Okaaaay, I just realised someone said it in far more intellectual terms. But just take my answer as the Dummies Guide to the eternal bliss vs bread paradox.

[riddlemetodeath]

Personally I don't like sliced bread.

So...

eternal bliss 100%

slice of bread -100%

[vinay1999]

The mistake in here is we are considering no -thing as a thing and saying bread is better than that thing

[Daomich150]

This could be very easily illustrated like this:

Eternal Bliss < Nothing < Bread

So,"Nothing" is referred to as something,an item,or whatever,rather than "Nothing" as nothing,empty,none.

[omthkkr]

This can be understood as -
1st statement can be re-written as...nothing is better than eternal bliss...therefore...it can be re-framed as...eternal bliss is better than everything.
2nd statement is - a slice bread is better than nothing.

So the order is now(in ascending order)-
Nothing -> Slice of Bread -> Everything -> Eternal Bliss

So now...no paradox left! B-)
(Maybe i have ignored the missing relation between the slice and bliss)

if the bread is involved in a good sandwich it iz better than eternal bliss
