This is a stupid thread but i dont care :)

What i want is very simple: if you could to choose, how would that be your Heaven (after you die)?

My Heaven/Paradise, whatever, would be a place with many greeny areas and amazing fantastic landscapes, filled with magic. Places like the ones that you see in LotR movies and other similar movies. It would be a place where seeing cascades falling directly from the sky and rain of flowers would be normal. A place of shining colours and natural beauty. But i love people an dpartys, so, my heaven must be filleed with inteligent but very funny and energetic people. It woul be normal to see great rave partys (with amazing never seen music) in excentric places, like in the middle of a magic forest.

I need some urban places, so there woul exist a vast place filled with citys and "normal" stuff too. Finally, i would be a guy very, very, very sexy (the most beautiful :D) and all over the place you would see sexy girls (the less beautiful of it would be so "ugly" like Angelina Jolie or Monica Bellucci :D)).

My heaven is: me, a good woman, and piles and piles of money. We can eat as much food as we want, and never get fat, plus we'd live in a magestic palace, defended by the CGU's Army and the Demon-God Yoshiro (things I created as scifi and samurai stories, respectively).
And sex. Lots of sex with my woman.
:D

The the Earth will continue on and people will try to become more humane and caring about each other and the plants and animals as well. Since greed is the motivating force , I don't think this will ever happen until a catastrophy strikes and people no longer need money for it will be useless.

Music. Music of every variety plus hundreds of new ones that we haven't invented yet. Available by just wandering into the next arena or perhaps by pushing a button. The freedom to pick up an instrument and join the band if I feel inspired, or to suggest an idea for a song and have the performers make it real.

Well... and chocolate of course. It wouldn't be heaven without chocolate.

lol! better than choclate: eating chocolate directly in a nude body of a great women :D (oh no! i am gonna be kicked out from the sci forums!)

How can pleasure exist without displeasure?

Heaven is not allowing those things to consume you or be consumed. It actually can exist! :m:

no stresss

The displeasure that we commend is itself a form of pleasure.

For me it'll probably be a place of unlimited pleasure with total spontaneity. Also, I don't want to have t0 sleep, use the toilet, or care for myself in any redundant way :D

thats important too sony! No WC! lol

Heaven will be a place where I'm constantly 19 years old.
My complexion pristine,
My physique stunning,
Hot sunshine all day and billiions of stars at night.
Lots of drugs (Hey I'm dead so no liver to fuck up!)
Food and drink at will
and all the men I can swallow D:
Failing that
A really comfy bed where I can sleep the aeons away
HEAVEN

What i want is very simple: if you could to choose, how would that be your Heaven (after you die)?
Why should heaven be only after I die?
Heaven is now and it is eternal. I'm in heaven.

Heaven after I die...how about I cease to exist, suits me just fine.

What amuses me with this christian (and muslin) concept of heaven is that you are offered some good time only after your body has started to rot. And all the chicken blindly follow.
They live all their lives (social security, pensions, etc) for some later date, then postpone it to some imaginary place after they decay.
Heaven and hell are different states of mind and perception of the world around.

Heaven and hell are different states of mind and perception of the world around.Back when life was a nearly uninterrupted "vale of tears" for most people, heaven was a way of cheering them up so they would continue to work and support the building of civilization.

Lack of medical care, unbelievable poverty, serfdom or outright slavery, back-to-back wars, children dying long before adolescence, wives dying in childbirth--there was little to live for, to work for, or to look forward to. It was in the best interest of the ruling class for their unwilling constituents to believe that they would be rewarded with an afterlife. One in which their loved ones didn't die, they weren't wracked with hunger, illness, and pain, there were no evil lords to take what little they could produce and no armies to fight over which particular evil lord got to take it while they busily destroyed that which the evil lords wanted to take and killed those who created it.

It was a great idea for the Roman emperors to encourage the people of their squalid empire to adopt a religion that promised them that. Do your job, be humble and orderly, and you'll get a whole new life when this one is over. Who wouldn't want that dream? And what ruler wouldn't want his vassals to believe in it?

It's not even hard to imagine how these legends sprang up. The idea that there is another realm inhabited by supernatural beings is not just ancient, it goes back into the Stone Age. It's an archetype--a pre-programmed instinct in our unconscious. (Reasons for this being in our brains have been discussed elsewhere.) It's not much of a leap to suspect that when we die our "spirits" go over to this "spiritual" realm, where obviously everything will be fabulous.

BTW, muslin is a type of cloth. I believe you're talking about Muslims. :)

Of course, I know it well, but that was the natural continuation of life, hence the stone tools and all the rest that is needed in this world (like a plant rising again after the winter (death)); whereas the christian and muslim (thanks!) concept is that of some unimaginable godly glory where you don't get if you don't follow some thought of rules.

Though now we walk into another topic to which I made a thread some years ago and it's also been well discussed. It's about fear as the key concept of governing the people of judaic religions. No need to reply, I understand your point well.

My heaven would be a place which is just like this; with struggles and challenges as well as rewards and gifts. A place in which evil does exist, but good keeps in in check, and vice versa. A place just like the one we live on now.

Live well,

In what deluded fantasy-world are you living?

In what deluded fantasy-world are you living?

None. To have happiness with no evil would be without purpose. To have evil without happiness would be without sense. There always must be a balance between the two. Otherwise, why would you live? If all was well, and all was happy, what purpose would their be in living on?

But then again, one man's trash is another's treasure.

Isn't good/evil a matter of perspective? You could've simply said 'the world we live in'

my heaven would be:
a) I would have access to books and tutors on any subject I choose
b) be able to go anywhere instantly and able to survive any environment (to explore space)
c) to be able to end it when I choose.
d) companionship throughout my journeys by a good woman (we humans are a social lot)

part c is important, I would never want an eternal heaven; heaven and hell have the same end behavior as time approaches infinity. they both end in desensitization and extreme boredom.

True. Good point. Thanks :)

Why should heaven be only after I die?
Heaven is now and it is eternal. I'm in heaven.

My question is obviously just for some fun. Not exactly a real question.

To be honest, my answer about how should be my heaven is not the real one. Indee, i would like to life for some years in a place like the one i described, but that still being illusions at the same. My spirit would be the same one that brings me both happyness and sadness. So, my real heaven should be in my sould. It would be the Nirvana, a state of mind where i would see the world how really is. A mindfulness state of mind, a mind full of lucidity.


Our real heaven starts in our mind.

dudes,
i dont know wht was said, i dont give shit too (;) )...
But a nice women in my bed, with everclear shots or baccardi 151...aaah thts the shit


Later
Rick

It would be just like reality, only it wouldn't suck.
