if ignorance is bliss, which it is, in a sense, then ceasing to exist would be the ultimate ignorance of everything that has happened, is happening, or ever will happen. the ultimate bliss. everyone goes to "heaven". your thoughts? arguments?

i just sort of thought of this while answering another question and thought id see what everyone else thought.
and honestly, everyone who answered with christianity, the main assumption to this is that christianity is a false. that was sort of the starting point, i though.

When you die your spirit goes on living. Your spirit is the most misunderstood part of you. It is your spirit that all emotional feelings are coming from. Not your heart. When someone died or left you and your heart was broken it wasn't literal. That painful feeling wasn't even coming from your heart. It was coming from your spirit as all emotions come from. Now imagine three things. First the greatest feeling you ever felt. Most likely if you have ever been so in love you could almost walk on air and you couldn't quit smiling then you know what bliss feels like. Second if you have ever been so heartbroken you thought you would die from the pain then you know what hell is like. And if you go to sleep and don't dream then you know what it would be like to cease to exist. All three of these are different. And to get the bliss you have to go to heaven, not hell or cease to exist. To get to heaven you must forgive anyone and everyone who has transgressed against you. Then you must ask God to forgive you in Jesus name. You must use the name of Jesus to receive forgiveness. Lastly you must believe Jesus was real. That he once walked the earth teaching and that he was crucified, and that he rose from the dead 3 days later. You do all of that and you won't ever cease to exist. You will instead experience everlasting bliss.

Although it would be nice if everyone went to heaven, it's not true. By saying this you call The God of all creation a liar and are directly hostile to Him and His ways and therefore are an enemy to Him at this time...if these are your true thoughts.
There is only one way to heaven, it's a very simple way, and it is thru the blood of Jesus Christ.
Without His reciept of His sin payment to your "sin account" the best you'll ever feel is on earth.
God wants ALL man in heaven, and He has made a way for us ALL to get there but sadly only a small number make it.
"Wide is the road to destruction and narrow is the way to heaven".

Not everyone goes to heaven.
The Bible limits the number.
(Revelation 20:4) And I saw thrones, and there were those who sat down on them, and power of judging was given them. Yes, I saw the souls of those executed with the ax for the witness they bore to Jesus and for speaking about God, and those who had worshiped neither the wild beast nor its image and who had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand. And they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for a thousand years.
The ones that God chooses have a job to do...above.
Rev. 7;4 and 14;1 mention a number;
144,000
But billions have died.
What is their future?
(Revelation 20:12-13) And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds. 13Â And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Ha′des gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds.
Resurrected back to a fleshly life on the earth.

You are seriously stretching the language there.
Non-existence lacks anything which could be said to exist.... including bliss. It is beyond constructive description entirely.
"Heaven" might not exist.... but nothingness itself is not "heaven".
