Whats to do in Heaven?
I was reading a message board where someone posted the question '' Regardless of your beliefs, if you could choose what happens after you die, would you choose the risk/reward scenario of a heaven or hell or would you choose nothingness?" And that got me to thinking.
I always figured if a heaven existed than that would be awesome cuz I always thought of it as a place where you could live out all your fantasies. Then it occurred to me that a lot of fantasies a quite sinful. Not just sexual fantasies, even pigging out on desserts is the sin of gluttony (which from watching tv and movies I'm led to believe is a popular one for the ladies). So once in heaven would we still be limited to only doing sinless things (snoozefest) or can it be one big fantastical orgy of indulgences? If its the former than I kinda wonder what all the hoopla is about. I guess it beats the alternative of eternal torture.
Another thing with this heaven deal. It appears as soon as we get to the pearly gates that God or Jesus or St. Peter or whomever puts us to work. Like the deal with guardian angels. Would this just be like an initiation type thing "Thou shalt perform 10 tasks before thou shalt partake in the bounty of the heavenly orgy". Or, drawing from tv/ movies again, being some servant to someone higher up in the 'perfect world' . To that I say bullshit. As an aside - I always assumed those servants were not actual souls or spirits but just apparitions one could conjure up to fulfill ones desires, thus no harm no foul.
So as a final point I just hope if there is such a thing as heaven then I hope its like nightclub. Where you have to be all good and shit to get in, read lead a good life, and then you can let loose and anything goes once inside. Cuz if its just a different place to live by all the same rules and one still must worry about being smited by the All Mighty then I really wonder whats the whole point? If the latter is true I say let your hair down once in awhile and indulge in certain temptations before you go to a place where those things may become more restricted or non -existent altogether.

Why go to heaven when the party is in hell? I'll bring the graham crakers, you bring the marshmallows and we'll get someone else to bring the jersey milk (tm). We can make smores over the hell fires.
