One of the issues I have with the concept of an afterlife is that cultural values change over time. Someone who lived before 1860 will have died believing in slavery. If they met one of their future offspring in heaven they would likely not approve of today’s society. They would be against interracial marriage or LGBTQ rights. We on the other hand would consider them backwards and racist in thinking.
The same could be said for our future great grandchildren. I can imagine them hating us for eating meat (assuming future society becomes vegetarian or eats lab grown meat). Who knows.
Simply put I feel that heaven won’t be a peaceful place since different generations of people would hate each other. I’d like to meet my ancestors in heaven but I don’t think they’d like to meet me. For this reason I think it’s simpler if Heaven and hell simply didn’t exist. What do you all think?
