In whats your "heaven" if thats your beleif. What do you think it would look like? This is not a "this is my religion" topic. I dont want that. I want to know what you think it will look like when u die. If this is a very touchy topic, tell me and i will lock it quickly.
I think...it will be much like today is. I doubt we'll lose technology.
But there will also be no pain, no sadness, no hatred, no negative entity at all. The Big Man Upstairs has it all planned out. It'll be great! :D
My heaven would actually be Hell. Hot showers. Sexy, anthropomorphic women. A copy of every video game I want and all of the correct systems to play them all. Sure, Hitler will be there, but hey, if he wasn't, who would be the butt of all the jokes?
Mine would be a lot like Hi no Senjin's and Magmarfires mixed.
Purgatory, then? Remember, I'm going to Hell when I die.
For you I meant the games part, and the women. Except we would have lost technology. It would be more of a medeval world...with video games. ::)
I honestly don't know. It's like trying to come up with the hypercube--I can't comprehend something on a different plane. I know it'll be great though. And I hope it'll be like that song 'My Father's House', and we'd all be playing football in the yard and pigging out.
Except Gluttony is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. And a homunculi.
I will go nowhere, just to the ground.
I believe in reincarnation. I believe that if you're good, you'll live forever, and if you're bad, you'll die when you die.
Ahah, I don't believe in heaven. It seems like you can do anything and go to heaven... oh, you killed someone? Oh, wait, I forgive you. :'D And if it turns out that doesn't get you into heaven, everyone's going to hell.
...Also, heaven has no sickness, no old age, no sin, no nothing. It's like a heaven for castrated sheep.
You can't just lie and be forgiven though, you have to actually feel it and try not to do anything bad again. It's a question of the heart, not the mouth.
I think heaven will be whatever we want it to be. I think that there is a specific place in heaven to meet everyone's likings. Like my mom said it will always be a perfect 75 degrees, but what about people who actually like it cold? Anyways, my heaven would be to spend eternity with my girl in a moderate sized house with 80 degree weather every day, a swimming pool, and a nice community. No work. No pain. No worries. NO KIDS. lol! Of course, if all my research pulls through for me, that could happen. I've been secretly working on a way to chemically reproduce oil. They say its impossible. I say otherwise.

That's a very hindu belief you have there, but let me say something, the point of reincarnation isn't to live forever, that's actually a punishment for the sinners, you see you get reincarnated based on your good/bad karma, if you are a wild axe murderer you will probably be a rock, and a good person with fault will be reborn a human, untill you have lvl 99 good karma and become a part of Brama, what could be called the "god" of the hindu faith, i say that in quotes because the hindus believe everything is brama
Now for a little fun fact: Tibetan Buddhists believe that when you die you go through a 90 day trial of all these gods/godesses, and if you pass the trail you are sent to a room full of couples having intercourse, where you pick your parents.
But enough of me showing off my knowledge of theology
My belief is a mixture of the christian heaven and reincarnation.
Eh, I know. I honestly don't think you live forever if you have good karma, it's just song lyrics. >_> But I guess it wouldn't be bad to live forever...
Pretty much the same as Aureliano, i.e. nothing. Yeah, it's not really pleasant to think about, not existing, but sometimes things just aren't pleasant.
Life itself is heaven, if you ask me. The fact that any of us are here to experience it is its own reward.
Yeah, that's a really girly thing to say. I don't really give a crap.
Also, HNS's idea would be pretty sweet if I believed in such a thing.

Don't listen to them! Great things can happen when you don't listen to other people! ;) For me, people said that it was impossible to have division by zero! Well, in the real number set, it is... But (null) still checks with the Point-Slope Theorem, FTW! :D
And a constant temperature of 75
oF would be very nice. ;)
And no storms at all. Like tornadoes. I find them infinitely fascinating, but I still hate them. ???
Aha, my idea of heaven... has.. no fireworks. Or money.
You just go down the block, get some fabric, maybe a dog, and then go home and eat food and play video games...
It would always be snowy in my heaven. :)
