The Afterlife Is Not Human

Every religion does this bullshit. They equate human wants and needs to that of when you die. Spirit or whatever. What you think, feel, want, need, all of that is HUMAN. And all of that is for the living and mortal. Even an immortal human wouldn't have the same wants and needs as a regular human. It's all based on our experiences and the chemicals in our bodies and the biological functions necessary to survive, i.e. we won't go up to heaven and eat or want sex or have to dispose of wastes. Because THEY say we become ethereal. So how are we going to want those same things? We take on a whole different set of values, wants, and needs, then.

I watched a creationist video and he said that humans crave more of what they get, i.e. if you get a promotion, you'll be looking forward to the next promotion. Yes, it's ambition which drives us. Without it, the world would be filled with slackers. Most of the time it's for vain reasons, but benefit society as a whole. What I took issue with really, was his next point. He said that once we get to heaven, we'll stop wanting more.

WHAAAAATTTTTT?!

Wait a minute, here. So you say we will have the same wants and needs as we do, in the living? But we won't go "well, it's pretty boring here, I want something more than this". If you are to say we exist the same in heaven as we do on Earth, and you deny that human ambition will be the ONE thing not carried over, you're a goddamn cherry picker and have absolutely zero sense and credibility.
