Well... I don't know... I kind of like the Family Guy episode when Quagmire (I think) went to the Muslim heaven and the 72 virgins were a bunch of nerds playing Dungeons and Dragons.

My fear is that they would be a bunch of elderly nuns...

The Heaven/Hell concept is so basic and insulting to one's intelligence as to only merit a chuckle.
Some years ago God showed me in a dream a little bit of heaven, and it did not insult my intelligence at all. I do recall when I woke up how disappointed I was to leave that wonderful place. The glory of heaven is beyond anything I have ever experienced. And one of the things I recall, is the joy of seeing my true family. They are the ones who through out time have embraced God's Biblical truth, and will love God forever.

No they wouldn't. Can't avoid something that doesn't exist. Besides, hell definitely sounds like a lot more fun than heaven.

Maybe she has a foot fetish.

And again, nobody has actually answered the question of what you'll DO in heaven.

Heaven is for those who love God. So sinners who hate God or don't even believe in him, well they wouldn't feel comfortable there anyway. I don't know what I'll do in heaven - but it will be the best of this world x a million. And all the characteristics of our nature that are wrong - will be eradicated. Heaven will be joy, light, peace - just amazing!

Be careful what you say. Hell is darkness, pain, grief - everything that heaven isn't. Don't mock. Seek God while you can....your eternal destination is at stake.

Seems to me that the religous marketing department has fallen a little short here since not many seem to know what goes on in heaven. Perhaps one of the cruise lines, like Carnaval, could be contracted to do promotional videos or pamphlets. Just a suggestion.

I would certainly say that it is more widespread now than ever before. All you have to do is tune in to the media to see this....
