Assuming heaven is an actual place you go to when you die, a real kingdom (I myself do not believe, so Atheists please go with the 'assuming' part, rather than argue it's not), what do you think you are likely to find there?

I almost forgot, this applies to every religion that has a version of heaven, whether it's called heaven or not.

Lazar: How very comforting to know that you would take pride in watching others, OTHER HUMAN BEINGS, get tormented with fire and sulfur.
Sounds horrible to me, enjoying whatever luxury you didn't describe, while watching my friends, my family, my brothers and sisters burn and not being able to do anything about it. Punished for not being exactly like you.
This, ladies and gents, is the dark side of Christianity, and I sure hope Lazar can be educated by a real Christian. I have met a few, so I know you're out there.

I don't personally believe there IS a best answer for a question such as this. I believe that all answers given are of equal merit, and the selection of a best one could only be based on how much I (or of course the asker of a similar question) agree with the answer.
Which takes away the whole point of asking. So I will leave it as is: a testament to the differences of viewpoint as to what is contained in the definition of heaven (or its equal).
Although, for my part, I will declare that I agree most with Lady M's answer. Surely no location could cater to everybody's ideal. Surely it could not, therefore, be a place. It must be a state of being one with the universe, as that is truly impossible to achieve physically. The only thing that cannot be done in life must be the ultimate reward in death.
Chocolate in heaven? What if I'm allergic? That would surely be hell for me. See what I mean?

I believe Heaven is an actual place and I have the hope of going to Heaven not because of my goodness but because of the Grace and Righteousness of Jesus.
I expect to see my Triune God, His Angels and the Righteous living with eternal bliss and happiness.

There are no assumptions invovlved you already know what awaits you on your "death" you are spirit and will remain spirit and you will continue you will still be aware the kind of continuance and whether it is pleasing or not is determinedby what you THINK now so if you imagine your hell as an iceworld then that is what you will experience. If you choose to spend the remainder of your life pursuing spiritual enlightenment then the fields of heaven will be a pleasant summery place with gentle breeses and the companionship of your loved ones.

Atheists looking very confused, due to the fact that they were wrong about heaven, and all the religious idiots would have broken all the rules in their own narrow minded dogmas' and be below lol.

My ancestors I hope. I will live on through my children and go back to my ancestors. Maybe I'll go to a hall of the gods, I dont' know. I'll find out when I die.

answers. knowledge. truth.
I also think we're all going to be surprised at who is there & who isn't.
"physical" aspects? beats me. I don't really expect pearly gates, though it's a nice image.
You know, Lazar gave almost the exact same answer to this question, too. Seems to be a pat answer for him.

not calling "it" heaven, but if anything, I would think what would be found would be total complete oneness and knowledge of the Universe by returning to it on a level we don't understand

I expect to see Jesus and God. My family that have passed on before me and I expect to be at peace like the bible say we'll have once we get there.
