Apparently, he IS thinking!
I was "thinking" the same thing.

I really liked the conversation between Albert Brooks and Rip Torn in the movie, "Defending Your Life" They are having lunch and Brooks tells him he can't believe how good the food tastes to which Torn replies "Yeah, its great and you can eat all you want and not gain a pound."
Now that's my idea of heaven. My only problem is getting there since GLUTTONY is one of my main defects of character here on earth. Also LUST is a biggie for me, but if there are strip clubs then I guess heaven won't be too bad, AFTER ALL (or after life).

The fact that man has created the expectation of living in personal mansions is proof beyond doubt that heaven and its mansions are purely the invention of men, very materialistic and shallow men. But since souls like heaven don't exist, the room required is zero, thus not a problem, just disappointment, for those with such expectations.

Yes..."indubitably". (I like that word too...)
Hmmm...
Well, I don't believe lack of room is ever a problem for God. I mean, when you get to the end of space, what's on the "other side"? More space! Besides, if God is God, then wouldn't He be capable of making the earth bigger? (if heaven were ever going to be on earth)

If you are asking a legitimate question then heaven is pre-anything physical...What is physical comes from something that gave origin to it...If God's physical presence is in heaven then there's enough room for eternity to fit. Planet earth is like a grain of sand on a beach. We are fairly new. Concerning the domain of hell, that implying there apart of reality that God dsnt control and is controlled by someone else. If you dont chose GOD you CANT chose hell. GOD isnt a vengeful punishing send you to hell GOD...You simply will cease to be a personal experience, cease to exist, no soul, no spirit, no personality no mind, no ghost but a distant memory apart of the Universe's experience because you are no longer ARE

Heaven on Earth would eventually appear if every single person on this world did God's will tomorrow.Collectively. Considering how far we've come from savagery to advanced society, not too far fetched but a LOONG way to go
