Define “violently”…neurotransmitters are constantly running into receptors…I think they can even run into themselves…Te speed at which something is moving depends largely at the rate of perception…and even so as to whether something is violent simply because it interacts quickly, or by a sudden alteration is hard to assert, with regards especially to all particular things.
I wouldn’t say anything is random either…I don’t think i was implying you were…or at least I don’t remember intending to…
My point is is that many people call something a coincidence because they don’t understand what lead to the event… my point is that in that sense everything is a coincidence and as such one might as well say nothing really is…for we don’t really know what lead to anything, we just have an idea of some of the things that lead to it, without exactly knowing what lead to those things…So the point I am pointing out is that it might be a sign when one recognizes that a thing extremely odd happened. like if all the sudden a million bikers fell out of the sky…the acceptable explanation would be that a bunch of bikers were being cariied on some thing being flown through the sky that snapped or something…But then there are really more questions like why did that happen right then…and you can begin to ask why you were witness to that particular event…and then begin to pay attention to how it affected you…how it could…and take further action with regards to those thoughts…If a thing was meant to teach or lead to a specific action it can help to quest as to what so that one can specify the best action to take…of course it is hard to take any of it as certain…it is more of something perhaps worth noteing, that sometimes when noted later lead to a sort of large evidence of sequential odd events that allude to exterior intention…
I meant the books specifically regarding the one God…
And even those that do disagree on what these things are in concept; radically.
The differences are so vast, in fact, that it is somewhat an error to conceptually consider them by the same name to indicate the same form.
Largely I think this is due to trying to represent something that alters with respect to the thing that is needed. Ii.e perhaps rather than saying hot water will be boiled on your heads. one could just say that what you don’t want will happen, that even if you want everything, you will be made not to…
For instance, the universe of heaven to Mormons includes becoming gods through multiple layers of heaven, yet only has one layer of hell.
Counter to this, Dante outlines only one layer of Heaven yet accounts for nine layers of hell.
I wounder how many layers of heaven the Mormons account for…would be funny if it was 9.
Conversely, Scientology, Hinduism, and some forms of Buddhism account for a re-birthing process.
And in that, Scientology accounts for a means by which Earth is the domain of man without any such concept of Heavens or Hells meanwhile Hinduism and the forms of Buddhism that share Hindu reincarnation concepts essentially aim for oblivion of a sort whereby the reincarnation (unlike Scientology) is considered a thing you don’t want as much as you want to be released from reincarnation.Then there is Jainism which asserts the perpetual cycle of things until you transcend the gods and become over them in what you require; you do not control the gods, but you are beyond them.
Then there is spiritual Taoism which has you aiming to evaporate into pure forces of nature and ether of sorts.
And then we have standard mainstream Christianity and Judaism, which disagree on Heaven and Hell.
In Christianity, on the protestant side, you just go to heaven or hell; done.
In Orthodoxy, you go to limbo for repentance and (depending on the view) will wait until judgment day (something exclusive to Judeo-Islamic derived religions) before ascending to heaven if you have repented and hell if you have not.
Judaism, on the other hand, has a very ambiguous and unstated account of Heaven where half of Judaism believes in a reincarnated Earth (essentially) as the “heaven” and the other think of it somewhat, but not quite, like the Christian heaven. Very little is discussed on hell other than a place where you basically cease to exist in some form, with possibly some rather terrible punishments just prior to evaporation.This idea of heaven and hell dichotomy is by no means a universal religious concept.
By and large, most religions do not have such a thing.
That may seem odd to say today because we are so saturated with one branch of religion around the world which popularizes that idea in a mass array of forms, but the truth of the matter is that if you tally up all the world’s religions over time and currently present; the amount of them accounting for a heaven and a hell are quite few by comparison to those that do not.So if I went by the basis of the mean of religious collective, I would have to say that the texts tell me that there is no such thing as a heaven or hell.
Now, if you mean to refer to only Judeo-Islamic derived traditions…then I don’t care.
If there is a heaven or hell, I’ll deal with that after this life is done.
Right now, I have this life; not that one.
I’m not going to spend this life focusing on some possible next life.
I have better things to give unto my soul here than an emptiness of this world for the next.
Your assuming that emptiness is a necessity in order to achieve a good “after-life”…one might call it more fulfilling…especially if one recognizes that the actions requested aren’t merely pointless in order to achieve a better state…but lend overall to a better state for those in the current life, others as well as the self…unfortunately too many are used to specific ways such as to find it hard to alter such as to enjoy doing things in better more universally beneficial ways…And many of the ways suggested are seemingly not so positive unless more openly considered…and then there are of course problems of things like in the Qur’an where it basically OKs a harsh treatment of women and allowance of slaves…but for such things one might ask how could anyone with a good word have it out without having their heads cut off before any other parts of a message might pervade…
As for dealing with it after this life…that is not likely to be possible.
Clearly humans have the capacity for free thinking and action…or so it would seem…and as such it would seem likely that many religious views would come about, besides those that are more in line with the more seeming likely hood of a singular God. And likewise many similar religions may be misuses of those better intended…hard to say…it may not be best to assert with surety that all things would be intended directly by the All or God…or whatever…as it may have been intended that freedom be allowed to at least some degree…
