Assume there IS a heaven and Hell after death, imagine what its like.

[Abaddon]

So, disregard any beliefs you have about heaven and hells exhistance.. just how do you imagine they would be.


Sat in the clouds? burning in Lava... or a completely different concept? Perhaps you could imagine heaven as endless playtime back at infant school- perhaps its driving a racecar along and endless road.

What do you imagine it to be like.


Also, what of the concept heaven is exactly what you would need to reach near to total happiness, and hell the exact opposite?

 

[Evie]

Heaven is all the believers basking in the glory of god and singing his praise all day for eternity.

Hell is the same thing, but since theyh're non-believers/people who don't like god, it's one of the most cruel and unusual punishment that can ever be thought up.

God (if he exists) knows I'd hate being forced to sing his praises all day :-D

 

[Abaddon]

Lol, i like it. Or more i dont...

 

[Bozo Erectus]

'Heaven' is dissolving into the Source. Hell is a silly concept that doesnt deserve much serious contemplation. Hell is for children.

 

[Abaddon]

what is the Source?

An how can a heaven exhist without its opposite?

 

[King Flevance]

Mine is simply living in an environment not much unlike earth. Maybe that there is even more to explore, infinetly even. There are animals, including the dinosaurs cuz they are cool. Hunger does not exist but eating is possible. I don't think we would have to poop, cuz I hate pooping, so all food is turned into farts because they never cease to be funny.

People that exist today will exist there in a society overseen by God. More then likely a palace of some kind will exist for Him and His angels and people if they wish to live in the palace. I would rather live outside though. Like a lifetime camping trip. Find a nice place to build a house and other stuff mostly like landscaping. I would probably do alot of artwork like sculptures and some comics. Possibly a painting or sketch here or there.

We can breath underwater or simply hold our breath forever. Then easily be able to build stuff underwater. I would definatley have a part of my house that would be a bubble of glass deep in the ocean that I take a roller coaster or something cool to get there and back from the main part. Maybe a suspended mine cart.

I basically want the natural feel of the world to be involved heavily. With creative ideas spanning all over it. That is my cheesy version of what I would like to arrive at the gates to.

 

[Abaddon]

Well i would certainly sign up for your heaven.. sounds pretty perfect to me

 

[Bozo Erectus]

The Source is just that, the source of everything. As far as there having to be Hell because theres a Heaven, why is that? Anyway, becoming god again, or rejoining the Source, isnt 'Heaven' really, its just what is.

Heaven is full of soccer players who put on exhibition matches 24/7. Admission is free, whiskey is served at no cost as well, Jessica Alba clones walk around the stadium and pleasure you while you watch the game, and heaven's best chefs hand-deliver tasty meals to you, which you can consume ridiculous amounts of without getting fat.

In Hell there's 24/7 baseball that you're forced to watch, and hotdogs.

 

[Dreadnought]

For Hell, there are several passages relating to Hell:

"And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 25:30).

"And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name" (Revelation 14:11).

"And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit" (Revelation 9:2).

Heaven, meanwhile...

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." (Revelation 21:4)

"Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward [is] great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets." (Luke 6:23)

"Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present [you] faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy," (Jude 1:24)

 

[Chukchi Husky]

Heaven is only for humans, everything else goes to hell.

 

[Abaddon]

Well what makes something heavenly? How can it be something you desire, if there is not the feeling of a lack of it.

Will rack my head for a more obvious example of what i mean.

Oh yes, tho i'll translate soccer into football for me

Does anything else other than humans have a concept of heaven and hell?

If you desired animals in heaven.. surely they would be there?

 

[Chukchi Husky]

I was told that heaven is only for humans. No animals.

 

[Dreadnought]

I was told that heaven is only for humans. No animals.

Since animals have no souls, they can't go to heaven. So yes you are correct.

 

[Abaddon]

so Dread; just God, angels and humans get in, amongst the clouds?

No concept of desiring animals in heaven? What do you do once your there?

 

[Eukaryote]

I belive in we can choose what heaven is like, what I mean is we basicly make our own world or if the one we want to make is already created by someone, we live in their world, then when we die in that world we get to choose another to go to. Of course you could live in the traditional heven, with clouds and bright lights because that would be a world. Basicly I think that god knows everyone has a diffrent vison for the perfect world so he lets us choose our own, then when we're done there we choose another. I also belive that there are infinite souls because then there are infinite souls that get to be happy, and another plus of having infitite souls is there will always be enough people to join your world.

I also don't belive in hell becuase I think a rightous god that would allow such a place to exist is an oxymoron. However if it did exist I think it would be like the ninth level of hell in that quiz where they say you're a Purgatory or tell you to go to one of nine levels of hell. (see the thread Are you Dammed?)

Humans ARE animals.

Dead men tell no tales - how can we know what heaven is like (except by Scripture passages) if you get there by dying?
