I'm not religious. I got 2 months (in total) ban on Fascistbook for being an atheist... What made you think I was religious? Huh

During that reign, believers are back on this Earth. After that, the Earth is changed (one way is that 2'nd law of thermodynamics ceases - entropy/decay). There is some indication that this 'new' Earth will be trillion times larger than is the current size. 

Once God creates a spiritual being, they never cease, i.e., the angel host watched as God laid out the foundation of the Earth, 4 1/2 bya.

Bold mine.

An Earth a trillion (you decide how many zeros you want) times larger makes a planet the equivalent of millions of solar masses. Could that make Earth a candidate for an instantaneous black hole? What do you think?

Then your god steps in to prevent gravitational collapse, and suspends the laws of physics - again.

Do you really believe what you're saying?

I don't think you're religious. 

I think that the way you describe heaven is something that some Christians may believe.

You did not get banned for being an atheist.

I have been vocal about my atheism on Facebook for years.

But it's your lie, you tell it your way.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
