Heaven is not empty, nor will it ever be. Jesus died on the cross for our sins, so that we can go to Heaven. Yes, a lot of religions are very strict about things that you say make life is worth living. I believe that we need to live our lives and enjoy our lives, but for us to also live by the Bible too, the 10 Commandment's. Jesus didn't die for us so that we could go and lead lives of sin, but so that it would be easier for us to go to Heaven. I hope I explained this well, and in a way that can be understood. I don't know you or what faith you belong to, so I would suggest that if you don't belong to a church, you might want to look into finding one that you are comfortable with. Good luck to you.

Salvation is the first thing we should be concerned about. Believing and trusting in Jesus Christ as the only one true God and that He is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father (God) without going through Jesus.
After we assure our salvation, the sins we commit in our daily lives we must ask for forgiveness for and He is faithful and just to forgive those sins. They are then tossed into the deep blue sea never to be remembered again. Yes, we are all sinners and will sin each day. We just remember to ask forgiveness each time we sin.

Johnny Cee. said it Perfect.

Colossians 2:9-17
When you become a new creature in Christ Jesus, sin no longer has to be a part of your life. But why do believers still sin?
Once we receive God’s forgiveness for our lives, we are crucified with Christ. Paul writes: "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God…" (Galatians 2:20).
However, we still have a human body, which has God-given appetites that desire to be fulfilled.
When the enemy taints these appetites, luring us outside the boundaries God has drawn for us, our actions to fulfill these desires are sins.
The real question is this: when you step beyond those bounds, do you feel comfortable?
We should never feel comfortable sinning. Paul certainly didn’t as he wrote, "For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate" (Romans 7:15).
It’s the new nature – God’s nature – in us calling us back to our heavenly Father. If you are a Christian, just because you sin against God doesn’t mean you have a sinful nature.
When you learn to yield to the urgings of your new nature, sin in your life begins to diminish as you walk in the freedom of Christ.

people go to hell because they do not ask for the get out of jail free card.
One more time all of christianity is based on why God created man and that reason given in the Bible is for companionship, for a friend. Do you want to have someone in your abode (just for kicks lets call it heaven) who does not want to be there. Do you want people hanging around for eternity that does not want to do good stuff or that does evil and does not care, that would not be heaven that would be earth.
If you do not want to be god's friend then build your own eternal place to live. If you end up someplace you do not like lets not blame God, cuz He said knock and the door will be opened to you. How nice a God is that, all you have to do is ask and you can stay with Him and be His friend as long as forever.

Your answers here are of course going to vary based on the answerer, as no one who's crossed over has come back to tell the tale. (Though that's disputed, too, of course. But I'm talking about scientific evidence of such.)
If you believe Jesus died for the sins of mankind, that alone can have multiple interpretations. Some believe that the crucifixion alone gave everyone the green light for their own cloud and harpsichord. Others believe you must atone, but that genuine repentance will bring forgiveness.
I think the idea of a heaven that can be full or empty is wholly something imagined in the mind of man, trapped in a three-dimensional universe and trying to imagine what a hoped-for afterlife might be like... by defining it in the only terms the mortal mind can easily comprehend.

Very true. It is impossible to live in this world witout committing a sin. So, the heaven will be empty.

By your thinking, they should go to hell and they will. But Jesus provided a way out. He said, repent of your sins and accept the sacrifice of Jesus and accept Him as your personal Savior. That's the way out of hell. You are granted a visa to heaven if you accept Jesus.

that's what Jesus was for! He takes credit for our sins if we're truly repenting! He atoned for us because we cannot live perfectly. He bled from every pore and bore unimaginable pain for us. He must have really loved us! now we can make it to heaven! it's so happy. think. there's hope that us, sinners, can make it to heaven. Jesus is our redeemer. He bought us with His blood, so to speak. He truly loves us. we owe Him at least a thank you! i cry sometimes because i love Him so much. and i'm not kidding. He saved us!

Muslims have a belief, that they will be punished for their sins ofcourse, but once they complete their punishments, they will eventually be sent to heaven. Because allah has promised the heaven to His believers.
How long the punishment time can be, we don't know but it will be in thousands of years and not days.
