If you don't wish to address the above, and why should you, I'm totally owning you (joke)...



How about this spanner:

Heaven is that place you dream of. In heaven there is no sufferring. (Skepsis cheers). What is the point of this alternate reality, that our ethereal selves gravitate towards?

Now I've looked into heaven and hell a bit, and I conclude that in the majority of cases, the meaning to be taken is that heaven and hell are states for corporeal existance. You attain heaven by living fully. Elijah (bear with me) did this so well that he didn't die but somehow morphed into his ethereal self. Likewise, hell is a self imposed nothingness that is self destruction.
