Why Go To Heaven ?
63 Answers
I heard a discussion by a group of theists who were saying why they wanted to go to heaven . It was a bit weird because no one said anything positive.
1. There would be nothing to do because there would be no need to , nothing to aim for, no desire, no ambition, no winners or losers, no one would be dim or bright or talented, everybody equal, no arguements , nothing to talk about , not even the weather or ones health. Nothing but eternal limbo !
As one man jokingly said, it was lust and greed that had driven him to achieve a highly successful life. He said he started chasing the girls when he was 7 and hasn't stopped since.
2. They more or less ended up with a consensus that the only reason for going to heaven was it's better than the alternative.
Surely theists must have another reason for wanting to go ! What do you think ?

I have always thought of heaven as being the best bits of earth. If you want people to debate with, they will be there, if you want to garden or paint or enjoy fine wines they will be there, also the beloved people we have lost.

I agree fender that if a belief does no harm , and may even do some good , why shouldn't you have it.
But how often is that the case ? A simple belief like Father Christmas and the Tooth Fairy are OK but as soon as a belief is expanded into a religion violence is the result and has been for thousands of years. Even here on
R&S ill feeling is generated.
