I always thought the whole idea of Heaven was ludicrous - why should God's Creation be that different from the afterlife? Is Jesus having a good time up there, with the constant, infinite knowledge of everything that is going on down here? Or of what will be going on in hell? All the horror that ever was, ever will be, ever could be - always on the forefront of God's mind.

The Serpent wasn't lying - eating the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge has made us like God. And God suffers.

And that's a good thing.

>For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.

Snake was right. Being like God means being able to suffer. This is why the world is as it is.

heh, pain is the only thing that makes the world real

this is why dreams only feel real when they're nightmares, but it's even more fundamental than that; pain is what gives rise to creation
from evolution to human progress, the whole world climbs not because of what's on top, but because what can't keep up gets swallowed up

this is self evident to anyone exposed to the ultimate suffering, the insight that pain is the only thing that's not illusory

Does God want us to suffer?

Why does this sick material world experiment have to go on? Haven't we seen enough already?
