If people think Heaven exists and is wonderful, why do they try everything to avoid dying and going to Heaven?

Answer 1

But Earth too is Heaven in life and after death its Heaven in the sky ? Its the thought of going to strange environment leaving behind the people we know and facing the new people in heavens and new and strict rules to be followed.

Answer 2

That is a really good question. I always wonder why if you get 72 virgins in Muslim heaven for committing a suicide bombing, then how come Bin Laden and all of those jack offs aren't doing it. Hell they don't even fight in the battles. Do you think they really believe that??

If it's so great, why do they have to brainwash teenagers for years to convince them to join the fight. Hell if I thought I could get 72 virgins and go to heaven, then I would be on the bus with a back pack full of bombs in a heartbeat.

People say they believe in Heaven, but I think there are many doubts.

Answer 3

Don't know about the rest of them but personally speaking, I can't wait to get outta here!
Suicide is not an option cause it's selfish and the cowards way out.
I don't avoid dying, it is avoiding me right now. So whenever my time in death be, so be it.

Until then, it is my job while yet mortal, to lend my character in a loving and peaceful way and to spread the Word of God to seemingly lost souls asking questions such as this. In this way, my hope is that they will start asking themselves other questions like, "what if there really is a Heaven?"

Answer 4

People want to live and love as long as they can. We aren't avoiding dying and going to Heaven but we are waiting to be called home when it is our time.

Answer 5

Heaven does exists theres no doubt, I am just here doing what God wants me to be doing and waiting to be called home, I am not trying to avoid dying and I am not going to kill myself either, I will get there when He calls me home.Peace

Answer 6

Because God blessed us with being alive and having this great life. So while we are here, we enjoy life to the fullest. When it's time, we'll go to a much better place.

(Why do people who don't understand Christianity try answering this question? They obviously have no idea what they're talking about.)

Answer 7

I think because they would miss the loved ones on earth they would leave behind.
Also, if you try to die, it's called suicide and if you do that you are going to have a very hard time being allowed in heaven.

Answer 8

yes heaven is beautiful and all men want to be there, but we all still want to have a fulfilled life right? so many things we want to see or do... we were given life for us to live... why waste it right? it is the greatest gift God has given... it is also not an easy journey for man to be placed in heaven for the temptations given by the devil is a hard barrier for us to get through... and the feeling of getting over that barrier is fulfilling... enjoy life on earth, its God's gift...

Answer 9

Because life is more important while your time is here on earth. Be with your loved ones and enjoy it while you can because life is too short. Everyone is probably afraid of dying because it something that we have never experienced before.

Answer 10

Wouldn't an almighty, omniscient god think up a better program to reward his people and make them happy than to have to make them all die before they see paradise? He's supposed to be able to do anything, yet he puts people through this. The faithful romanticize this minor detail, but everyone I know and love have died horrendous deaths from either cancer or heart disease and that hardly seems worth going through to get to the pay off.
