The Heaven Argument

by Joey Lawsin

The heaven argument, also known as God's Boring Argument, is a theological case that claims that living in heaven as well as in hell is definitely boring or monotonous.

Heaven is a word derived from old English heofon. It means sky or firmament. Christians believe that heaven is where their god and humans after death dwell. However, in the Hebrew Bible, heaven was never mentioned as a destination for humans after death. Even the physical description of heaven was not fully illustrated in the Hebrew bible since no one has ever been there yet. Like Mesopotamia's religious literature, it was also believed that Heaven and Earth would come to an end one day. This belief is much the same as other previous ancient Near Eastern cultures that were profoundly influenced by the ideas of the Persians, Greeks, and Romans, in this order. On the other hand, with other religious groups,  heaven is believed to be nothing but metaphorical, symbolical, or mythological.

The imagery of heaven became fully developed when the New Testament was included in the bible. In this book, God becomes the ruler of Heaven, a place where angels, saints, and immortals also live. Although Heaven is perceived to be an equal place for everyone, some divine beings, however, dwell in mansions, some in paradise, and some in the holy city. And eventually, these places will permanently be established here on earth in an oasis called Jerusalem. Take note that the concept of "immortal soul" was thought to originate from the Greeks while the "resurrection of the dead" was of Persian origin and eventually adopted by the Romans in their New Testament.

Also, remember that the idea of heaven is thought to be a concept of reward and punishment. The idea is a poor selfish motivator that makes religious believers hypocrites in the sense that most of them do good things to appease a god.  As Sam Harris wrote, " It is rather nobler to help people purely out of concern for their suffering than it is to help them because you think that God wants you to do it, or will reward you for doing it, or will punish you for not doing it. The problem with this linkage between morality and religion is that it gives bad people bad reasons to help other human beings when GOOD REASONS ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE."

Now, living in heaven or in hell is a dull, tedious life that lacks variety, interests, and excitement. Lazy people are the only beings that would love this kind of scenario.

Imagine, here on earth, that you are a billionaire and all the things you need in life are in your hands. No more sickness, no more pain, no more challenges, nothing that makes you sad. You live a happy life and you do always those things that interest you, 24/7, 360 days.

Imagine too that every single human living here on earth has the same situation as yours. No more sickness, no more pain, no more challenges. All they do is just the same as yours 24/7, 360 days. They also live a happy life like yours every day.

Now, since all these people do happy things every day, over and over and over again, for the rest of their lives, they have nothing new to do. If they have maximized all the things they want to do in life to be happy, what will they do next? If their day-to-day lives become repetitive, monotonous, passive, and tiresome, with no more challenges, no more excitement, no more new things, will this kind of life be boring?

If all this happiness takes place in heaven, will it be boring too?

Spoiler Alert: Btw, just like here on earth, you also work in heaven! You also have emotions! The sad part, there is still discrimination, division, and inequalities.

13 Greatest Paradoxes of All Times

Can someone be both Alive and Dead at the same time?

The question may seem contradictory, but in reality, the answer is yes. Living things can be both alive and dead at the same time, and non-living things can be both dead and alive likewise. But, how can this be?

In the beginning, Lawsin, the author of the duality paradox, first thought that everything exists in pairs. When something goes up most likely it will go down. A magnet always has north and south poles. Electricity runs with positive and negative connectivity. Everything in the computer world was built using only two digits, zero, and one. Other examples are white and black, A and Z, roots and branches, crest and through, right and left, yin and yang, nothing, and everything. Physicists classify physical objects as either matter or energy. Whereas, Biologists classified things as living and non-living. Most of these objects have been dissected sliced and broken down into the smallest particles known as electrons(-) and protons(+). In the end, Lawsin found the ultimate building blocks of Life are made up of space and shape. The discovery was uncovered when Lawsin was developing the Dualparity Theory. Thus, if everything is made up of shape and space, then obviously living things are not alive. It is like saying that if everything is made up of atoms, and atoms are not alive, therefore, we, humans, are not alive as well. Thus, everything is dead and alive.

If we follow this line of thinking, then we need to prove otherwise if we are alive. However, since the original premise of our argument is about Life and Death, then we will simply stay on the topic. Yet, if you are curious to learn if we are alive or not, you can read the following articles here: How do you know if you are alive or not? or here: Death: The Final Genetic Code.

In the standard accepted norm of human understanding, most people believe that they are alive or with life. And that the process of life begins with birth and ends with death. But according to the Dualparity Theory, Life exists in pairs, at its least. In truth, Life is a multi-experience happening in various events all at the same time in a given moment.

The Riddle of the Glass is a paradox that claims that everything is both moving and stationary at the same time. For instance, a glass of water on a table, which seems to be still as you read this article, appears to be motionless. Most ordinary people, including you, would agree that it is not moving. But in reality, the glass is actually in motion. You might think I’m crazy, but this is actually just one of the many experiences that the glass has. The glass is actually both moving and not moving. 

Depending on what you compare it to, the glass is actually experiencing different motions. Relative to the chair, the glass is still. Its first real-time experience. Relative to the sun, the glass is roughly moving in a circular path at the speed of 70,000 mph. Its second real-time experience. Relative to the center of the galaxy, the Milky Way, the glass is roughly moving in spiral shape at the speed of 500,000 mph. Its  third real-time experience. And relative to the universe, which is expanding away from its source, the glass is moving in a linear motion at about 140,000,000 mph. Its fourth real-time experience. Therefore, in real-time, the glass is moving all at once in circular, spiral, and linear motions and possibly not moving at all.

Based on this remarkable lawsinian concept, it follows that Life is both alive and dead or both dead and alive. At the least, life arises in pairs. Each of the pairs seems to exist alone, but in the real world, both being alive and dead simultaneously exist at the same time. In fact, they coexist together. They are interconnected, indivisible, inseparable. As the adage goes "The Duality of One is the Unity of Two".
