I grew up in a Baptist church in a small town. It was pure Hell.
Heaven, I was told, was eternity around the same nit-wits that ruined Sundays and Wednesday Nights for me there....which from my perspective, would be an eternity of torture.
Hell, I was told, was absent of the people that went to that church, so I figured that it must be a good place then.
I spent a few weekends visiting the ex when she was attending Texas A&M. That place was Hell also.
I spent a day liking in Zion National Park. That was heaven. Likewise the grand Canyon, Yellowstone and even Niko Japan. Those places are heaven by example...peaceful, beautiful, serene......And I have been there. SO Yes, I have been to both places.
And since I do not believe in either one as an afterlife destination.......I get to enjoy them right here on earth. Amen.
You are doing something right to be 91 if you ask me. Don't let anyone tell you what you think or feel from your experience is not right or true. Be true to yourself , and enjoy your time here . Congratulations on still having experiences . Some people never have them.

A couple of issues. 1. Don't assume that because some people are obnoxious that all Christians are that way, or that Heaven would be that way. I can understand why hanging out with dry, humorless fundies could potentially drive one away
2. If one does not have a love of God, why would he/she expect to spend eternity in his presence?

My bio on Facebook will give an insight as to my background. My smartwatch showed a negative pulse reading of no heart function for a few seconds afterwards.....that was a function i never revealed in my post....what more can i say here. My daily pulse had been at a avg of 55 then down to 50 then to 45 to a low of 41 which is not that serious in young athlete's according to medics while i am 91. Since my experience? my pulse has been in the 55 to 65 range and my body temp has been also warmer......hated wearing two sweater's and a jacket all day....enough proof?
