LOL great question, even better are the answers so far. LOL @ keep the Atheists out, that's great....too bad we dont believe in heaven or we'd be really hurt ;-0.
I like the "ultimate gated community"
It's like a fairy tail, you never know, it could have gone the other way and there could have been a troll guarding a toll bridge instead of pearly gates.

Gates and Doors are very Important.
They can keep you out or let you in.
On Planet Heaven, the Gates are Carved (12 of them) outta' Giant Pearls!
Now, just think! How big those Oysters were!
Don't Shout me Down!
Have you ever seen the Star Betelguese?
Very Big Star.

To keep out the dogs and whoremongers apparently.
"For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.” (Rev 22:15 KJV)
Does that mean there's whores outside the gates too??? Hmm.

The gates were provided during the time the devil attacked heaven.

It's either the ultimate imaginary gated community or it's a prison...I guess it depends on your perspective.
Around heaven is there also a wall with razor wire interspersed with pearls on top?

To keep us sinners out, apparently.
Either that, or to keep the Christians in once they see how much fun the rest of us will be having. :)
