For me, heaven would be a lack of alienation. The whole time I was growing up, I felt comfort was inherently evil. I think that, for me, heaven isn't about couches and milk shakes and never having a troubling thought again.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'd like to think there is a Heaven, and it starts from the happiest day in your life.
I'd rather there wasn't an afterlife, really. I'd much rather not be me for thousands of years.
On earth there is no heaven, but there are pieces of it.
When I've pictured what Heaven would be like, I've always imagined myself free to explore the outer reaches of space.
To me, the idea of heaven would give you certain pleasures, certain joys - but it's very important to have an intellectual understanding of why you want those things.
There is no heaven on Earth. Not now anyway.
I'm an atheist, I always thought, 'This is it.' If there is going to be a heaven, it should be on earth. I feel much happier than most people. I'm fairly stoic about death, but I'm not keen on dying if it's going to be long and protracted. I don't have dark nights of the soul, except occasionally. I'm such a little busy bee.
One of the fascinating things about researching Heaven and Hell is, of course, the fact that there are so few descriptions of Heaven, because most people can't really explain what it would be like beyond a couple of sentences, whereas Hell is quite often personal.
Afterlife, in my mind, is pretty much nothing. This is it. This is what we get, for me.
I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.
