- edgyquant 3y agoThat isn’t funny and there isn’t a widely accepted intrinsic value to eternal paradise. You’re just anti-religious and want the excuse to let us all know
- amenhotep 3y agoThere'll be edge cases, but I think it's pretty clear that there is in fact a widely accepted intrinsic value to eternal paradise. What isn't widely accepted is the intrinsic value of some tradition telling you that eternal paradise exists and you can get into it.
