Where is heaven located? Also, why does God care about homo sapiens?

[TubbyTubby]

Heaven is a halfpipe apparantly.

[Silver]

Heaven exists in the minds of men as a delusion. And only silly humans think there is a special sky daddy that actually cares about them.

[Catholic_Lady]

So where do religious people think heaven exists? The earth's upper atmosphere? Within our solar system? Outside our observable universe? And WHY with so much real estate to lord over does god care what the fuck human beings do to the point of dictating the very last detail of our lives? Inquiring minds are looking to gain a greater understanding of what kind of delusional disorder we're actually dealing with here...

My personal belief is that it exists in another dimension outside of space and time and matter.  Since we can't think outside of that box, it's beyond our comprehension. The best way to describe it in a way that our small minds can semi imagine is that it's not a physical place, but rather, it's a state of being.

Outside of space, time, and matter. or as Rob said, X+1, where X is the limit of scientific progress.

No, he doesn't give a crap about Humans. His favorite solution to any problem involves killing people. He wants you to be completely subservient to him, meaning he doesn't care what you think unless it lines up with what he thinks. He wants followers, but he's not motivated to ensure that at least most of the population of Earth follows him. He's happy to send most people to hell, which according to some denominations is eternal torture with fire.

The bible says for god so loved the world, but his actions towards people don't mesh with what he says. Followers of god concentrate on his words, and justify or ignore his actions. Others judge him by his purported actions if they even humor the idea that he exists at all. Which is still up for debate thousands of years after he started dictating to writers.

Heaven is outside of space and time.  He cares about humans because we developed self awareness.  Other animals have also developed some level of self awareness.  Bottlenosed Dolphins for example.  That's not to say he doesn't care about animals that haven't developed self awareness.  I'm sure animals that haven't developed much awareness at all go to heaven too (not parasites or mosquitoes though.  Fuck mosquitoes.  I'm sure God hates them.  They're fucking terrible.) All the animals that aren't pests go to heaven too.  So humans are by no means special imo.  

I think of Earth as the Beta.  Everything in this world is just the test.  Not like a test of if you're good or bad, but a test to see if creations are 'beneficial' or 'harmful'.  Lions, dogs, cats, etc... they are beneficial.  Mosquitoes, parasites, they're harmful.  Heaven is the final product.

[Bad Wolf]

Lions can be pretty harmful....

Heaven:

At the end of the stairway that you buy?
180 degrees from hell?
At 7/11?
A place on earth?


Caring:

Doesn't as far as I can tell. Not even a xmas card.

Seems our resident 'mental giant' has been slain by the theories of super space/string theory.

I by far am no expert, but at the same time even in my faith can not exclude the idea of a dimensional reality beyond the 4 we/you can currently perceive.

If you look at the descriptions of God, Heaven and Hell and take away the church's rose colored glasses and simply look at what the bible describes from a non stereotypical religious view, One could indeed classify all of that is being inter dimensional or even trans dimensional being by definition. Then your 'quest' to identify a specific time and point in space where these things exist become... a trivial pursuit.

You've given a short shrift to the things you see as horrible.  In this world, the real world, they're important - useful...even required.  It's only in a fantasy land with magical beings that things like bugs, fungus, bacteria, and viruses become a bit difficult to square away.   Ever wonder whether (or why) you and "god" have the same list of -final products-?  Truth be told, if this is the beta - we're loosing to beetles and botflies by a wide margin.  Maybe they're on the list and we aren't......that would certainly explain the botflies......

All creatures are -both- beneficial and harmful. It's a simple matter of perspective.

What makes you so sure that your list is better than mine?  Also, you seem to be under the assumption that any creatures were actually intentional, and not unintentional (including humans).
