But you need to remember that these offers are applicable only if you get yourself martyred, while trying to exterminate the infidels. Otherwise, you may need to use Viagra in the heaven as well.

Satan is also made of precious materials, in our silly old book. it seems the Lord tends to make the greatest of his creations with the finest of substance.

but what do you care? just a bunch of bullshit mumbo jumbo, right? Silly old Christians.

I never understand why, because someone doesnt agree with something, they have to shit on it. I wont elaborate, but Christians look at atheists with a similar head scratching gaze. Just be. If a person's existence doesnt infringe upon yours, simply move on. The OP tried to raise a valid critique, but the responses seems to simply decry monotheism, or drop a pile on Christianity. You may be mad at the practitioners, but dont be mad at the message. Although many of us fuck it up, ours is a religion of peace and understanding. Fuck history. It is a record of humans acting under free will, not the Divine intent.

But to stay on topic, besides the esoteric and symbolic intent of paving the afterlife with the precious materials, I think this was written in particular to show the amount of attention that the Lord put into the construction of the afterlife, or that the things he puts his foot into tend to be made out of the most ballin'est shit available. My Lord is a mightly Lord, and he obviously likes choice shit Dont be mad at the swag, bro.

The bible is a poorly written sci-fi franchise all we are to them are paying fanboys of their fairytale novel that has no evidence that even one event has occurred example the noah's. How can a tiny boat fit millions of animals when in this current day/era and technology the latest and advance big boats can only fit 4000 plus people. So how the hell that those big animals fit in a tiny wodden boat. ? I dont know what to believe anymore when i found out that the man on cross is not actually jesu christ but actually caesar borgia that is a son of a gambler who kills people. Surely the who benefits from these, are all organize religions.

I've been their guys. Yeah they have the roads of gold but as there were no automobiles, everyone either flew or used the sidewalk.

Stome paved roads of hell semm mutch better for everyday usage Angelss are probably not  using those roads (only maybe if they just wana walk around the street) while demons are using some vehicles.
Tbh  bible was probably written by a jew so why are you surprised to see their green in holy book?

I remember the paving to be some sort of transparent gold, which would have been an unusual choice. When I first read Revelations, the first thing that came to my mind was an alien mothership. I mean, the foundation is multicolored gems glowing, the walls are octagonal and the gates are each a single piece of pearl! XD


I think I heard of that eternal erection before. Can you just imagine going through eternity with your boner sticking out forever? Hahaha.

As for that final one, Judea was hardly a rich province, no wonder they flocked to a lot of messianic figures at the time like John the Baptist.

While the bible talk about gold, the Quran talks about women.


So what does this mean? It seems to me that the Christians are more concerned about money, and the Muslims are more concerned about sex.

The Bible says a lot of things. If you believe everything then you can go crazy. In those days when he wrote the Bible people did not know much. For them, gold had the greatest value. Now have penned a more sophisticated fake.

The bible claims there are streets paved with gold in heaven

Why?

Gold is a soft/malleable metal... you wouldn't be able to drive anything heavy on gold roads

Angels can fly right?  Why do angels need roads at all?  Can't angels teleport or whatever?

Perhaps sapphire, or diamond, or unobtanium... but why gold?

Is it because the people who wrote the bible thought gold streets would be tempting to a desert dwelling tribe?
