The bible talks alot about heaven would you like some scriptures? I know its hard to believe everything you hear especially when you have idiots make up foolish things like evolution.....etc. One thing that can be trusted is the word of God. There are many proofs that the bible is inspired, there is no way that some of the things mentioned in the bible could have been known way back then, when we just found these very things out less than a hundred years ago. I have alot of scriptures I would nt mind sharing if anyone is interested in being able to become confidient that you can trust the word of God. There are 0 contradictions in the bible! People in there worldly minds cannot understand the things of God, " they are foolishness to them" for example someone told me once in Genisus it says God told adam and eve if they ate of the tree they would surley DIE, well they ate the fruit and they didnt not fall over and die. What happens here the orginal hebrew word was best translated into our language by using the word die, but a Vines dictionary would tell you the the hebrew word used meant to separate from, which is truly what happend and now only the blood of Jesus who has lived and was raised from the dead gives us this same hope that we to can live a new life after death, the devil has distorted the plan of salvation and has divided christians by using pride, greed and envy, thats is why only careful examination of the text in its proper context is useful, problem is everyone want to be right with their own ideas and not admit mistakes.
anyway let me know if anyone would like to speak on any iof these topics, the bible is actually simple to understand if you know alittle of the history behind the text and the purpose it was written and to whom. Let me help!!!

Though it's a joke for atheists, it isn't possible. I believe what the Protestant Christian said: People live in heaven/Eden forever after jury. And actually, Jewish afterlife is similar to the Revelation said. There is once a time when Zoroastr.-ism believe in one G-d, heaven and hell, too. And of course, highest state in heaven suppose to be the gov. of New Yerushalayim. There will be the most important place to praise to G-d
And I believe some people will be punished by the highest forever to "purify" them.
Ok. Ends up here, I think there is people got suppressed everyday. People got diseased everyday. They couldn't have good living in this time. They suppose to live better 'coz they are satisfied by G-d. Afterlife is possible.

Hmm. Yeah Kinda. I believe it's a continuation of the life of the soul in another dimension. Like... Earth is where the soul has it's physical existence and learns life lessons , often needing more incarnation until the relevant lessons have been learned... then the soul goes on through space & time to another dimension where it can act as a guide to souls on Earth.

Non religious human beings can and do have self belief in an afterlife. there's a distinction between being religious and being religious. As for different dimensions, there could could desire to be many, definite.

Mankind has not discovered everything about the exists of life yet. Who knows what happens. We have along ways to go to fully understand life and death. Heaven may be just all in our minds. Saying reading the bible is a lazy answer.

Read the Holy Bible to find out your answers. Get yourself a New Living Translation, which is written in plain modern English and read for yourself, the answers to your questions are in there. Don't take the word of any one else.

No. I believe heaven is a non-magical forelife in the same dimension.

Could be either one, but I hope it's the magical one, complete with unicorns and castles made from lollipops.

magical? no... spiritual? absolutely...i believe that it exists now, as Jesus prayed "on earth as it is in heaven"... i would simply state heaven as the presence/residence of God... and as He lives in me... i am part of heaven...
conversely, i would call hell separation from God...
