Do You Believe In Heaven?

[badstar]

...meaning, in the sense that once you die, the ultimate destination is heaven, there is no progression past that. Be it Christian or some other idea of heaven.

If so...answer me this.

What do people do when they get to heaven? I understand the Christian idea of basking in God's love forever. But once you get there, do you just sit there and bask? Or Is it like being on the ultimate eternal vacation? Or is it like living another life where you have your familiy and a house and all that jazz, without the bad parts?

What do you think? Just curious.

No, no particular reason. Other than the fact that the thought occured to me a few days ago. The idea of reincarnation was brought up in some conversation, but I wondered what people believe happens who believe in an afterlife, but not reincarnation.

oddly enough i had a religious question to pose to my f-list too. It'll be up shortly.

Heaven, has got to be of ones own making. You get a piece of land to put whatever you want, a beach front home, a palacious mansion, a tiki hut... and you get to do whatever you want and see all those who have gone before you.

I'd say heaven is what you make it. For me, it will be one big raging drunken imbroglio without the hassle of puking, liver damage, and interpersonal drama that such a pursuit would trigger on Earth. Good times. :)

My mother is convinced that heaven is a city, just like our own cities, and you go about as you normally do. And people are in this city, doing the things they do according to how they lived their lives.

i think in heaven theres supposed to be a lot of praising going on... sitting around praising God all the time, forever. personally though, my idea of praise involves lots of dancing, ass-shaking, singing, and rocking out!! so i imagine i'll have a mighty fine time, if i ever get there.
