what we look like in the afterlife

[addy]

If people died and went to heaven/purgatory/whatever else iteration of the afterlife, in what form would they take? Be in their prime? Or maybe people will look like the age they were when they died?

What do you guys think?

[srijantje]

i don't believe we will have afisical form after we die,or prob.anything else.but let's take this as the question as asked,if people would look like when they died and the state they were in there's gonna be an awfull lot of old and sick people in your form of after life,not much rocknroll

At this point in my life I don't believe in an afterlife at least not as the bible teaches it will be. I don't believe in a Heaven or a Hell either, I also don't believe that we are born just to die and become maggot food. I do believe the physical body will become maggot food if it's not cermated, but I believe the energy force that keeps us alive will return to God (which I believe to be an energy force).

[srijantje]

ok lets call it energy instead of god[it's such a loaded concept by now]one only has to look at hubble pictures to believe in energy

Well, when we die, we go to a place with a stripper factory and beer volcanos.
You'll be too smashed to care what you look like.

Guys will all look like Justin Bieber and girls will all look like Taylor Swift. Millions and millions of them, sitting on clouds, harmonizing treacly pop songs. It will be ghastly and everyone will be jealous of the Buddhists because they're eligible for parole.

Hahahahahahahahahaha!

Actually, Justin Bieber/Taylor Swift being the soundtrack to the apocalypse makes a lot of sense

I guess I agree that having a physical form in the afterlife would be weird... so it's more likely that we'll be conscious energy floating about instead.

for the sake of the op's question.

we'll be and look like who ever we want to be or look like. it's heaven, not hell. we'll be able to change our appearance at a whim and drink lawrences volcano of booze should we so desire. touchstones bieber look alike theory is as scary as hell lmao. if what we look ike is dictated to us by some arch angel or even god himself, would that be more of a hell than a heaven.

[srijantje]

and we won't get hangovers

[billy]

here's a thought, will our parents and friends be there, if they're in hell how bad would that make heaven. being there all alone with no one but mother theresa

[srijantje]

i shudder at the thought,she might have been a good looker 100 years ago

[billy]

aapart from the look, what will we do all day, the bieber thing is too scary to contemplate.
isn't everything we do that we enjoy a sin?

[srijantje]

me,i won't be there if there's no sex drugs and rock'n roll around,i'll be a buddhist

[Lawrence]

Billy-

LOL at Mother Theresa!

in this thread you can only be in heaven, not nirvan or some other spiritual plain of existence you're in heaven, live with it. heaven must be so boring

[srijantje]

not when we're around

[Touchstone]

aapart from the look, what will we do all day

Follow the tourist trail:

...Cleopatra (wow...sorry...I was expecting you to be better looking)...Mary Kelly ("So, Mary, who was he?")...Leonardo ("So, Leo, who was she?")...JFK ("John, who did it?")...Great Grandad Bob (why did you return after emigrating to Canada? <your relatives may vary>)...crew of the Marie Celeste ("guys! guys! best punking eva!!!)...John Holmes ("Hahaha, sucker" OK, so I'm just a bit jealous)...Shakespeare ("How art thou, Bill?")...Snake Plissken ("I thought you weren't dead")...Guy Fawkes ("Guy, if that had come off, you'd have pissed all over those Marie Celeste guys")...Lenny Bruce ("Lenny, Lenny, it took them 37 years but they finally realised the crime was what they did to you")...Joan of Arc (so you were telling the truth?Hey, you got a Sainthood out of it)...Eve (you little minx, thanks for eating that apple)...Marylin Monroe (Marilyn, hi, I'm a friend of Eve's )...

[billy]

are you on about heaven or hell. an eternity of travel hehe, while everyone in hell is boozing and fornicating in their break times,
before have to stand on their heads in donkey shite.

i've heard people say they don't want to live for ever but religious people who say it then go on to say they live eternally after they they die.

back on topic. i think when or if we go to heaven (hypothetically speaking of course) we would have a variable age, one that we can change at will i wonder if it full of repentant pedos up there who repented before death. would heaven for them be the ability to to do some pedoing

[addy]

would heaven for them be the ability to to do some pedoing

I would think anything that was sinful on earth would still be sinful in heaven, and therefore forbidden. Anyway even if they repented they still shouldn't be rewarded for their pedoing ways...

I like the idea that you can take any form you want. That could be fun
