Your question, "Could God . . .?" assumes God, and has only one answer, believer or not.

The Bible does not seem to say that the goal of a Christian should be to get into heaven, for that would be selfish, and God wants unselfish glory given to Himself. God can be selfish if he wants to. As near as I can tell from reading the Bible and trying to ignore all that’s said about it, you become a Christian by faith. That means that you decide to experience something new and quite mysterious. It means you must let go of the old, believing that no real loss is involved. In return, God creates a free space into which His Spirit can flow. Take it or leave it, the Bible seems to say, for better or worse.

That's metaphorically. Realistically, you're a mirror.

Whatever, Wonder Woman. At least wear a trenchcoat over your costume like the rest of us.

And I with you.

Of course not. What's your point?

Realistically, I see my image reflected in his face.

A very good movie summary. I'm guessing Phenomenon?

Okay. Just as long as you know the original answer to the question you've so erstwhilely copied is "Yes, but she wasn't worth it". Is that really what you're trying to associate your love with?
Re: a comment on Us Sinners by BrandonW	zodiac 217.144.7.195	15-Nov-05/9:36 AM
Ha. Better yet: The Rapture. Possibly the craziest movie I've ever seen. And starring porn-era David Duchovny.

I assumed that was the case. We're talking about laboratory/poetry conditions. Realistically, you'd see the frames of the mirrors diminishing to a point.

Was that your first answer? :(

Only if there's nothing to reflect. It actually causes a virtual infinate reflection.
Re: a comment on Us Sinners by BrandonW	ALChemy 24.74.101.159	15-Nov-05/4:39 AM
All the answers to these heaven and hell questions can be answered by watching the movie "What dreams may come". I say this as a skeptical believer so it may count but being I'm a skeptic I doubt it.
Re: a comment on the battle for troy by oneglove	ALChemy 24.74.101.159	15-Nov-05/4:24 AM
I get the point. I was just noting that Marlowe was so good he coined two cliches in two consecutive sentences.
Re: a comment on The Gate of Heaven by TLRufener	zodiac 217.144.7.195	15-Nov-05/2:40 AM
Because glorifying God is a way to get to your goal of heaven. The Bible is not a book about glorifying God, it's a book to tell people how to get into heaven (ie, by glorifying God). God doesn't need a book to be glorified. He's already Glorificus Maximus. In short: An example of a goal is "Get into heaven". "Glorify God" is not a goal. DancingShamrock is writing a poem about a goal. Do the math.
Re: Two Mirrors by Dovina	zodiac 217.144.7.195	15-Nov-05/2:14 AM
I just realized: Two mirrors exactly facing each other don't reflect anything.
