Even as a Christian I never liked the idea of heaven. I never wanted to go there. It was more like...well like I was resigned to going there because I was motivated to avoid going to hell. It was like, enjoy this beautiful shattered world while you can because when you die you're going to spend eternity in some awful artless place where everyone is in capable of feeling sad or negative. Some world that in my mind seems like it must be a place where god forces you to enjoy being miserable.
The morer I think about heaven now,the more I can't help but think that it sounds like a celestial north Korea.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

When I was a Muslim, I had bad thoughts about two things:
1: People I know going to hell e.g my grandmother and her peers for having tattoos (they used to have tattoos before the Islamic revival)
2: how heaven is going to be boring, and I asked questions like (are there video games in heaven? Don't you get what you want in heaven? Aren't video games and music hated by god?)

How can infinite life be less valuable than finite life?
