What is heaven like

[Nieroshai]

Okay, first to collect an initial error of yours. Sex is not inherently sinful, but (from the Christian perspective, as is the rest of the coming rant) WE are. Rape, adultery, and prostitution are sins, sex is not.

Moving on from that nitpick.

While Revelations tells what the caapital city of the next Earth, New Jerusalem, will be like, Revelations really doesn't say anything else about the afterlife. Also, I get the distinct impression that the plane the angels currently reside on and the "heaven" we'll be going to are two different planes. So it's not that we move to God's plane (which is silly; they're ALL his planes) but that his new throne will rest in the capital city of the next Earth.

Also, I hope we still have human bodies. It says we get new bodies, but I always figured it meant we'd be restored to the way Adam and Eve were. Also, Jesus says things that make it sound like there won't be marital partnerships in heaven. I don't know if that's exactly what he means, partly due to translation doubts, but that MIGHT mean since marriage is gone so is sex. And that would be sad, but maybe in heaven we'll have something better only extraplanar beings previously got to do.

Well TV makes it seem cheesy as hell.
Church makes it seem boring as hell.
And, I don't believe in it, so hell.


EDIT:
I believe in Mr. Grieves. Send for a man in the middle. One that talks like doolittle.
Cookie for the reference

I say the biggest reason the Faith suffers as much as it does is exactly that all the "decent" churches are mediocre and all the "other" churches go the fanatical route. Thaat is quite simply why I don't go, it has done more for me spiritually to discuss texts with friends than sitting in a drafty pew ever has.

I'm a Pastafarian, so when I go to heaven I'll be greeted by a beer volcano and a stripper factory.

My guess, full of clouds, always spring, and I figure you can run around naked and get sex no matter much of a loser you are. Or it just be like the last part of Monthy Python's The Meaning of Life.

Heaven to me is a place filled with amazing breath-taking landscapes. The sun gives off a slight warmth against your skin, the wind breezes softly and the grass field is like a pillow. You see your loved ones, smiling at you, giving you a hug for your life has finally ended but now even though you are dead in the real world, you begin a new one. You never die, you're never sick, you are just perfectly contented. When those that you've loved in the real world have died, you welcome them to join you with a smile on your face.

Whoa got a bit emotional there, but yeah... that's how I view my Heaven to be like.

heaven sounds bad really... without bad there is no-way to be good. without danger and sins etc, life is boring. sure be a good person but life sucks if you live to the letter of the law. (not to say break laws... just bend them)

im not religious but the bible doesn't paint a nice picture of god really. it says he is merciful and compassionate right after it explained that he killed everyone.


im not mocking anyones beliefs but it seems kind of weird how god can disobey his own laws just because we did. As far as i know he is the biggest sinner i have ever heard of.

 

[Mr. Fancy Pants]

D cups, Chocolate custard, cargo shorts, endless snowboarding and Final Fantasy. That is all.

I found this a long time ago... I believe in the whole reincarnation cycle. This just makes sense as to WHY it would be that way, assuming there is some mythical invisible man pulling the strings of life.

 

[goldendriger]

Probably like in Persona 4...large place, clouds, heavenly music, demons attacking you on mass, fighting your way through to get to the top with swords...you know, the typical stuff

 

[superbatranger]

We'll be living on top of clouds and such. In mansions.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Well for one thing if I remember my religon class correctly when we enter heaven, we all be cleanse off our tiny sins so such lustful behivour would be gone.
As for heaven itself I would imagine that we will see some famous people from all kind living there.
As I said about hell but reverse, it would be rooms or land full of personal heavens but they will be a hub or so to speak where we can all interact with each other.

 

[Wade-DeadPool]

I think it is a place that is individual to each person. My heaven my look nothing like what my sister thing heaven look like or my beat friend think of it.

 

[TriggerOnly]

I don't believe in any thing but my life that I live now is it.

however heaven will be full of a lot of like minded judgemental stuck up people, with a nice person now and then.

Hell will be a place were people can respect each other (not like you can judge down there right?) and it will be nice and warm down there not like the.. were ever heaven is?

If there is a hell good to know satan is warming up the sit for me ('-_-')

 

[TheIronRuler]

Basically I'm a jew so even if I were to be a firm believer and follower of its commands, I would say that heaven doesn't exist. What does exist on the other hand is the suffering of your future generations because of you, they will actually get most of the punishment caused by not keeping the sabath day holy, etc.

 

[RobCoxxy]

Other than nonexistent?
Full of preachy douchebags, no beer and definitely no casual sex.

carnal desires are sinful so no sex. Gods light keeps it super safe so it's planet nerf with no risk.

- No sin in heaven, no marriage in heaven. This means you can shag who you want how you want.
- It isn't safe if you read Milton! Imagine being an unkillable soldier in the army of god blowing the shit out of fallen angels!

I think heaven would be pretty cool... shagging and killing, all day long.

...isn't that valhalla?

Yup, when the Norse made up heaven they came up with a better idea than the Christians! Norse Heaven for the win (and it has all the best beer too)! And way better than some of the other religions. 72 virgins? come on, and people fall for it.

 

[Eldarion]

It's full of unicorns and fluffy bunnies.

But nahh seriously I think it's your own personal heaven, with whatever you loved in life eternally represented in death, and you'd just be blissful and content all the time.

That sounds awful. I'd rather reincarnate than spend existence in a permanent false bliss by myself.
