I remember listening to sermons about how great heaven is when I was a kid and thinking Id rather stay here on Earth as long as possible. It sounded boring, hearing about it was boring, and I hated being bored for an hour, eternity would be excruciating. Later I wondered things like: if I'm happy in heaven while my loved ones are being tortured in hell, that sounds like some kind of holy lobotomy is required. The person in heaven wouldn't really be me, then.
Of course, when people were trying to sell heaven, everyone was doing hard labor, a chance just to rest without pain would have sounded pretty good compared to subsistence farming.

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
