Of course, I don't want to go to hell. But I get An angry feeling when most Christians want to tell me how perfect their heaven is, it doesn't sound perfect, and it's not beyond criticism. I don't want to go there if I can no longer have urges our get to have sex because I don't need it or anything. I also wish they will stop scaring others by talking about the end. I like Earth as it is and I do NOT want this world to badly end.

I do have doubts about God's plan for life on Earth too.

If you have run into people who are confident about how life after death will be or the end of the world as we know it, you have run into people who are blowing smoke. My recommendation; figure out what is valuable to you here and now. Caring about people works for me.

Heaven is not about sex ,nor is there sex in heaven men are as the angels of God there is neither marriage nor the giving in marriage .
Your soul is not sexual ,only this body is .
When this body is dead the soul is free of it but , those whom own it will harvest it.
Ownership comes from one's preference to serve.
God harvests those the serve Him .
Satan harvests those God rejects.
Men think God is worried about volume, because men worry about volume, not God.
When God guided Joshua in picking out his army, God cut it down several times , because performance matters.
Heaven will have those God want's in it, not those you want in it.
IF you want to be included ,behave that way.
If you want to be excluded, do nothing.

Yeah, who wouldn't get tired of hearing things like this about Heaven:

"Well, imagine the very peak of a perfect sexual org*sm,
except this org*sm never stops. It keeps going on forever with no
decrease in its powerful and flawless intensity."

"The Disappearance of the Universe"- Gary Renard, page 7

I remember a while back talking with a woman about consciousness and machines and she said she would rather have a biological body than miss out on all the sexual feelings etc.

Apparently though, one can have sexual feelings without feeling like they are in a physical body in a physical universe (like with lucid dreaming etc)

But in relation to the thread topic, I don't know what 'perfect' really means. But I have read info (from those experienced with Astral Projection) that there are many 'heavens' and that these exist because the individuals experiencing them actually create them.

Funny thing is, they are distinguishable from each other (thus are seen to be 'many') and not at all the same.

so every 'souls' idea of perfection obviously differs.

I just don't get why someone wouldn't want there to be any biological stuff in Heaven either. It's like God can't trust humans or is just paranoid.
