If I were to say that I was Mormon, Athiest, Catholic, Jehovah Witness, etc..., there would instantly be an innumerable quantity of very intelligent, reasonable people step up to inform me of the error of my beliefs and possible numerical associations of my I.Q. If I am so fortunate as to find favor with my creator upon death, thus dwelling forever in heaven; will I expect an eternity of close-minded intollerance for any opinion of my own that may differ from any other heaven dweller?
Or should I expect all heavenly inhabitants to enjoy identical experiences and thought processes thus eliminating the possibility of differences. Could it be that whatever miniature portion of intelligence I may possess will quickly be taken and discarded preventing any need for an opinion?
I am very curious to hear your thoughts on this matter. Clever insults directed towards me are also appreciated as I find them terribly amusing (and occasionally thought provoking). Thanks for your time!

I just read "Conversations With Angels", a book of Emmanuel Swedenborg. I recommend you read it.

The heart of it is that heaven is about love, wisdom, and usefulness. In heaven, you can't be insulted, but you will need to choose to know and learn.

Or you can can choose pain and personal indulgence, and reside in hell. Where everyone takes joy in depriving others of happiness, but are themselves deprived at the same time.
