Most uninformed people who feel they are going to heaven don't have a clue as to what goes on there. Maybe they think they can sit on a cloud and dangle their feet off the edges while sipping a light beverage.
On the last night that Jesus spent with his faithful 11 apostles he showed that they would be rulers with him in God’s kingdom. He told them: “You are the ones that have stuck with me in my trials; and I make a covenant with you, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a kingdom.” (Luke 22:28, 29) Later, the apostle Paul and Timothy were included in this covenant, or agreement, for a kingdom. For that reason Paul wrote Timothy: “If we go on enduring, we shall also rule together as kings.” (2 Timothy 2:12) Also, the apostle John wrote of those who will “rule as kings over the earth” along with Jesus Christ. Revelation 5:9, 10; 20:6.
Those who are chosen for heavenly life will rule over obediently mankind for a thousand years. Those earthly subjects are spoken of at Ps. 37:29: "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it."

Well I think I'll go hang out with the Crocidile hunter and all the animals in heaven. I would rather not go back to earth it is a very disapointing place. But until then I will just have to bid my time pay my bills and taxes and try to do something useful with the remainder of my life and leave the afterlife for another time afterall it is forever anyway.

Heaven for the Christian will be a place of glorious life that will never end. Joy inexpressible, limitless peace, pure love, beauty beyond description—that's what heaven is. Greatest of all will be the presence of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, with whom we will enjoy fellowship forever. Loved ones who have known and loved the Lord will be there. Revelation 21:2 says, "And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."
Heaven will be a place in which its inhabitants will be freed from the fears and insecurities that plague and haunt us in the present life. No energy crisis there ... Free from the economic and financial pressures that burden us down here. Free from the fear of personal and physical harm ... No fear of personal failure ... Our relationship with Him will be intimate and direct. I'm looking forward to that glorious day of going to heaven.
Heaven will be what we have always longed for. It will be the new social order that men dream of. All the things that have made earth unlovely and tragic will be absent in heaven. There will be no night, no death, no disease, no sorrow, no tears, no ignorance, no disappointment, no war. It will be filled with happiness, worship, love, perfection and other good qualities. Heaven will be a place to challenge the creative genius of the unfettered mind of redeemed man. Revelation 21:4 says, "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
However, the Bible makes clear that there is only one way to heaven, and that is through repentance from sin and faith in Jesus Christ who said, "I am the way ..." (John 14:6). Jesus paid for our sins through His death on the cross. God offers us the free gift of friendship with Him in this life and eternal life in heaven when we die if we will but turn from sin and trust in Jesus as our Savior and Lord. "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved ..." (Acts 16:31).

All the Christians in heaven will be sitting around all day talking about how much fun it was to murder all the non-believers.

If there is a heaven, I would dog god constantly. I would never let up, throughout eternity, complaining about the immorality of him consigning most of humanity to hell.

Screw those 70 virgins, then after they are all wasted s l u t s, realize how long eternity is, how foolish it was to want to go somewhere where all you get is 70 virgins, then wish you were really dead

Nothing but praising God! No more crying, no more pain, no regrets, no longing, no want, no boredom, no sickness, no death, no darkness, for Jesus will be the light! Just praising God!
That is why it will be heaven.
