    singwell-is off researching a lot

    Perfect, a place of activity and great relationships. Lots of singing and getting to know each other, and getting to know God better. Full of light. A place to learn and be happy.
    Revelation 21
    Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

    It doesn't matter what my idea is. It is what it is really like that matters. You can find some beautiful descriptions in the Book of Revelation, especially Ch21.
    It is a place of activity, joy, learning, new experiences, and light.

    To be part of a society whose conduct is such that “God is well pleased with them and they are well pleased with Him” HQ (Holy Qur’an) 9:100
    The HQ has many descriptions of heaven. Here’s one from HQ 43:68-73 “O My slaves! For you there is no fear this day, nor is it ye who grieve; (Ye) who believed Our revelations and were self surrendered (to our will), Enter the Garden, ye and your wives, in (beauty and) rejoicing. Therein are brought round for them trays of gold and goblets, and therein is all that the souls could desire, all that their eyes could delight in:. And ye are immortal therein. Such will be the Garden of which ye are made to inherit because of (the good) what ye used to do. Therein for you is abundance of fruit, from which ye shall have satisfaction.”

    A big party.

    Of all things to which Jesus could have compared heaven, He chose to compare it with a great feast. (Matthew 22:1-14, 25:10, Luke 15:23)

    Heaven is pictured as a wonderful banquet, filled with happy guests, and filled with the warmth of love and friendship.

    "Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready; come to the feast." (Matthew 22:4).

    With love in Christ.

    Non-eixtant because logically it is so:

    1) Things without mass cannot exist without things with mass to support them. A word cannot exist without ink and parchment to record it nor sound waves to transmit it. Software cannot exist without metal and plastic hardware to run it. A thought cannot exist without active brain cells to create and sustain it. Everything that makes a person who they are is in their thoughts and actions, one cannot think if one's brain is dead nor act if one's muscles are decaying. Hence, the moment your body dies YOU die.

    2) Everything that has a beginning has an end, that's the natural order to things. If something has no beginning then it has no end and it is eternal, the very definition of the soul. If the population of people on this planet was static then fine, in the beginning there were a certain amount of souls and the moment one person died their soul would carry on in the body of a newborn child. However the population isn't static, it is ever increasing. Where are these new souls coming from? They cannot be created otherwise they would have to die at one point rendering them not-immortal, defying the very definition making them not souls. How many more souls are needed to inhabit the entire population in the future?

    Therefore there is no such thing as an afterlife but for argument's sake let's assume that there is an afterlife:

    1) Hell would be torture by everything that you hate being forced onto you but after a while you get used to it and possibly get to like it. Ening up as heacenly. Heaven, being the opposite of Hell, would be eternal bliss in all actions that you find enjoyable. Jean Paul Satre said "Hell is being locked in a room with your friends." This means that everything that you like for eternity will end up annoying you and you end up hating it: How much chocolate can you eat before you feel sick? How much sex can you have before you start to ache? Therefore Heaven ends up as hellish. Hell becomes Heaven and Heaven becomes Hell! This cannot be though, they are only Heaven and Hell, they cannot merge or they will cancel each other out and cease to be.

    Hence, neither Heaven nor Hell can exist.

    Anything you want. Personally, I think you'll go where you think you'll go. If you think you'll go to heaven, you'll go to heaven. If you think you'll end up in hell, off to hell you go. So, heaven could be various things in my point of view.

    Heaven as in the concept of a literal place? I describe that as "nonexistent". Heaven in a figurative sense I describe as being with those you love, and knowing you are loved in return.
