I was just washing my kitchen floor and thinking about air travel. I thought how difficult it is to guard against actions that we would consider mentally ill i.e. making sure luggage traveled with the owner guarded against bombs because no one in their right mind would blow themselves up. Of course, that doesn't help with suicide bombers who believe their reward is in the afterlife with the virgins (some say it's mistranslated and is actually raisins). THEN I thought, Well, maybe the suicide bombers would consider chaste religious persons to be mentally ill for giving up sex. THEN I wondered if those chaste religious persons give up sex just during their lifetime or if they had to be chaste in heaven, too. THEN I wondered if there is sex in heaven, and if not, why not? Angels are of no gender, and in old religious paintings the genitals of the Baby Jesus were intended to show His humanity. I've always found that to be very touching, despite the fact that I'm not religious at all. I love a good story, though. Anyway - that seems to say that those beings Up There have no gender, but that gender is something that defines mankind on earth. So -
1. Is there sex in heaven, and if so see 2.
2. Do chaste religious persons get to have sex in heaven?
3. If not, do people who go to heaven take on the genderlessness of heavenly creatures?

Like I say, I was washing my kitchen floor... next up, hoovering my bedroom. Who knows what thoughts will spring unbidden to my brain from that activity?

Comments:
1. I don't believe in the traditional concept of heaven and hell, and think we create our own versions of both those ... um ... places

2. Sex is largely of the imagination, which I believe lives on after death if anything does ..

3. To my understanding, the people who have evolved beyond the need for physical sex are supposedly ULTRA satisfied with their contact with the One Self that they would find sex a lesser pleasure indeed!
 
1. Neither do I - but that's beside the point. Those people I'm talking about believe it, and maybe that's where they are going. Maybe we all get our choice.
2. You are side-stepping my question.
3. So you are saying that all the people who think they are going to heaven, if indeed they are correct, are all highly evolved? That they wouldn't want to have sex? But what if they wanted to? Could they?
4. In my eclectic set of beliefs this isn't an issue, but in the exciting world of air safety it seems to Rule the Skool.
 
OK you totally lost me now, with your e_lect(r)ic beleafs. I'm just sayin .... in my own inimitable opinionated way:
NO THOSE IDIOTS WON'T BE HAVIN SEX MAN
not till they come back as someone else

I want to ask for thoughts about improving the world -- what do people need? How can things be organised?
