Alright guys, tell me what you think about these implications, which I consider philosophical problems, if the Christian heaven exists. Have you ever thought about these?
According to tradition, heaven is a place where there is no longer "sin". This is one problem because it takes away a lot of our free will - our freedom to be who/what we want. Even if you're religious and don't want to sin anyway, it's still a problem because you're ability to avoid sinful practice, which you might take a little pride in right now, wouldn't be your choice. Basically, go to heaven...lose your freedom. Doesn't sound like paradise to me.
Another problem deals with "purpose". Right now on earth, we may not know the overall purpose for existence, but we at least have a temporary one. Basically, the thing that gets us (or most of us) out of bed everyday is knowing that we have the opportunity to make our life a little bit better - and it that it can get better.
