If heaven is this perfect place you go to and you get to do anything you want, and people like to do bad things like smoke and drink and gamble and try strange sexual positions, is heaven full of people doing all these bad things? Is there no difference between heaven and hell? Or is it all just made-up, because it really makes no sense to me...

Wow, definitely not! Heaven is a great place and has none of the people you have mentioned. You get to heaven only if you are saved and believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. If you are TRULY saved you will not be doing these things here never the less doing them in heaven. In heaven you are a spirit no smoking, gambling or sexual anything will be of any help to you never minding that those things are not available. You will not be having sex because you will be praising God and sex is of the flesh so you will not be having the urge to do so anymore.I would suggest you read more of the best Book out there the Bible. It answers it all. Please do not think that hell is not real for it is as real as you and I. I mean honestly if you look from the outside in can you really explain how we got here. I big boom created different DNA, finger prints, eye colors, hair differences, skin color, different voices and different seasons and weather. I am not going to contribute all that to a boom and if so what created the boom? Who created the pressure for there to be a Big Boom particles, space? Great question by the way.

Heaven is bible-based. But most religions make it two-extremes; Heaven, if your good; and Hell if your bad. In the Bible it's says that only 144,000 people will goto heaven to serve with Jehovah God. When you die, you are unconsious. Nothing more nothing less. Isn't it easier to believe that God would carry out his original promise to let mankind live on earth. You can more easily imagine a perfect world then you can heaven. It's all bible based. If you don't believe me pick up a bible...any bible and don't think about what you've been taught or tradition, ask yourself if it makes sense.

Heaven is not perfect place for those who did wrong in this world.
Heaven will be full of people whose deeds were good and right.
There is a lot of difference between Heaven and Hell.
Inside Heaven there will be gardens full of fragrances, and inside helll there will be fire with bad heat.
Good people will enter to Heaven and bad people will enter to hell.

There is a proverb I have heard. In hell, there is a banquet table full of delicious foods. People in hell are starving, because each of them have arms so long and so straight that they cannot get the food to their mouths. In heaven, the exact same setup is in place, but everyone is happy because the people are feeding one another.
The difference between heaven and hell is the presense of God, and with that comes love, charity, and peace. These things are lacking in hell. Other than that, perhaps there isn't many other differences.
Very imaginative of you to ask this question.

Well, the only people up there are God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the angels and some of the biblical characters that the Bible says. Other than that, all the people in earth that die stay here. The Bible says they don't know anything, they are "asleep" until the Lord comes back and takes His children. And normally, bad things like smoking and drinking, etc are pleasures of this earth that the body thinks it needs and people who get to go to heaven won't take their bodies, only the spirit will go. There we will be perfect and none of that will enter.

All the people who want to do bad things will not get there.
Your question is about heaven, but what about hell?
The people who want to do bad things will go to hell, but there's one catch. In hell you are punished for your sins on earth, but if you sin in hell you will be in really big trouble and your torment will increase.
Hold on let me check something. Oh sorry there is no heaven or hell. Never mind.

It makes no sense to you because you are carnal - fleshly minded: "Because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so; and those who are in the flesh cannot please God" (Romans 8:6,7)
"But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them because they are spiritually appraised "(I Corinthians 2:14)
"For the time already past is sufficient for you, to have carried out the desire of the unbelievers, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousals, drinking parties and abominable idolatries. And in all this they are suprised that you do not run with them into the same excess of dissipation, and they malign you; but they shall give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead" (I Peter 4:3-5)
When a person becomes born again, he receives a new nature and begins to love the things he hated and hate the things he loved.
"Therefore if any man be in Christ , he is a new creation; old things have passed away and all things have become new" (II Corinthians 5:17)
I used to drink , smoke, gamble, do drugs, lie, cheat, steal, slander, blaspheme, curse, and many other things worse than this - but when I became born again my nature changed, and now I love to do the things that are pleasing to God. It is no hardship for me to obey God, it is my delight. I don't say there are no struggles, there are; but my spirit keeps getting stronger and the flesh is getting weaker.

Well no one REALLY knows what heaven is like but most people that like to do all of those bad things probably aren't going to heaven anyway...unless they ask God for forgiveness. I would imagine that the desire to do those bad things while in the presence of God would diminish and you would be happy no matter what you were doing in heaven. In hell, you don't get to do anything but fry.
