If all there was to do was to do is chant and pray and exist without ever doing anything that might upset God?Eternity is a long time to do the same thing over and over.Wouldn't you want to be bad just a little bit?For fun?

Maybe that is why man was created to have everlasting life on earth. Once the earth was filled, than head out into the galaxy to explore and terraform the other planets.

Do you think that an omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent God who created the universe with His words would be unable to think of something for humans, who He chose from all eternity to be with Him, to do for the rest of eternity?
No we won't be sitting around chanting forever. And why would it be necessary to pray? God would be right there, we could go up and ask Him. Not to mention that, since He's probably thought of everything there would no longer be any need to ask for anything.
There would be the joy of seeing our Lord and Savior personally. There would be the pleasure of His company, not to mention seeing and talking to people like Peter and Paul. There would be the joy of seeing friends and relatives who have gone on before. There would be getting to know all the inhabitants of heaven (billions of people) in a way that is more intimate then sex and with better communication then between the most loving husband and wife.
Then there is the universe to explore. God is not going to destroy the earth and the universe, just replace it with one like it was orignially--one with no imperfections or evil. We will have perfect, glorified bodies just as Jesus does which means we will be able to travel anywhere in the universe with the speed of thought. Can you imagine spending a few million years visiting all the planets and stars that you can only see dimly in the sky now?
On top of that, why WOULDN'T you want to worship, praise, and show constant thankfulness to the God who has sacrificed and prepared so much for you? Eternity would be too short a time to praise and thank God for what He's done for me!

I don't like "classical" depictions of heaven much, either. I'm gonna throw out one of Jennifer Diane Reitz's quotes here: "Torocyclundis, with infinite life spans, immortality, constantly increasing diversity, and endless exploration and adventure is what is sometimes referred to as a 'heaven-class' cosmos, among smart-*** Cosmological Engineering students." As I see it, one wouldn't get bored in heaven, but one wouldn't get exhausted either. The environment would change to ensure the system would work.

If I had a chance to have talked to GOD so that I would not be born to have stayed in heaven,I would had said. GOD,please I do not want to be born and I want to stay in heaven to avoid the selfishness of the Human Race. Yes,I know that life can bring unexpected pleasures and rewards.
So since we are here,
LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST AND ENJOY IT.
HELL are for those that enjoy and love sexual intercourse all of the time. If anyone has noticed intimacy or sex in heaven is NEVER mentioned,implied,or read between the lines of the bible in the olde testament or the new testament !!!

I agree. In church they've said that heaven is an eternity praising God. That doesn't sound like much fun to me. I like to believe that God is a little more fun than that. After all, if he gave us free will, and is omnipotent, he already knows everything we're going to do in our lives. I can't imagne he'd send us to hell for that. I also can't believe that he expects us to go from having free will to worshiping him day and night. I like to think heaven is just an extension of this life with good weather, without all the bad stuff (war, cancer etc)

Heaven will be infinitely more interesting than the life we now have. There will be no sin to prevent us from learning and living to our fullest dreams and expectations and beyond. I suspect we will be traveling to different galaxies for lunch.

Well, you wouldn't have to worry about that since all Caucasian descendants are "the wicked seed" according to the Holy Bible. Regardless of what false nationalities they go by now, they are all ONE NATION.
To prove this POWERFUL statement, READ:
JOB 9:24, PROV. 29:2, and MATT. 13:38-39
(DAN 7:27, MATT. 10:5-6, JOHN 4:22, ACTS 1:6
And YES, they are ALL from the same NATIONALITY(NATION)
READ:
GEN. 25:25, 30-34 GEN. 36:1,8-9 (GEN. 36:9-And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir.) & HEB. 12:16-17

I'm sacrificing my life for it, I don't think I'll ever be bored.
btw, all the bad and dark feelings are removed from the heart and mind when you enter heaven.
