What is your idea of heaven?

[wizard69]

The biblical definition is that you will spend eternaty telling god how wonderfull he is and singing praises to him (because he might be a tadge insecure?).
But leaving all that religious cr@p aside, if you could be in heaven what would it be like?
Personally I would like to be with Mrs. wizard and my son and stepson.A plethora of books would be available to me along with the internet.(I love learning new things) and my favourite rock c.d's.(sex pistols,motorhead,queen,vivaldi, etc...im quiet eclectic in my musical taste) There would certainly be an abundance of strong lager and there would have to be an extreme sports club (parashuting, bungi jumping and white water raffting, etc).
Over to you fellow A.B.er'S.....................

I personally would like the unimaginable scale of loving and being loved, rather than settling on something that I could imagine.
And the Sex Pistols? Aw c'mon Mr Wizard! It's not April 1st for a while y'know?

wiz, I don't think you've quite grasped the idea of the after-life. If I'm sitting on the cloud next to yours, I do not want to listen to you playing rock music, thank you very much. And another thing - how can you go white water rafting on a cloud?
I have a feeling that you're not taking this thing seriously enough.

As far as I can tell Heaven would be very boring. Now Hell that sounds like fun, definately where the lager is anyway.

Wasn't it Satre who said that hell is other people?

When you think about it carefully it's clearly eternity with other people - Humans have such an inbuilt need for stimulation that an eternity of any one thing would be hell.

I'm reminded of a Book by Michae Moorcock called the Warhound and the world's pain where the Devil shows Hell to a soldier - a bleak featureless plane and describes it as infinite.

"with infinite variety?" asks the soldier - "oh no" replies Satan "you're confusing it with Heaven"

I quite like Homer Simpsons chocolate day dream.
I'd also want piping hot tea on tap.

And I'll have Evangeline Lilly, Kristin Kreuk and Superman era Teri Hatcher to keep me company.

Hearing you say, "I believe in Jesus."

[Llamatron]

I believe in the tooth fairy.

I am so glad someone steered me here, because I would love to discuss the resurrection. For instance, if Jesus just swooned on the cross and was revived, he would have been knackered 2 days later, so how could a half-crucified cripple inspire people to die for him ?

If he died, why did not the Jewish authorities just shut up the annoying disciples by producing the body?

Why do the Gospel accounts have women discovering the empty tomb ? A woman's evidence was of no worth in those days.

The most compelling evidence is the behaviour of the disciples after the crucifixion. Men do not die for what they know to be a lie.

whiffey...have you considered the idea that it might have been a ledgend???

Sorry I'm a bit late responding to this one, but my idea of heaven would be to see people of all races, colours and creeds living together in harmony, and for everyone to see the light (sorry!) and know that organised religion is bunkum.

Mani - 7 Virgins? You'd never get into the bathroom! How can that be heaven?

naomi24 - What light?
