Yeah, the swan gondolas gliding down the canals, piloted by harp-playing angels would be nice. And the chocolate waterfall would be outstanding, especially since I wouldn't gain any weight. And the bright heavenly light of God would be really cool to see -- until I wanted to go to sleep. My point is, how would I appreciate the wonders of heaven on a day in, day out basis. For eternity, mind you?

Yeah you're right. Any one of us could get tired of a feather sticking up our a**. By the way, the wings look so heavy. But, the cotton candy clouds would be fun to eat! I have a feeling I'll be one of those limited engagement angels.

There is a quote in the Bible that says " do you not know that a day with the Lord is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day?" In heaven there is no time. Plus I think your acting as if you'd be by yourself. Wouldn't you want to meet your deceased relatives? Ronald Regan? Washington, Kennedy? How about people who "took their secrets to the grave"?
Also I'd like to see what really happend with stonehedge or that kennedy thing. Nah there would be so much to see.
And finally, moving away from the childlike descriptions. You will be worshipping God all the time. If you dont worship him in public you wont see the need to worship him in private. And depending on how close your relationship is to him, you wont mind.
p.s. Have you ever been in love??? if so you'll know what i mean

Heaven in man's interpretation of bliss. The Christian faith has to have extreme good and extreme evil thus heaven and hell. They find no comfort in what they say their God has given them here on this earthly plain. They find no joy in anything but His presence which if you were an all self centered God would be the case. Why in the Christian faith, is their God not bringing them the joy and happiness for their choices instead of making them wait it out, suffer as some have and insisting that they have to talk about it constantly?

Since nobody knows what heaven is like, who knows? A German heaven would have a lot of beer, so that would be cool. Lots of hairy women in a French heaven.....yuck! Good food in an Italian heaven, lots of great arguments in a Jewish heaven. Loads and loads of hedonistic, poligamous SEX in a Mormon heaven, lots of good booze in an Irish heaven. Maybe you can just order up a mix and enjoy it all!!
Then again, if the place was loaded with those painfully annoying born-agains, I'd want to kill myself in 5 minutes!!!

well you get a new body too, so maybe your new body doesn't want to sleep. i've never been there but i have a feeling it will be awesome, i have a friend who is a college professor who thinks there WILL be sex in heaven, and food, and all sorts of other stuff. at any rate, i'd much rather go there than be tortured and really hot or really cold and in pain for the rest of my life. it's between those two choices, i'm going with the place you have luxury of being "bored" at, rather than the place where you're in unbearable pain and darkness.....

Go there, stay a week, then come back and tell us about it.
I do not know any one that went experienced it and qualified to make a statement about being boring.
There can be no Heaven or hell without a GOD. In that it is obvious that you are SATAN, There is both GOD and Heaven.

Not sure where you're getting your concept of heaven, dude, but it's not from the Bible. I'd much rather be sitting in God's presence than burning in the lake of fire. I'd think the lake of fire would get boring after less than a week.

No, after about five minutes. Heaven is living hell (secret underground sources told me so). For an eternal party it has to be Lucifer's crib. Why do you think Jesus went straight down there after they crucified him, to preach to sinners? Rubbish, that's mainstream Christian propaganda, his Father can't keep the guy out of there.

I don't think there is a concept of time in heaven. I've thought about it a lot, and it's hard to imagine eternity. The only answer I can give you is one I tell myself... there is no time.

If you are not going to use your ticket can I have it? "The Twilight Zone" did a great story about a hoodlum who dies and ends up in a place where all his needs are met. Booze, broads, and gambling. He soon grows bored and wonders why he ended up in "heaven". His host informs him that he is mistaken. He is in "the other place".
