The idea of heaven is so stupid I wonder how people believe it lol
The Bible doesn't say much about what heaven is supposed to be like. Most of the claims about heaven are exaggerations of the Bible. The Bible says the Gates are made of pearl. What are the gates for? Are they made just as an excuse to irritate clams? Are the gates supposed to keep someone out or to keep souls from escaping?

it also says the streets are paved with gold but the only reason we actually like gold so much and we attach such values to it is because they are rare and difficult to extract. Gold is malleable and can be formed as needed for use in, among others, electronics, dentistry, medical tools, and the defense, aerospace, and automotive industries. Gold is durable and noncorrosive. However gold shouldn't be valuable at all in heaven unless we'd still need to use gold for those things in heaven too which actually makes heaven just another version of earth

The sales pitch for heaven is that there is only happiness and no sorrow. But it also says that many people's loved ones won't be there. Since they can't feel sorrow about that, are they ecstatic that their loved ones are being tortured forever? Either your memories are removed or your human empathy is removed. Is it really you that is left over once some parts of you have been removed?

If life matters to me now, it will always have mattered to me, even when I am gone. Death cannot change that.

Your best hope is to be locked in a gold cage with your memories of having an actual life being erased just so you can kiss ass for eternity.

Life is pleasant, death is serene. The transition might be troublesome but we all have to go through it. You shouldn't fear death so much. Heaven and hell are imaginary. You should reject the indoctrination. Life is much better that way.

To quote a friend: "Heaven's supposed to be this really great place, right? So how come a third of the angels got pissed off??"

Honestly. You reason very soundly!

Elders dey worship God in heaven again?

Are they worshipping the father alone or the father plus son or the trinity together cos Jesus will be at the right side separate from his father!

Where will holy spirit be?

So where is the judiciary? Michael and Gabriel right? Lol.

This happens when you decide to interpret a statement with a myopic and sentimental view without thoroughly thinking of all the meanings.

1. Are the gates supposed to keep someone out or to keep souls from escaping?

Even on earth, when you see castles and mansions, are the gates only meant to keep people out?
A Gate has several symbols

An Entrance
Security
Safety
Beauty
Property value
Decorative
Transitional point between different states or realms
Safe

While your description of Gold is fine, you maybe forgot to mention that Gold is one of the most valuable and most beautiful elements and is often a sign of beauty and glory. John saw a vision and it doesn't mean it's a physical realm like Earth 🌍

Life may be meaningful to you thinking there is no after life. But only indoctrination will make anyone think there isn't an afterlife.
Logically speaking, you have everything to loose if you live life thinking there is no afterlife and you realise after death that there is while you have nothing to loose if you go the other way round.

Life is Pleasant, How much more the after life.

To a Christian, Death should be a Joyful experience. The Bible gives everyone hope.

β€œO death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

My mom and father will be in Heaven. God alone knows who the Elders will be.

I'm more fortunate than MOOhaMAD and his parents who are already in hellfire:


Sahih Muslim (203) narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man said: β€œO Messenger of Allah, where is my father?” He said: β€œIn Hell.” When he turned away he called him back and said: β€œMy father and your father are in Hell.”

Yes, Gates are made to keep people out or in. That's the primary function of it. Any other is secondary.

"Entrance" we need because people can get lost here and not know the way. So people can still get lost in heaven?

"Security" that makes my point for me

"Property value" yeah people are gonna be buying heaven

"Decorative" lol

Isn't it obvious heaven it bullshit? Even you are trying very hard and can't still make sense of it.

The heaven idea is questionable, especially when humans thinks it was made for them.

I keep asking why God didn't just create humans in heaven if he needed them there in the first place? Was the purpose of passing through earth? Why didn't angels passed through earth too?

It makes full sense to me.

As I said before, Heaven isn't a physical realm like Earth, nevertheless still a realm where beings dwell.

Secondly, John saw a vision, in same vision he saw creatures.

With my understanding, Heaven is a different realm, same realm where Demons inhabit primarily, does it make sense conceptually to have a border(gates where Holy and Unholy beings can dwell or access?
