I get out of bed on foot but that's a journey to either the bathroom or the kitchen and neither one of those is a thousand miles from my bed.
No. Paradise is Paradise, and Hell is Hell. One man's opinion about it one way or another is irrelevant.

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step only if you are walking at least part of the way and you start out on foot.
Patience is a fruit of the Spirit of God.
God wins but he wins his way. He's written about what happens in the future. The world gets way worse. It doesn't become paradise. Read up in Revelation on the plagues that are to come and the war where the blood flows as high as a horse's bridle. Seven months to bury the dead. Then Jesus physically returns. Then paradise.
Oh, and Time is so Space has something to do.
There won't be a future 'paradise on Earth' until Jesus comes back and before that people will get worse and there will be wars, crimes, famines, and that Armageddon thing. I don't think America being great and the rest of the world still being a sh!thole constitutes 'paradise'.
All I can do is say again: X is not Congress and neither is, for example, my house. There are places, like this website for another example, where you are not free to say just anything.
"Free speech with conditions is not "free speech". Period." Right, just like X, my house, and right here where we are now have conditions on our speech. I bet there would be some conditions on my speech if I was at your house. I bet your mom put some conditions on your speech from time to time as well.
What you don't like is someone's rules, but do you have rules about other people using your stuff? You have to remember that Private Property is a thing too.
Congress cannot Constitutionally make a law restricting my right to say what I want. X is not Congress and neither is, for example, my house. There are places, like this website for another example, where you are not free to say just anything.
"Free Speech" does not mean free-for-all-say-anything-you-want-everywhere-anytime. It never did. No offense meant to anyone but I don't understand why people don't get that.
I think the MSM, big politicians, CEOs and assorted Hollywood types are changing because of the Justice and Revenge phase they know is coming starting January 20th. Enough to fuel a cultural change among their fans and followers and employees, etc.
You assume that either full or empty is a default position for water in the glass. It could be that half-full is right where it's supposed to be.
You are taking verses out of context in order to make them fit what you want them to say IMHO. That takes the fun out so I'm done here.
Space is already filled. It's filled with space.
