Will I be punished for this?

[frankieberg1985]

Interesting thought ---"grown out of people"! "Is that wrong?", you say. It depends on your standards. Some people are more or less hermits, and are happy to just co-exist with other humans without participating. The eternal issue is how you treat people and relate to them ---a pleasant or mean spirit. That can cause a "kick back" in time.
As a professed "atheist" your issue will be facing your Creator, and it will not be in His Kingdom, but cast far away to eternal suffering (called Hell). Why not take the time now and read such as John 1; John 3; John 14; Romans 8; etc. in the Holy Bible? It won't hurt you, but neglecting such will hurt forever, we are told. Is it worth taking such a risk? By the way, you won't BE "in paradise" as you suppose, if you continue your course.

I`ve read it, thanks, but I know inside myself that there`s no god and jesus and that after this it`s nothing, I have to be real to myself really

Then, what "punishment" are you asking about in the OP...?

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

1st John 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

You cannot base salvation on feelings friend, Nor can your human finite mind grasp an "infinite God".

We are to have faith
Romans 10:17 --So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

If god created me, why would he create me less able to understand things than him?

Friend I am amazed that you ask this? Lol
Why would God make you less able to understand than Him? Well God has NO equal and He seeks to be loved and to be wanted out a pure and contrite heart.
He could have made everyone to love Him but we would have been like walking robots and that is not real love.
So He gave us all free will so that those of us whom choose Him over the many worldly things will be His children and have eternal life with Him.

Simple answer He is God and we are not.

No one knows everything of God.

I would not even want to.

I love my low position.

It is also not good at all to question God.

Will There Be Animals in Heaven? - Resources - Eternal Perspective Ministries

Read it.

I like what Billy Graham said:
If having animals in heaven, then they will be there.

From what I learned,,,,animals don't have a spirit but only a body and soul...so they're missing what links us to God.

But, who can know?
We'll have to wait and find out.

I'll tell you this much...I've had a cat all my life, and some of them do belong in heaven and some of them do belong in that other place!
LOL

Thanks for the link.

Yeah, I hope they do since I only wants to be with animals and nature in heaven ;D

You have to make reservations to go there, first (or it's a moot point).

 

[GodsGrace101]

I know what you mean...
Some animals are better than humans.

But....I just noticed you're not a believer.
I think you're asking too much....
Ya gotta make some room up there for us Christian type folk who are thinking there IS a heaven! Of course, it should include my two favorite all-time cats.

So where do all these animals come from anyway?
The same ole' soup? What made each one be different if we're all from the same soup?

You seem more humble really, I could perhaps live with you in heaven, yes I also want to live with the cats I`ve had

 

[Petros2015]

Well, a short story, over the years I`ve grown out of people sort of, I don`t have anything against them and I always help others, but I don`t want them around anymore, yes I still love people but I don`t want to have them around in paradise, only animals and nature, is that wrong?

I think it will be ok as long as you don't start building a wall around heaven to keep them out

Yes I know, thanks

Wanna see a picture of one?
He's 18 months old now and still looks like this:

Like?
If there's a cat heaven...this one is going there.

 

[frankieberg1985]

Good cat, here`s mine

 

[Petros2015]

Yes I know, thanks

A lot of the saints and monks preferred to live lives of quiet solitude, some with animals I think to draw nearer to God away from the distractions and general 'busy-ness' of people. It may be something God is calling you to, not something He would punish you for, He just wants you for Himself

Hehe, yes perhaps

Nice!
I used to have a cat that looked just like yours...many years ago. He used to jump on me...I think he thought I was a tree.

So you think "good" cats make it to heaven or cats that are "born again"?

Not really, I believe everyone just dies but it`s a good thought that there`s a heaven or something of course
