What Is Heaven Like?

[chrisgel]

I'm genuinely interested in your thoughts on what heaven will be like when you get there.
I have asked many people this question and have received many different answers but the one thing I've noticed is that all the answers are vague to say the least.
The bible has very little to say on the subject which surprises me because I assume that it is the ultimate reward for your lifetime of service to your creator.
What do you think?

bricks aren't nearly heavenly enough ;)

Only went to Heaven the once: so kitsch, as nightclubs go.

I dreamt I was going to heaven. Soaring through the air. Just before I reached the top my dream finished .

I always thought that it was on the back seat of a Cadillac.

No one has come back to tell us if heaven or hell exists, so how do we know? the early inhabitants of this planet thought the world was flat, and laughed at anyone who thought otherwise.

You can dress in any colour provided it's white.
It has air. Hence the wings for flying - no personal jet-packs (sorry).
Dogs and cats are banned because dogs poo anywhere without modesty and some angels are allergic to cat hair.
There maybe an Answer Bank but no Religion and Spiriuality section.
There are no clocks as these would be too big to show the zero to infinity numbers.
The U.S. Bible-belt fanatics, the Jehova's Witnesses and Mormons are always sick because they have no-one to whom they can preach.
The Ku-Klux-Klan are always angry because according to all the heavenly paintings heaven has no black people for them to hang.
The best things that can be said for it are: that mobile 'phones are confiscated at the gate and there is no Christmas Day where (like here and now) everyone is bullied into being happy for a whole day.
The worst that could be said is that it's extremly boring because, unlike a good film, it has no ending.
Oh by the way I won't be going, I've already booked my place in hell. It's hot but very sexy.

I think it's exectly like where I am now except that where I am now actually exists.

The two good things about heaven are :
1. I'm never going there.
2. The Holy Joes are.

Naomi -

I've just been reading your earlier link. Very enlightening and vaguely amusing in a perverse kind of way. As if further proof were needed that the Islamic religion regards women as second class citizens:

--- “... It is permissible for women to ask about their reward in Paradise...”
It's nice of the men to let the women ask isn't it?

--- “... Women should not preoccupy themselves with inquiring about the details of their entering Paradise, what they will be doing there, where they will go, and so on. It is enough for every Muslim woman to know that once she enters Paradise, she will forget all the misery and hardships she ever faced, because her life in Paradise will be one of endless happiness...”
Basically, stop worrying your pretty little heads about it and shut up.

--- “... It is known that women are shy by nature, thus, Allaah The Almighty did not motivate them with something that would embarrass them. Women’s longing for men is not as strong as men’s longing for women...”
Err... I'm not sure this is strictly correct.

I could go on but I won't. Time and sanity forbid me. Suffice to say, thanks for the link and I think I can honestly say that I can't remember previously reading such a misogynistic and patronising article.

Birdie, I know my place. ;o)

Dear Birdie and Naomi,
Well Pixie373 is no muslim judging by her frank expression of views.
Naomi dear, sorry you missed out on a very exciting date with me in hell but Pixie373 clearly would have won by a mile (she's not interested in anti- or pro-islamic views - but gets straight to the point).
Hope you are not too disappointed Naomi.
Oops here comes my other half, must go!
Regards,
SIQ.
