Post #2Is there any justification for heaven at all ? As I understand, the Christian belief here is that we don't get to see heaven while on earth, and we don't get to go back to earth once in heaven. That neatly makes it impossible to prove or disprove it's existence. Anyway, given all that, isn't it meaningless to ask if anyone found it was good or boring?Wootah wrote: Is there any justification for the idea heaven will be boring?

I'm pretty sure I already know what life will be like after I die, for I have experienced it already. It will be exactly the same as for the 14.5 billion years before I was conceived. Neither boring nor exciting.

From the OP:
What's it like, y'all that've been there?
Are there whores? Banjos and fiddles? Barbecue? Did George Jones make it up, or'd he go, ya know, down there? What about Waylon and Johnny?
On the way up, do they have the liquor in them tiny little bottles, so's I can pretend I'm Andre the Giant?
Ain't never been there to tell, so I gotta ask them that have what's it like.Is there any justification for the idea heaven will be boring?

I can't imagine it being better than this life, unless it is like this life only better.

However, if made-up descriptions might apply, "Heaven" could be like being in church that never ends and being unable to escape.
No one knows about heaven other than what they have been told by others who don't know either. Anyone is free to speculate (and many consider their speculations, called beliefs, to be true and accurate).Wootah wrote: Is there any justification for the idea heaven will be boring?

Post #9Heaven is supposed to be one great long songfest hootenanny of nothing but singing the praises of God. How could an eternity of backside kissing possibly become boring?Wootah wrote: Is there any justification for the idea heaven will be boring?

About as much as any other un-proven hope such as the rest of your future for instance which you plan for and hope for every day without proof you will see any of it, and an unproven hope is the definition of Christian faith.JoeyKnothead wrote: From Post 6:

PCE Theology as I see it...
We had an existence with a free will in Sheol before the creation of the physical universe. Here we chose to be able to become holy or to be eternally evil in YHWH's sight. Then the physical universe was created and all sinners were sent to earth.
This theology debunks the need to base Christianity upon the blasphemy of creating us in Adam's sin.
