This concept is another example of the stupididty of religion. The idea of streets being made of pure gold is a very materialistic human notion, and would be at complete odds with the religious precepts of austerity and doing without material extravagance. Makes you understand that this stuff was written by human beings with human desires and has no divine inspiration at all.

It's good marketing. "And if you act now we'll throw in STREETS OF GOLD at no extra charge!!! So dial the number at the bottom of your screen for the Complete Salvation Package which includes: 1) Eternal Salvation 2) The chance to feel superior to the unsaved 3) Many service and charitable opportunities 4) An autographed picture of Jesus Christ himself and now 5) Streets paved in gold! ACT NOW!!! Operators are standing by..."

Revelation 21:21 - And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass (Rev. 21:12,21).
Not just "paved" - pure.
