CHRISTIANITY : Heaven is where God is. When ,we die and leave the flesh behind, our spirits/soul return instantly to our Father . We as mortals cannot comprehend the scope of what heaven will be like, but through faith in Our Savior Jesus Christ, we know it will be wonderful, full of light, truth and peace. Jesus told us He has gone to prepare a place for us with Him in Heaven....and that in His Father's house there are many mansions......Revelation speaks of streets of gold, and a river flowing through by which stands the Tree of Life.....understand, that these are metaphors, as "physical" things will not be part of it. These images and words are chosen to relate to mortal flesh in as close a way as we can understand here on earth. If you are interested, check out "THE Shepherd's CHAPEL", with Pastors Arnold and Dennis Murray. It is a TV ministry that reaches millions around the globe. It is the only source I have found that teaches the TRUTH, God's Word, chapter by chapter, and verse by verse.......Hope this helps.

Flying Spaghetti Monsterism aka Pastafarianism
Our heaven has a beer volcano & a stripper factory. Fear not, if you don't like beer. The beer volcanoes cater to all desires, likewise with the stripper factories (male strippers too).
Bad people also get in, but they get the dishpig & sanitary duties in the pasta kitchens (which also cater to every desire), and get stale beer, week old microwave reheated pasta, and worn-out strippers who wear lingerie bought from City Mission or some other op-shop. Until, of course, they repent their evil ways.

Yes, the most beautiful 'vision of heaven' is in the booklet 'Intra Muros' and it's on the Internet to read for free. It is a very interesting and transforming read.

I won't repost the whole thing here, but click on the first link below for a blog entry I posted some time back about how heaven won't be boring, and hell won't be exciting.
