Re: Questions there's never a good time to ask.

Why is adultery considered a sin in some religions, but marriage after someone died isn't? I always wondered this. I have no problem with someone remarrying obviously, I think the deceased would want that person to be happy, but if the faith believes you meet your husband again in the afterlife... aren't you technically still married to them?

Do you want the reason infidelity is a social taboo and remarriage after widowhood isn't, or how religions explain the logical issue?

For the first, infidelity is a social strain. Remarriage after widowhood consolidates resources and promotes social connection. And in a society where the family is the economic unit...

For the second, fuck if I know. "Because god said so", and god don't need your logic?

Well, generally, it's considered that the afterlife doesn't work by the same rules as Earth -- like, there's no marriage, or having kids, or going about a regular life. It's another plane of existence.

I don't know about other religions, but according to the Christian Bible you won't actually be still married in the afterlife:

I'm not sure how that affects views on adultery, though. I'm not sure I've even seen it acknowledge much, though it's in the Bible. So I don't know.

I do know, though, that when my family first heard this particular passage in Church, our first thought was the same across the board: Thank god, the poor woman can finally get a break in Heaven.

Interestingly, my super-duper-conservative friend thinks everybody will be married in the afterlife, including people who were single on Earth. (I do not think I agree, since not everyone wants to be married; part of her justification was the whole "man was not meant to be alone" thing and I think she just has a very narrow idea of people and her worldview doesn't include people who don't want a traditional heterosexual marriage in their heart of hearts.) I asked her how she felt about widow(er)s remarrying, and she said she thought it was fine. I'm not sure how she reconciles those though.

For me, I have no idea what our relationships will be like in Heaven, but I trust that they will be good ones.

so your friend thinks after a single person dies and goes to Heaven, God plays matchmaker??

Like I said ("I'm not sure how she reconciles that") I have no idea. I didn't ask her - it wasn't worth getting into it with her.
