Describe your Heaven

Ok, now that you have described your hell, describe for us your heaven.

Being alive for all eternity, trying to figure out and deduce the nature of all the new, neverending "unknowns" that I discover with each progression of my understanding of the experiences I have had.

In other words, my heaven is a neverending land of adventure and exploration.

Perhaps, mine would be the role of a guardian angel, for those that may require one, here on earth. No need for 72 virgins for me.

the final scene of the film Longtime Companion when all those we lost to AIDS come filing down to the beach at Fire Island to hug each other and celebrate being reunited.

Kinda like Brien's really.

In my philosophy, if there's no reincarnations (or you opt out) this makes heaven eternal. BO-ring.

I'd like to help people - either little things to help people through the day or larger things like comfort someone after a loss. I like to help people now, so I think that would be cool. ^_^

I would have a gun that doesn't run out of ammo + a ton of zombies = heaven

Basically I would want to be actively pursuing a goal. Whether that be knowledge, exploration, overthrowing God, or killing as many zombies as I possibley can.

Doing anything for eternity would bore me. There are not enough things in the world to not do them all to a point of boredom if I have eternity to do them. Let alone the things I don't want to do in the first place. Heaven would be no heaven.

That's why you should be given a panic button upon entering Heaven. If you get tired of paradise, just click and you'll die again..

Or.. maybe you could occasionally erase your memory so that everything you've done is vague, and you won't be bored to do it again.

Heaven isn't what you are doing, it's who you are with.

Haven is the state of satisfied mind which can exist even when in so called Hell. State of satisfied mind could be achieved with the limitation of desires.

My heaven, if I believed in one?

Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness unfettered by man or nature due to mutual respect, absolving the need for force.

My Heaven? I'm in it. I have a whole world to experience, and the love of my life to experience it with.
And I have the best dog in the world.
Oh, and it's ten to nine on a Wednesday, and I'm sitting in a bathrobe and slippers posting on an internet debate forum.

Sigh. Heaven. Heaven is that state in which we will finally be able experience God, unfettered by our physical limitations, our narrow corporeal minds, and our tarnished, sinful perspectives. We will finally get IT. Right now, trying to see God is like trying to look through a frosted glass, but then, we'll be right there with Him with nothing in-between. And all of our family in Christ will be there with us and we will worship God together, surrounded by His love and the love of those other loved ones. And we'll see people we never met in life and see that we are the same and rejoice together.

And, as I always say: if you don't like that idea, don't worry.



Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6

I don't think this thread asked you to judge other posts.:( It merely asked about your ideas.

Lots of sports in my heaven. Basketball to play. Volleyball. I'm in shape (unlike now, I'm a fat-assed pig) and in the evening, the conferences are realigned, and Washington beats Dallas 52-0 every night in the Super Bowl, but each game is different. Lots of good books to read, and all the music I like plays at the perfect level - in the background at times - full blown, loud dance music at other times. And everyone knows how to dance and LOVES to dance. Mayonase and Steak are healthy but nothing has to die for me to live. I could take an eternity of that, as long as I can watch some good movies, too.


All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground, Scratchin' dirt, cluckin' in the barnyard -
Tell me, could that be you?

An eternity of steak that always existed as "steak" and not "cow"? I'd hit that.

So your reaction to writing a judgemental foolish post is to be a bigger fool? Great, go for it.:rolleyes: We are supposed to be respectful of other's ideas here.

When one find themselves in a hole, the first rule is to quit digging.

Edit: I could ridicule you here for poor English Grammar. You can't even figure out how to use a simple comma, but what the hell, who cares, correct? Get the message?

Nope. I don't get the message. Is there a problem?

Phoenix_fire provided what he believes Heaven is. I commented, saying I thought that would be awfully boring.

You told me not to do that. I apologized.

Yet, you still have a problem. Is there anything I can do to assist you? :]
