No new ideas will be present, no sources of conflict or growth, and no challenge. So now we've got a realm filled with doctrinally-obsessed windbags who now have confirmation that their personal interpretation of how life works is sufficient to earn them a ticket to heaven, and what happens next? Any tiny, piffling differences that do exist will become sources of conflict, because these kinds of people, the ones happy to bandy about their presuppositions, believe on faith and tell everyone else who is and isn't a True Christian, are exactly the kinds of people who would cause fights over the tiniest points of disagreement.
You might be on to something. Perhaps Yahweh designed Heaven as a goof -- a great celestial coliseum where Baptists, Catholics, and members of other sects can fight it out for His amusement.
It sounds a hell of a lot more entertaining than any version of Heaven I've heard of so far.
