what would your concept of heaven be if you had been brought up with NO religious training?

Question

in otherwords..without anything you have been told or taught, what would your own self construct as your idea of heaven? (can you even do this excersise?)

Answer 1

heaven (if I ever get there) would be a supm of all the beautiful I saw experienced in my life, a place where woould be concentrated love.

Answer 2

Actually I was brought up with a lot of religious training, but this doesn't mean I was given a certain image of how Heaven is. I think that he gold-paved streets and the harps the Bible mentions are mere figures of speech. To me, heaven means the gravitation law abolished forever, music running into my venes instead of blood, love breathed instead of air, it means everything I ever longed for without being able to name. (as a Christian I can imagine all these gathered in One Person)
Maybe I didn't answer your question, but i wonder...could anyone be that objective?

Answer 3

If you don't have religious training, "heaven" wouldn't even be in your vocabulary. Many old religions have different ideas of a life after death, but I think it's mostly just Christianity that has this concept of "paradise with streets paved with gold" or whatever nonsense it is they feed to the masses.

Answer 4

Heaven doesn't exist outside of religion. Without religion, there would be no Heaven. The question doesn't make any sense.

Answer 5

The same as your concept of thinking after a full frontal lobotomy.

Answer 6

i'd think it was a wonderful place to b for me. Id imagine it to have all the things i want without the ugly things in life--a beautiful place to b.

Answer 7

Heaven is what you want it to be :)
But all said and done, my heaven would be a coffeehouse, all you can knit/quilt/paint supplies, and happiness.
One can dream.
