If you believe in a afterlife or heaven what is it for you?

mine would be this BIG dinner party inside the this big mansion all my family and people i would like to meet would be their and wed sit their and talk and relive memories in a state of complete happiness for eternity

Listening to Beta Band with all my friends around. Luckily, I have heaven on earth every couple of nights.

The feeling of the highest happiness and love, and the ability to do and experience anything I choose, how I choose at the speed of a thought.

Something like the construct from the Matrix. I simply will it, and its there, no matter what I want. If I want my family, they appear. If I want to be sitting back in my house, thats where I will be sitting. If I want a big pile of cocain to appear on my table, thats what will happen.

The would be the ultimate glory for anyone Im sure. There would be no limits and endless happiness. Hell, if you feel at all bored [could that be possible?] you simply bring on the will to be happy, and thats what will happen. You could change anything when you felt like it and have anything when you wanted it.

Essentially if you wanted to create an entire universe and all sorts of being you could. Hell, perhaps we're simply the creation of some dead guy now just waiting for our turn.

I guess in all reality it would be an eternity alone. While we could create all the people we wanted to be with us, or all the beings we wanted to control at the root we would be by ourselves. BUt the illusion would be more powerful and more real then anything so what does it matter. Every feeling we had, and every thought we imagined would still be there, and with it would exist endless oprotunities without restriction.

I don't think many people would pass up the oprotunity to exist in their own new world as a God. Seeing as how thats kinda what you would be, though I guess that wouldn't make you the God, simply a God with his own little box to play around in. Not really a God then, just an all powerful being restricted to an inescapable plane of existance.

That would kick major ass. You could live out every possible fantasy you had in life and then go on to do other things. And if you die a crippled old man, you could simply go back to being 20 again!

Mine would be Earth, except i could go and do wherever and whatever i wanted to instantly, and i didnt have to listen to anyone else, but could if i wanted.

wow that was deep.

Heaven is a half pipe.

Coelum... nihil aliud est quam spiritualis interioritas.

-Guibertus

Heaven... is nothing other than spiritual inwardness.

SST

EARTH,without stupidity, and intolerance.

So, huge white pillars haven't been mentioned yet. I guess they aint all that.

living in this world as the same person again...but different hapenings.

No offense, but my heaven can easily beat the shit out of yours.

Well, assuming the existence of a heaven, I am inclined to believe it isn't a tailor-made paradise... mainly cause some peoples idea of paradise would likely involve actions that run contrary to Christian morality.

In my opinion, it's probably some platonic and universal "ultimate experience", which everyone desires and is capable of experiencing, but will never realise till they pass over and experience "heaven", in the afterlife. An experience that transcends our worldy desires and beliefs about what ultimate happiness could possibly be.

But on the tailor-made note... the ability to have immortality and super powers in a universe of my own design, which I can change at will... especially the women. I'd have magical races of sexy female aliens who want to capture me and force me to have my way with them. You know, guy paradise.

What the hell does the bible have to do with the question?

Read the question it tells YOU!

fun

SEN D-F's heaven is very interesting. Partly because i was gonna write that and it kicks ass.

It's also a viable and well known theory of the meaning of life (or Philosophy http://www.totse.com/bbs/wink.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/wink.gif)).
