As Euphoric brought up in another thread, if you can feel no pain in Heaven, what about spending eternity with the knowledge that many of your loved ones are in excruciating pain burning in a lake of fire? Surely that is greater than any pain you could endure on earth.

I'm pretty sure God, if he existed, would be smart enough to come up with a better, less painful method of teaching people knowledge than a hurricane. He would know everything there is to know about knowledge acquisition and effective teaching methods. He would even have the power to directly tamper with what we know and do not know (to assert that he can't because we have free will, is to say that God is not all-powerful...it seems to be just a matter of rearranging the molecules in the neural network of the brain). I mean, we COULD train doctors how to treat gunshot wounds by shooting them, but it's a lot easier to just explain it to them in a non-violent classroom setting. And if we had a computer that we could hook up to the student's brain and transfer all the information directly, like God should be able to do, it would be even easier, and nobody would have to get hurt.
