Why Go To Heaven ?

[modeller]

I heard a discussion by a group of theists who were saying why they wanted to go to heaven . It was a bit weird because no one said anything positive.
1. There would be nothing to do because there would be no need to , nothing to aim for, no desire, no ambition, no winners or losers, no one would be dim or bright or talented, everybody equal, no arguements , nothing to talk about , not even the weather or ones health. Nothing but eternal limbo !

As one man jokingly said, it was lust and greed that had driven him to achieve a highly successful life. He said he started chasing the girls when he was 7 and hasn't stopped since.

2. They more or less ended up with a consensus that the only reason for going to heaven was it's better than the alternative.

Surely theists must have another reason for wanting to go ! What do you think ?

I agree fender that if a belief does no harm , and may even do some good , why shouldn't you have it.
But how often is that the case ? A simple belief like Father Christmas and the Tooth Fairy are OK but as soon as a belief is expanded into a religion violence is the result and has been for thousands of years. Even here on
R&S ill feeling is generated.
