Musings on Minecraft and Heaven



I bought Minecraft for Paul, and he loves it, but being a Sim fan myself I have discovered that I love it, too. There is a lot of potential for an entertaining game, whether you are playing in Survival Mode or Creative Mode. It was in the Creative Mode, however, that I started to philosophize about the afterlife—the real one, after life on this earth. Many people wonder what we will do in a world where we don’t have to worry about death and suffering, where we won’t get sick or hurt or have survival needs. Actually, I think the answer of what we won’t do is shorter than what we will do. We won’t die. We won’t get sick. We won’t do wrong or hurtful things to others. We won’t hurt ourselves. We won’t be jealous or mean or sad. But what will we do?
