My experience with pastors has been that they do a terrible job of making heaven seem like a place you'd want to spend a year in, much less eternity. That said, sure I'd like there to be an afterlife if it suits me well, just like I'd like there to be a Jinn that grants me wishes in the spirit I ask them in rather than twisting them around. Of course the reason such beings are jerks or stupid or too literal in fiction and myth is that there's no drama in having your wishes granted faithfully. It makes for a boring story. So do most versions of an eternal afterlife, whether intended to be pleasant or painful, they all sound like they'd get old before you do.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
