    Yeah, exactly. Say a your best friend is Muslim. Obviously, no Muslims are allowed in heaven. If you’re incapable of sadness in heaven, then you must no longer care about your best friend. But, if you no longer care about your best friend, do you actually care about anybody?

      Those rules depend on which denomination you’re asking. The pre-schism church decided you didn’t need to be Christian at all, or even monotheistic. They basically decided that rejecting god was actually a high bar (hearing about Christianity and not joining wasn’t even close, and even being educated as a Christian and not believing anyway wasn’t enough) and that people who were righteous would get in regardless of faith. After all, it’s not your fault if you were raised in a distant land where Christianity wasn’t a thing, and you couldn’t really be blamed for not believing without a visitation from god himself, or an angel, or witnessing a miracle, or similar. Of course, it’s easier to be righteous if you’re Christian and know the rules, so spreading the faith was important. This is even still the official stance of the Vatican (and, I would assume, most Orthodox churches). A lot of the black and white morality and biblical literalism comes from Protestant factions. Definitely not all of it, though; try asking the Pope what he thinks about divorce or gay marriage.

      Heaven is heavin’ from the real truth which has been fucking obvious the entire time. The whole trick to the bee hive, that at least had a real sweet purpose, is that if you can think critically enough about fucking anything then you can see the obvious. But if you can’t then the chant loop carries a set of choices that aren’t yours. You’ll be convinced that if he’ll, then your first vomit and escape into empty "space* are saving you from the suffering of infinity carrying meaning.

      Daemon is not a bad person. It’s not even a person. Just a trick of talk that kind of sounds like someone. It’s just a verification of who you are managed by that may sheen instead of being stripped of your manhood by the real truth revealed in that exchange of Knowledge. Kind of creepy to think about but like I said, it’s not a person. It’s just what happens when you die. You’re longer part of the life you left behind at death.

      “After” life is just this one. There’s an infinite galaxy, if not to mention an infinite addition of extra dimensions of stories. You’ll pay attention the same way you did when you started “reading” this one.

      Muslims are literally just more of men refusing to surrender time’s call to respect women’s turn to make the choice for us and with us.

      The whole galaxy we’re in, stories, time, and dimensions I can’t even been to describe, have differences in everything except one. That being the “loop.” This is the structure of everything. Look at how shit changes with the matter-energy 'verse across gradients of volume. Loops are present. So is the story. Across ends the rules and the structure of whatever still will have loops.

      The loop is the one thing that cannot be removed. Even after death, the loop will be a pattern occurring, happening, etc.

      I would say don’t get stuck but you will probably experience the sense of repeat of aspects you were familiar with until you chose to find a different cycle.
