Ji what?

I play with the term Jihad a lot.  To me Jihad is an unholy war or alliance for the purpose of creating fear, mistrust, tension.  There are sexual Jihads and military Jihads.  There are people blowing themselves up for their respected  Jihad leaders.   For suicidal bombings I would say YOU FIRST. Since the leaders never blow themselves up, who is lying to who?  Paradise is relative to the part of the world you are from, what we have been taught as children and what we later learn as adults.  My Idea of 'Paradise is not 72 virgins for sexual pleasure.  #1 You would be way to tired to enjoy 72 virgins.  Maybe 2 or 3 and how could they (male or female) be virgins unless no one else wanted to be with them? (This makes me shutter.)

Then again Valhalla offers some rampant gluttony as well as sexual pleasure.  But what about your views, what is your idea of 'paradise'?  

Mine would be different so would a Native Americans view of Paradise as a place to go after we die physically.

I remember a Satanist Priest telling me that heaven would be like church all of the time.  I did not buy.  Neither do I buy the part about being with loved ones as we remembered them.  For one Flesh has no place in the realm of Spirit.  2) I read that we would be changed that this 'corruptible flesh' must put on uncorruptibility .  So this per chance does not have Your pet Skippy running up to meet you either.

So what.  When I die the life in me leaves and bacteria take over and life starts anew.  There is so much talk about "The Other Side".  The other side must be a place where our memories dwell.  

Personally I think when I die that eventually I will again be with our Father in Heaven. Maybe the 'second death' talked about is the loss of the illusion of independence.
