Have they not read Revelations to the very end, wherein the tedium of heaven is described in exquisite detail?
Does God give them bonus points for rudeness?

rude Christians are lacking Jesus's love...it just means they're not all the way there yet with the whole Christian thing...
...its good to just be patient with them...
...as our Lord is with us every day...
...and tediousness is an emotion of this world...not of our homeland city

The word "tedium" is not used inRevelation. That is your interpretation/opinion.
Perhaps this New Age belief (a belief that many of all religions agree with)
might help you to understand why some people feel as if Heaven will be a postitive place:
"A positive attitude supported by affirmations will achieve success in anything."
If you feel that Heaven will be tedious, that is your choice. It's a rather negative attitude, in my opinion.
I doubt that anyone was trying to be rude to you. That might be your perception.

The word ' tedium' is not in Revelation.
In fact, so many things take place that 'tedium' is the very last word to describe it.
To simply present another side to a discussion is not rude.

Orion, sorry if I or any Christian here became rude.
What you call tedium is what I call bliss.
Worshipping God is not tedius to me, because I know him and have experienced many of his blessings, miracles and attributes.
What I have come to understand is that the great quest of my heart for more than two decades was fulfilled when I encountered Jesus.
He became a "river" of "living water" in my soul. Until then, I was eternally thisty.
Blessings,

Any way, Jesus said in Matt 25 that he's going to give us greater things to be responsible for. So, I guess that there's a lot more happening in heaven than any of us realize.
God also said "no eye has seen, nor any ear heard, what God has prepared for those who love him."
So, all that worship gets some nice presents to go with it.

Art, what are you talking about? Do you seriously believe that most Christians are illiterate? Don't you think that so oversteps logic so as to be laughable? Are you seriously suggesting that more atheists have read the Bible than Christians? C'mon, buddy. This level of ridiculousness doesn't advance the atheist-Christian dialog at all.

Sorry, but there is no tedium in heaven for believers.

I seriously doubt that an eternity of praising God is going to be tedious. Besides, there are other points of knowledge of eternity that you may not be aware of.
As for Christians being rude, while there is no cause for that, there are details that you have left out. Perhaps what you call rudeness is simply an effort to explain what you have no understanding of.

Most christians never read the bible and often can't. An atheist wouldn't blink an eye at that, cause they've read the whole thing to better understand how the christians twist things at their own whims.
Enjoy!
