and had caught humanity amid many alternative attracting distractions regardless would be what then ultimately mattered. Heaven wouldn’t care or be sympathetic then to our ignorance.

 

Now in this vision of paradise this God might see: cruelty, war, aggression, ideological correctness as the ultimate nature of His. This might then be His only plan of hope for anyone. God then may go about punishing most of humanity by these divine standards. Blowing oneself apart and others with you in mayhem and horror in the name of justice would actually then be Gods true character.

 

We're in a bit of a pickle then us human beings. We’re in a pickle then because God hasn't clearly stated the first option in any religion. That option would be that what awaits us is a paradise that is more fair then we understand in our religious texts as we stumble as human kind through life. Don't get me wrong Jesus is fair in His teachings but the total plan as we now can only see it condems allot of people. 

 

While alternatively were in a pickle because of the second option of what paradise would be. That option continues to attract humanity to acts of extreme violence carried out as Gods will and plan for humanity. For those who think they will visit God one day God then would not be a God of peace in this vision of understanding.

 

What will God say to us about justice and fairness and love then ultimately? Can we trust God to be fair?
