I guess you have lost me here. What is hard to
accept? That time is endless, or that it isn't?
Both ideas seem to be found in many folklores and
creation myths. Many Christians for example
believe that there will be a 'last time' after
(or at) the second coming, at which point the
entire corporeal universe, including time, will
simply cease to be. Heaven, on the other hand,
goes on for ever. So you need both kinds of time
to fully grok eschatology. (02)
