I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Is that a convenience thing, or is it a symbolism thing like so?

It looks like it's just to keep the thing from hitting the car on the way in.

It's how matter of fact the guard is about it, too.

YHWH knows whats up, he gives you virgins for conquest in this life not just the next

When God first directed the tribes to Canaan, he said "kill everyone there", and they mostly just mucked around. So God started directing them to genocide individual kingdoms, but the same thing happened. Basically, the Jews were bad at genocide.
Joshua blew the horns at the battle of Jericho and then their baneling bust rekt the wall off and they took all their minerals
Before that though, God told them (while Moses was in charge) to go in and take it, but the people were scared, so they had to wander in the desert for 40 years, then go the long way around and kill everything in the way.
Was this before or after he told Moses he would never enter the Promised Lands?

Welp, time to sleep, Jesus, we'll wake you up when we Putin gets here.

Anyway, on the "Moses would never see the promissed land" thing, I think its meant to mean Moses would die before his people actualy settled in the land promissed to them by God. After all, in the context of the old testament, "the promissed land" is meant to be actual territory, and not heaven/paradise/etc.

I am 90% sure Moses was banned from entering before everybody else. I don't have time to check it right now, but it would be in Exodus somewhere.

I was just pondering - instead of doing set work, hehe - the death of animals, and realised that Christians can conceive of a scenario in which death does not result in the afterlife, either the burny burny one or the singy singy one. The only inconceivable aspect is that it could apply to humans, not just animals.

Not relevant to anything, really, just thinking online.

I am entirely able to conceive the idea of there being no afterlife for humans. I just think it's wrong.

Why is it right for animals (at least, I assume you think so) but wrong for humans?

That's the goal, anyway. I don't believe you can get to exist forever without finding a way to make it happen.
