God created a beautiful world and man has polluted it. I look forward to joining my heavenly father someday and enjoying my eternal life the way it was meant to be.

To quote Joseph Campbell,
"There's that wonderful phase I got from Karlfried Graf Durkheim, "transparency to the transcendent." If a deity blocks off transcendency, cuts you short of it by stopping at himself, he turns you into a worshipper and a devotee, and he hasn't opened the mystery of your own being."
Might I also suggest that if your deity has you stopping at himself, he not only does not allow you to be open to the mystery of your own being, he stops you from being open to the mystery of this incredible world that we all live in. How can you possibly appreciate the plethora of life on this planet which in and of itself should be a reflection of the divine energy that animates it, if you are solely focused on a deity? You lose wonder. You lose mystery. You lose magic. You lose love of self and love for everything around you. You, simply put, "LOSE!'

from my interpretation that means if we love the idea of being here and if our hearts and affections are more on the things of the world than on Jesus and going to heaven one day then we aren't living how we should

I can see that like when somebody has Entertainment Tonight on the TV. Am I really supposed to be interested in yet another star overcoming yet another drug addiction?

yes, God says to love God and not worldly things of this world. It is not about the "world" or what is in it, it is about God and we will have eternal life through Jesus Christ as our savior.
