See, to me, heaven sounds like a total bore. Oh yay, total happiness and unending bliss, or whatnot. Where's the tragedy? Where's the ups and downs that make life worth living? Where's the reward that comes after hard-fought endeavors? Eternity is a long time to be at an emotional peak.I tell you what: heaven better have poker, and Jesus better not be reading my mind when I push in. I'll leave this alone . . . eek.

LOL, well, the socratic method isn't exactly the best method for bringing a person to the conclusion you want them to come to--that method would probably be "mind control." The socratic method is just a great way to get people to examine their own beliefs. However, I think what you meant is that it's a great way to tend towards the truth of a certain proposition--perhaps you substituted "the conclusion you think they should come to" for "truth"
