Heaven, Is there such a place?

capt_buzzard · 05-17-2005, 11:55 AM

Millions of professing Christians assume that they will ''float off to heaven'' when they die. They were told about playing on harps or staring in God's face for all eternity. Few of us even dared to rigorously question our ministers or priests to prove there is such a place. Is there really such a place?

i don't know any-one who has returned to explain what they experienced? i think it depends on the individual as how ones passing determines your flight to heaven, we just never come back. everyone in heaven is too busy enjoying and have forgotton us down here.

Well, the absolute honest answer is WHO CAN TELL? And how do you define heaven in any case? Could it just be that your spirit, soul or whatever, when your earthly body has expired, is just at peace / rest, and that was taken to be `at heaven`? Or is it something much grander, if it exists at all? Who knows?!

As a Secular Humanist, I have a hard time believing in Hell let alone Heaven. I think that Heaven & Hell can be right here and now. Make the best of it in this lifetime, cause that's all she wrote.

Heaven to me was my awesome bed this morning. Man, I didn't want to leave!

I believe in heaven. It makes me feel better to do so.

Crumbs, that must have been some experience. Would you be happy to tell us about it? If not, that's cool.
