Christians are dooms day cultists AND utopians. Sadly, their theology and world view are just as skewed and wrong as their utopia.
That wacky book of revelations is their description of their utopia, and what a strange concept of a "perfect" civilisation it is. to even qualify for a pass for this utopian society you must completely live your life according to the way the priests have laid it down in the bible. To top it off, these ways of living your life written in the bible not onlycontradict reality and human nature itself, but also contradicts other passages in the bible.
The laughable thing is, the only way a persona can enter this utopia is to die, and rise from the grave.
Then, to top it off, the idea of Heaven itself isnt much for an all powerful being. Its a cube, only a few miles wide and tall, made of transparent gold. All over the pillars of this cube are the names of the twelve tribes of Israel (yeah, the ones who raped, pilaged, slaved, and destroyed many who came across their path). In this cube it is said that Jesus will walk the streets of those who are allowed to enter, which is VERY uncharacteristic of this god-man, as for many thousands of years before he would not much as lift a finger to help a Christian child from getting raped and murdered...now suddenly wants to take an active and fatherly role in your life?
The concept of Hell is also again skewed in this book, as it says just outside of the walls of this cube are idolators, sorcerors, and whoremongers. If we are totake this as the final word on the afterlife of those not found in the book of life, then it can easily be said that, except for a few square miles, the entirety of Earth was converted into a lake of fire to turture all the damned souls. Its quite inhuman if you ask me. To wish and hope that a supposed "loving god" transforms our beautiful planet into a living hell for billions of people.
When people say "there are going to be so many people in heaven, its going to be wonderful." just remember that Heaven is specifically defined in Revelations as being only a few miles wide and tall. How many people can be fit inside that borg cube before they are rowed up like sardines?
