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

What about pizza? WILL THERE BE PIZZA?

Well, since there's no animals there must be no cows and without cows where would we get the cheese for the pizza?

DOH! You exposed my masterful logic trap! CURSES!

Couldn't God just make the ingredients grow on trees? "let's go pick some pepperoni berries"?

 

[Dreadnought]

In heaven you can snap your fingers and God will make a pizza for you

 

[Abaddon]

In heaven you can snap your fingers and pizza will appear, gods to busy smiteing people.

The bible does not claim there will be no animals in heaven. Maybe my cat Jynx won't go to heaven but that doesnt mean God won't make new animals. The bible claims "Everything in heaven will be as it is on Earth." or something like that. I don't think it has any passages that say "there are no animals in heaven".

This isn't exactly true. The Catechism, which interprets the Bible, tells us that heaven is simply forever union with God in Kairos, which is God's time, compared to Chronos, Human time.
I think it sounds good, and yes, I'm Roman Catholic.

Someone who likes Notre Dame who's Catholic? Shock!

Actually, I am a student at ND (until a week from Sunday) and I'm Mormon.

@El_Mac: it's not "popular" Christianity in the sense that it's what most people believe, that people like your grandmother are in hell. It's just what was generally believed 100 years ago.

Anyways, I would describe heaven as indescribable in human terms. It is beyond our ability to use words, let alone know what it is like. It is better than can be imagined, and we will be in the presence of God, and everyone there will rejoice in that fact (even those who don't believe in Him now). Hell is the same deal, except without God there.

According the science, yes. On the other hand, the bible disagrees. Since the bible, not science, in the major supporter of heaven, then I'd have to go with no animals are in heaven.

As a Catholic, I to agree to this that Humans have souls while animals do not.

Yay!! Another Catholic in CFC . Hmm, never thought of that, if I may ask, which paragraph in the Catechism of the Catholic Church may I find that statement? .

Eh...hypothetically, Heaven would be a very, very fast computer, a very, very comfy chair, absolutely zero distractions, a 0% chance of writer's block, and unlimited inspiration. Basically: Writer's Heaven! Well, include in that a happy family and the ability to publish my work from beyond the dead, and there's my heaven.

Hell would be eternal sensory deprivation and paralysis. No sight, no sound, no touch, no taste, and no smell. No movement, either...nothing. Not nonexistence, since the mind would still exist. There would still be thought. Just...nothing else but thought.

EDIT: ...good day. I am Global Nexus, and I kill topics.

So God is your servant?

 

[Dann]

Old joke:

Heaven =
American standard wages but Chinese standard cost of living,
a Japanese wife,
French chefs,
German mechanics,
British police,
Swiss politicians,
and your lover is an Italian.

Hell =
Chinese standard wages but American standard cost of living,
a Japanese house,
British cooks,
Italian mechanics,
German police,
French politicians,
and your lover is Swiss.

I think I've managed to offend everyone.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

Why British police?

 

[Abaddon]

cos there seen as "PC Plod" - an approachable bobbie on the beat, not corrupt.etc. i presume.

 

[BirraImperial]

Heaven= a place with no worries, sadness, ilness, money, hathred, sins, etc. You choose exactly what you want and how you want it, you spend eternity with the people you love, and everything is perfect.

Hell= you are forced to listen to Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro speaches all day, and Bush speaches at night.

 

[Perfection]

So God is your servant?

And your man-whore too!

In heaven you can snap your fingers and pizza will appear, gods to busy smiteing people.

God can multitask

 

[Abaddon]

God can multitask

Are you saying Gods a woman!

 

[Elta]

So God is your servant?

No he is like your friend who buys you stuff when you don't ask
Hell: you cease to exisit or your reincarnated
Heavan: you are a god in and of your self and you get to create your own worlds.... I wouldn't be suprised if god had a god either and we exisit only in his mind and his in his and his in hers etc etc

 

[Dreadnought]

So God is your servant?

Hell no, since you get to heaven by serving him, he's just repaying the service

 

[puglover]

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

I find that extremely hard to believe. Would God create animals to populate the earth and then spontaneously kill them all?

 

[EolTheDarkElf]

I don't know about Heaven.

I would imagine Hell as some sort of sensory and emotional deprivation. Nothing tastes well, no pleasant sounds, no nice scenery, no love, no feelings except the overwhelming feeling of emptiness and loss. Everything is bleak, uninteresting, grey, pointless. All the directions are the same, and wherever you turn the world is the same in its nothingness, there's nothing to be heard or seen or smelled or tasted. Nobody to talk to. No wind. It's a world from which something very, very, very vital was taken away. Never to be returned. You might call it God if you want to. Or maybe it's just that you, being a sinner, can no longer really appreciate anything.

I have things to regret and there are times when I feel like sitting on the first step of the stairway leading down to this kind of hell. Nothing is fun at times.
