What will be more populated, Heaven or Hell? (Jesus, Eden)

I agree, but I'm wondering where you believe they do go?

Are you familiar with the doctrine that is most associated with the Seventh Day Adventist Church, and called "soul sleep" ? In my philosophy, it is not possible to have pure intelligence without something physical for that intelligence to be expressed in. Minds always have bodies. The exception to this is God himself, who is the "Matrix". In God we live and move and have our being, so God retains the memory of who we were when we die, and on the last day we are restored to perfection...with new bodies. From our point of view, no time elapses from the moment we die to the general resurrection.

Interesting language.

If at death we are downloaded into this matrix, what makes you think that God has no use for us?
I agree with your idea but think we are useful to this matrix. We all become part of the software, not a dead file.
