Heaven is even better than that. Look at what you're going to miss.

I don't see anything. Can you post a picture if it?

People have tried to, but the brilliance messes up the picture, even with the backlight on.

It is more real than my entire existence in this place, and I have only been there brief moments in my sleep. You see, Jesus told us where to look, (within) but nobody wants that answer; its too vague, too much work. we are creatures who need instant gratification. seeing is believing right? nothing less will do? that is why we look up at the sky, hoping something will happen. It never does. and then we are disappointed, as though it is His fault. sigh. I did that for many years. And then something broke within me. I turned my mind inward, and began to question everything. Then one day, strange and wonderful things began to happen... frightening things.
I found this heaven. it is not a castle in the sky. you see, there is a place between the sleeping world and the waking. some dream, some do more than dream when that door has been opened. few have found it, and it is only by my stubborn and sheer determination, that I did. I have had dreams, and I have been to places no imagination could ever create. I "know" things that comes from a whole other kind of knowledge, not learned here. I have been taken to heavens gate, the door to paradise and I've seen through it. it is a mandorla. call me crazy because I know how this sounds. but I am very much sane and sober. I have heard Jesus voice, and it is a sound I have never heard before in this world. I can't explain it. and it is so wonderful. It is just more REAL than this existence.
I can't "prove" this heaven I have seen and experienced, but I can show you how to get there.

Geez, even 99.9% of Christians will think this weird.

Heaven is in gods bosom. Hell is up satans ass and around the corner.

Now that I'm an atheist, I can't help but wonder if the Bible in so many words, infers that heaven is space? If you are religious, "where" do you believe heaven is? What is it? (your opinion is fine, but if you could describe how you arrived at that, it would be good) I'm not looking for necessarily a logical discussion about the after life because there is no evidence for it. But rather, when you think of heaven, what do you believe your holy book is describing? (Space? Universe?)

That is a very interesting question!
I've thought about that quite a lot, myself.
When I was told about christianity and so on at a young age, I started worrying a lot about about that stuff. It would perhaps interest you that before I was told about that, I did not think about it at all.
I have a belief, but I don't really have any proof. I believe that at the moment of death, our identity is simply eradicated.

We probably won't experience time like we do here. Who knows? He says we'll love it, so however that works, I want to be there.

I have a bridge to sell you. I'm not even going to show you a picture of it, but I'm totally saying I have it, so it must exist. You should want to buy it.

My Mom like many other cherry-picking believers, thinks heaven is in another dimension or plain of existence since it's clearly not in the sky or in space. I ask her where heaven is, or how she knows other dimensions exist, and I get nothing, just sophistry. You can't posit another plain of existence without any evidence to back it up. Heaven and Hell is just the carrot and stick of a religion. Hell used to be underground, clearly it's not and heaven used to be in the mountains, then the sky, then space, now outside space. This plain of existence is the only real heaven or hell.

That's awesome. All those chickens, cows, and pigs I ate went to heaven so I could eat them again when I get there. But where will they go then?

Belinda Carlisle knows where heaven is.

If that is the case, then I want nothing to do with Heaven.

This is what's waiting for you in heaven. Better be a good boy.
