god contains both the feminine and masculine, perfectly blended and mixed; same as our souls. Again, gender belongs to the physical world, not the spiritual world.
If there is no gender then there is no sex, who wants a heaven w/o sex

I really don't get it. Christians usually tell me that once you are in heaven, you will no longer see nor care about your friends and family at all and yet their idea of heaven includes being with them.

A place without hate, bigotry , war, poverty, slavery, violence and intolerance.

A place where the environment is not constantly being pillaged for our greed and lust for material things.

Somewhere we can all be who we are without fear of social ostracism , and rejection. Somewhere with no partisanship and division but one where our shared humanity unites us instead.

On a personal note heaven to me is being with loved ones, having a laugh, sharing a good intelligent discussion, surrounded by beauty and quiet, wildlife, nature, with access to culture and most of all heaven is endless travelling and good food. And dying having led a good decent and fulfilling life full of fun, love and laughter and lots of challenging experiences. Not having too many regrets would be great.
Moose, I'd be very interested to know who reps you

actually the feeling of the best sex you have ever had, or could ever imagine, is just a whisper of a hint of what divine love feels like. Truly. if there were no other incentive than that to cultivate my spiritual side, than that in itself would be enough

why do you think we were given such glorious feelings during sex to begin with? it's to make us want to go home to our divine origins

it's like giving a kid a fast sports car, you want them to have fun with it, but you hope eventually they use it to drive home and say hi

Make some Caribou Lou and 151 will become your best friend, despite bad experiences.

I have yet to meet a person who did not like Caribou Lou.

I've always believed that in Heaven you'll be reunited with your loved ones (family and friends) and I'm a Christian myself

Another one of my perfect ideas of Heaven is going railfanning and seeing all of the US Railroad Companies going through each area and having the trains range from 5200 feet long to 9000 feet long, I always have a soft spot for them trains and I've always been a big fan of railfanning
