What is heaven like?

I can no more say what heaven is like than I can ascertain if heaven truly exists. I have imagined it several different ways. However, if there is a 'heaven' I'm sure it's nothing any human could ever imagine.

A huge Scottish castle with all the books ever written, ever not written, ever dreamed, ever imagined. A place where all my loved ones are and all the food you could ever possibly want to eat. A place where all your dreams come true, and you suddenly know all the answers to all the questions  you've ever asked or not asked. Oh, and time travel. I think people are allowed to create their own heaven. That one's  mine.

If Bill Hicks and Manny Carcano are there, then it is like coming home at last.

I think it's the way the world might've ended up if there wasn't temptation in the garden of eden. Clean with nothing bad or going wrong, just the way God intended the world to be.

I don't think of heaven in physical terms. I do believe that there is a survival of the spirit, of the essence of what identifies an individual.  In my more optimistic moments I like to think that those people who loved each other in this life are reunited.

Heaven is a place where I will be reunited with all the animals who have passed on. In Heaven, there is no killing, guns, poverty, or greed. All good people, and animals, whow were sick, wounded, or in pain in life are restored to their youthful vigor. In Heaven, I can hang out with the greatest minds ever like Plato, Aristotle, Shakespeare, Homer, and Janis Joplin.

It's like my current life, only someone steps outta nowhere, teaches me how to never be stressed or angry again, and then leaves.

IT IS LIKE NO OTHER PLACE ONE CAN IMAGINE. IT IS OUR GIFT FROM GOD AFTER DEATH FOR HOW WE LIVE OUR LIFE AND DO FOR OTHERS.  GOD GAVE HIS ONLY SON THAT WE HAVE HEAVEN TO LOOK FORWARD AFTER OUR LIFE ON  EARTH NO MATTER WHAT IT MAY HAVE BEEN. WE MUST DEDICATED OUR LIFE TO GOD TO INHERIT THIS GIFT. I OFTEN WANT TO GO THERE BUT GOD WILL MAKE THE DECISION WHEN I WILL GO. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING MANY FRIENDS AND FAMILY. WHAT A GREAT REUNION IT WILL BE FOREVER.

Heaven is like complete acceptance and love from yourself. . .for whatever you really are. . .

I imagine heaven will be a lot like earth, only with fewer jerks.

I'd like to imagine heaven, if it's really out there somewhere, as a place completely devoid of any negativity...including pain, fear and taxes.

Heaven is hypothetical.

Jill, 59

I don't really believe in a heaven, but if there is one, I envision it being like a beautiful dream that is kind of loopy, not very clear, and floaty with bright colors.

Heaven is where there are no responsibilities or stresses and where you can have anything you've ever wanted.

Mandy, 24

Heaven is lying in the dark beside the person you love, listening to his or her breath, and knowing that for now everything is just the way it should be.

Karen, 20

I believe that heaven is sort of a rest stop for your spirit/school rolled into one. In heaven you are reunited with your loved ones who passed before you, and it is a place of great joy and celebration. But it is also a place where you confront the mistakes you made in your life, learn from them, and prepare your soul for its next journey to earth.

heaven is a place with a lot of mashed potatoes and sexy men. Oh, and EVERYONE looks like a super model.Every single one of us are beautiful and adored.

from a religious aspect-millions of saved souls praising God for eternity.  My personal idea of what heaven is? A peaceful, pure enviroment where all the things that made your life hell have disappeared and you are never depressed.

Angela, 16

Presumably it's a place of absolute contentment and bliss, but I doubt it actually exists. It's a nice idea though.

Shanna, 15

You're asking ME?!? :)

I imagine it being sort of like a family reunion or something.

Jeremy, 13

I haven't been there yet, but I imagine it to be warm, sunny, with a beautiful beach, lots of tropical plants and wild life and all my favorite people. I think everyone creates their own heaven, based on what is important to them personally. I wouldn't want to be plummeted into a predetermined place created by some random deity that I do not necessarily subscribe to.

That's something I like to keep private in my mind, heart and soul, but heaven is out there!

It's like a giant nazi boot camp, only there's lots of clouds and everyone is dressed in white.

I'd like to think it's a warm place, a place where I can see all the loved ones and friends I've lost throughout the years. I like to think of it as a place where everyone is happy all the time, where there are no worries or concerns: where incredible beauty surrounds you wherever you go.

I don't belive in heaven or hell.
