Heaven should be the ultimate example of localism in fact - one heaven per person, constantly changing to meet that person's needs. That is part of what I understand by the 'many rooms'.
Yes (well, I always feel weird as an atheist saying what religious people "should" believe. But that conception of heaven certainly makes sense to me)
Really I think my issue is less the general idea that God resurrects people to be the best they can be, and more the narrow way that idea is interpreted.
disability means imperfection - a person in whom something is lacking compared to the norm
But we're all imperfect. If you're going to cure Deafness, why not give everyone a genius IQ and perfect pitch and olympic athlete level fitness? Or Xray vision for that matter? (And if you are doing all those things, at least for the people who want them, then I think the situation is no longer ableist)
I also feel like there's something in here about people who feel their true physical form is a dragon, but I'm not sure what.
