What the hell goes on in Heaven? Are we (those that make it) gonna be in white robes playing golden harps, can you get a beer in heaven, do we worship God all day long, does it even sound like fun to you? Reason I ask is because this past Wed. at Church we had to come up with our own ideas of what Heaven would be like, and what we came up with sounded kinda boring, you know, the typical “singing of hymns and reading scripture.” While I don’t have a problem with these activities, I don’t want it to go on all day.
And I don’t want to hear “you will be united with your family and friends,” cuz I don’t want to be around them all day either. Will all the members of heaven be in an area like Time Square or can I move off into the 'burbs of heaven? Don’t take this thread as a slam on religion, I am a believer, but I just want to hear other takes on what it will be like. I know, I know, I probably won’t have to worry about what goes on in heaven (saved some of you jackasses the trouble of wisecracking).
For what it’s worth, the Scriptures don’t teach that we will all go to heaven, but that God will make a new Earth, and come down here to be with His people. So I imagine that life will be a lot like it is now, just with less BS.

I want 72 virgins I can train to do my bidding. Then organize a hostile takeover of heaven where I take all the attractive females.

Can we still train in Heaven or is everyone already pretty built there? Because that would kind of suck if you wouldn’t have to work for it.[/quote]
In heaven,chicks will dig the ‘inner you’.No need to train at all.
I would pretty much want a carbon copy of myself that couldn’t be hurt, and neither could I. I’d pretty much fight me all day and night, have gun fights, and try to form a stunt team. I’d like to have a drinking competition with myself too and have contest to see who can get the most numbers from the ladies.

Just about everything I consider extremely fun in life is explicity sinful acording to christian doctrine and just about everything I consider fun or interesting enough to fill an wternity with is considered anywhere from sinful to an unworthy use of time by the most commonly accepted interpretations of the religion.
So the question is, can a person be kicked out of heaven? Or does a person only need to make it in the door before they can sin it up for all eternity? I ask this because without any form of sin, distractions from god, etc., heaven sounds worse than hell… in that completely gay sort of way.

Thanks for saying that, I didn’t want to come out and say it myself, but exactly what I was thinking.
To enter Heaven we need to be holy like God, and we can’t work that out, it something God does when we believe with all of our hearts that His Son took the punishment that we deserved. The reason why we all like “fun” stuff is because our human nature craves it, when God makes us “Born Again” our human spirit is given life and that’s when the struggle begins, religion has really screwed up what God wants with us, which is a relationship. When I sin religion wants me to fear God and feel guilty but God want me to talk to Him and be open with my weaknesses, God took care of the sin problem, He wants our frienship and sincerity out of our own will, not fearful robots and unfortunately most “religious” people act like fearful robots.

Funny you should ask dk44. I just saw a commercial on beer heaven. So there must have beer where ever heaven is.
In Heaven there is no beer
That’s why we drink it here
And when we’re all gone from here
Our friends will be drinking all the beer.
Isn’t part of that song:
“I’ve got a girlfriend, I call her ‘Honey’,
we go taverns, we spend her money.”?
Your soul has been evolving from the lowest forms of life, like earthworms, to the highest form of life, Man. Now, you have to be continually reborn until you reach the highest possible state, at which time you hope that God plucks you up from Samsara and absorbs you into non-consciousness.
