So, to put it more simply, what you understood is that these people believe that the afterlife will be better all around than this (physical) world.

Of course they believe that. I thought that was already obvious, Summer. Ask yourself, which Christian doesn't believe that Heaven is all around better than Earth? I don't think you will find any.

Also, in your OP, you were concentrating more on the natural beauty of the world itself as opposed to "all around" better.

I agree. Sometimes it does.

Punishment? I don't personally agree with that.
A test? Maybe
Not something to be enjoyed? Not necessarily. I'm sure that Christians enjoy a lot of things in life.

I understood that. Smile
