What do people do all day once they get to heaven?

[Mike Cl]

There is sarcasm in the Bible. God basically is saying that there is far more enjoyment in heaven with various body parts missing than there is anywhere else with everything intact.

This is like a scene from Brave New World (at least as I remember it) of the lower caste working all day together, taken to dinner together when they eat and get soma, then to a movie, then back to bed only to rise and do it all again.  And each and every one of them is very happy with life--content and satisfied.  Much like the Nipper like christian thought.  God will make heaven good by giving them all soma and brainwashing.  And in that scene, I saw Nipper--yep--there he is, right in the middle to that group over there--happy as a clam and praising god. 

Go for it Nipper!!!

...the lower caste working all day together, taken to dinner together when they eat and get soma, then to a movie, then back to bed only to rise and do it all again. 

This is pretty much what the working class does already... Except for dinner and a movie, because we can't afford it. :o[ I would hate to think of the afterlife being more of the same. In fact, if hell is real, maybe we're in it right now. Earth, itself, is hell, and we can only hope that there is some kind of relief after we're dead, even if it's only the final relief of blessed nothingness. I'm kinda hoping we get to pick our own afterlife. Like, if we want to live in a Harry Potter or Doctor Who universe, we can do that.

I personally hope that there is an infinite number of universes, and that when we die, we're reborn into another. So sooner or later, we would end up in a universe similar to Harry Potter's. Solipsism, one idea I've had a strong suspicion is true, would allow for this, if the self is indeed the creator of its own reality.

Only if you are a good Quiddich seeker ;-)

Unfortunately soma is only available for high caste Hindus ... so pray for reincarnation ;-)

I am in Heaven now.  Don't ask me how much I like it though.  I get to be a human being, I have fulfilling work to go to, a cat and an elderly mother to care for.  The food and drink are pretty good ... and I live in the era when we have Internet.

Yeah, but you can get skooma in Skyrim!

There's more sinners in heaven than in hell. Who wants to go to heaven anyway.

Exactly what happens at the end of the Mahabharata.

In Heaven, you have so much money, you can literally swim in it like Scrooge McDuck.

You know what I just realized?  In Heaven there will be no sex.  No boners.  You'll never leave.  It will be the same thing every day with no change.  Everything you need will be provided for you.  You'll have nothing to do all day but sit around, relax and entertain yourself.  Heaven is a nursing home.

I think I could really enjoy living in Baron Munchausen's universe:

Yeah, praise youtube!

You must be me in a prior or future life ... we have both seen Robin Williams as the king of the moon in Baron Munchausen, and liked it.  True lunacy that.

You know, I feel that way as well.  At this point in my life I have very few regrets, I have caring family and friends, and I have no financial worries.  It's great to be here, alive, and surprisingly healthy.
