What do you do when you go to Heaven?

We get new, perfect bodies (this mortal puts on immortality, or whatever Paul said). Brain states get reproduced or a modified version gets reproduced.

We will praise God for eternity. That is the only thing I know of, other things are speculation.

Those who wouldn't wish to be there, won't be there.

You will be spiritually fulfilled. That will change everything. I've experienced this for a few minutes, describing it is beyond me. I think also that you will have no more basic needs.

That's for those who go to heaven. The bible also speaks of a new heaven and new earth and some religions have some of us, 144,000, going to heaven and more of us going to the new earth, but who knows? Whatever, it will be an adventure. I just hope I can be here long enough to support my wife to endure whatever hardships and share whatever joys lie ahead on this earth.

I wonder if there will be challenges still. Maybe that's why there's a new earth. Things will be so different that it may be beyond our comprehension, like the size of the universe, a whole other order of existance.

Regarding what you 'do'. I think everyone gets a deck of cards.

Bodies? Souls. You can't quantify Heaven or eternity.
Quite the adventure.

Cheerleader Bondage!

What's so great about being happy?

I'm happy now, here on Earth. I don't want to do this for eternity.


I know this is a hypothetical question, but I can't help but say that Heaven is a stupid thought to have, and spirits/souls. Only humans have it right? Or all living life? Including spiders and microorganisms? If only humans, how do we get them? Is it a few hours after birth? Some point inside the womb? When some boy-raping religious dude pours toxic water over me or the moment where the pulses in my brain accept Jesus as my saviour?


Don't get me wrong, my mind is open, wide open, but some things are just stupid, like Heaven and Scientology.

I could do stuff on Earth for an eternity provided I don't get all old and the Earth keeps a changin'

Perfection, extreme religious people live their lives preparing to be happy - but instead just die, the rest of us fulfil our lives the best we can.

[Jon Miller]

That is a lie. Christianity is more than just about the afterlife. It is about the transforming power of Christ now.

It's not a lie if SnOOpy believes what he posted. Still incorrect, but not a 'lie'.

[FrostyBoy]

Come on, who fulfils their life more, a paleontologist, or a preist?

[Lancer]

It really depends on which one has connected with God.

Indeed, tie up your cheerleaders while you still can.

I think you are like in constant extasis due the beauty/perfection of God, and worshipping 24/7 for all eternity.

That's exactly the kind of thing you would say. If I change the word God to something else, it has the same meaning:


It really depends on which one has connected with butter.
