If it were real, you'd be happy forever. How you say? Who the eff knows. There's a magical place we'd be going to after we die if we were good with a big magic God thing in some alternate existence. I'm pretty sure all logical bets of how long you could or couldn't stay happy for would be off in that scenario.
I like to discuss it. Why? Because I think hope for Heaven and an afterlife is one of the main reasons why religion and belief in God still exists - it helps people lay their head down at night. And it's important to me that I can show people who believe in such nonsense why it's not even a very good idea in the first place, and why the entire concept is ridiculous. Being a mindless drone condemned to experience happiness and only happiness (which is the opposite of free will) for the rest of eternity in a paradise that never ends is a disgusting concept. I don't want my fellow human beings believing in this garbage. Lessening the appeal might make people more willing to question the existence of it altogether.
