Hmmm, I was always told that angels were without gender. So I don't think that you'll have much fun there....
But even the Islamic idea we keep hearing about in the newspapers that these "martyrs" are going to get 72 virgins to party with after they blow themselves up doesn't sound like much actually...
I mean, after you've boffed 'em all senseless enough times, wouldn't that get boring also?
For heaven to be all that, you know, heavenly - it could not be any particular way for everybody. I mean, what would be heavenly about that? What might be heavenly for me might be anything but for you.
For my part, in keeping with my Swedish heritage, I'll opt for the old Viking notion of training for the final battle all day and partying my brains out with the Valkyries all night until Ragnarok. Beats singing to harp music.
Once around the block is all we are going to get anyway, so it's of no matter anyway. People are just afraid of dying, so they need to make up little fairy stories to convince themselves there really is nothing to worry about after all.
