If you could decide what Heaven was like (it need not be limited to religions, you can do anything), what would yours be like?

Mine would be a place with all the knowledge in the universe, which I could learn over the course of eternity. Oh, and good food. And other things...

Aside from reveling in baser carnal delights I'd have to say infinte knowledge sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

Heaven sounds boring though, I'm a drama addict.

Far too easy. It's a holodeck like the one from Star Trek, but there won't be malfunctions, and I can make anything I want, and it's giant, and I have all the time I want to be in it.

Someplace with everything I want. :p Bring on the dancing girls! Or at least the ones who won't make fun of me for not being able to dance.

Asian paradise. Hot women, hot guys, endlessly beautiful to the spirit and body (Yes I'd want it back in form as I WISHED) and endless knowledge and anime and good feelings all around! Fighting when you need it and death if you wish it (to go back to Earth or whatever) and it would be too beautiful for words. :P

+ anime and manga and computers and video-game overload.

Well, sort of.

Hmm...

My "ideal" version of heaven is a bit complicated.

Well...I'd envision a massive city...bathed in perpetual night, with lights lining every corner (imagine Las Vegas combined with Tokyo). Constant partying and revelry for those who like that, and plenty of "softer" spots for those who prefer the quiet. No one would be unhappy.

The city would be infinite...it would quite literally take an eternity to experience everything there is too experience.

It's like a lucid dream, where you can mentally shape the world around you to some extent, but there are random elements added. The people you encounter seem completely real, but are just figments of your imagination so if you end up harming one or more of them it's no big deal. Everyone will shape his or her heaven to fit his own desires, but there will always be random elements and situations added to keep it from getting boring.

Beer volcano and a stripper factory.

Well kinda like what earth is now..except with out all the sin..Meaning, i can go be with God all i want, but if i want to then i can go play some video games or go off into the wilderness..

Cool idea.

A place where you get rewarded according to the effort you make, and not according to who you know or how much you own.

A giant party, with whoever I want there anywhere I want to have it. I'd probably invite Mike Tyson so I could laugh at his funny voice, all my friends of course, all the good bands in the history of eternity playing only good songs, and of course a shit load of hotties.

Like Earth, only I'm king and know everything :p . I'll also ban all mud.

I am a god of my own universe.

Heaven is hell.
As Asimov put it: Heaven is the place of eternal boredom

That's why I posted this thread. It's to make an interesting, customized Heaven.

*GASP!* How dare you! Not the mud!

oh I'd also make it to where there are no Mods..we all know where they go to....detroit...

*nod* Better.

I once had a dream where I was in heaven. It was only like 1,000 square feet big, surrounded by large cloudy walls with small windows, it was one of thoes boring grown up parties (I was like nine) where everyone just talked and sipped punch or something. It was incredibly boring, I think I tried to get out.

aside from women...

and infinite/perfect knowledge...

etc.

I'd want a huge buffet, with literally every food offering on it... a sandwich stand, a burger/fries stand, a Mexican stand, an Italian stand, a Thai stand, a fried chicken/meat loaf/mashed potatoes stand, etc... everything.

And one of those cool bracelets letting security know you've got unlimited access to said buffet.

Are you sure it was punch? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonestown_mass_suicide)

Wow, that's disturbing...

Somewhere between Valhalla and Hellraiser. Continued fighting among everyone there, and the exceptional fighters get "enhanced" by their overseers. An eternity of pure, unfiltered aggression. Just the thing to wind down with for a few eons after having spent 80-some odd years in this beaurocrat-ridden Hell.

Following the basis that "God is love" and heaven is being in the presence of God, I would imagine a place not entirely unlike Earth... Houses, food, entertainment and so forth but where everyone is in a constant state much like the feeling of falling in love. The bliss, the absolute contentment, the wonderful insanity and so forth. Aside from that, there is the obvious stuff; living forever, no sickness or disease, no real suffering, absolute abundance of everything human's desire (yes, including sex - basically indulgence without any selfishness), and the eventually the companionship of everyone you have ever known.

It wouldn't be ethereal but as solid and real as our life here, time would feel irrelevant, and although there would be no real contrast to the endless bliss of life (save for the memory of your life - Hell in comparison) boredom would not be a problem

Valhalla wouldn't be half bad really. "Friendly" combat and glorious battle during the day, revelry, drinking and women at night...ah...

an Ealing-like English Village

Yeah, that's why I had to add the Hellraiser aspect, to bulk up the violence, cut down on the women, and because the transformation sequence in Hellraiser 2 was kick ass.

My ideal Heaven is simply earth without all the bad stuff, just like my idea of hell is earth without all the good stuff. It may sound simple and boring, but it's all i really need.

A bookstore with tea and sunshine. It allows dogs and sex. (Not sex with dogs. That is somebody else's heaven.)

I don't want heaven. Ceasing to exist is enough for me.

Nonexistance. A big plain simple nothing. That's actually something I strive for...

Keep the dogs and the sunshine out, and allow cats in and I might actually join you. If I have to go on existing, that sounds like a nice place to stay. Do they have scones and strawberry preserve?

Keep the cats out as well and I'll join you both.

Aww, but they're kitties! And in Heaven, kitties would be friendly, affectionate, and completely hypoallergenic regardless of breed.

An endless supply of happy, young, voluptuous women, with no agendas or menstrual cycles.
Any food or booze available on demand.
Every one shuts up exactly when I tell them to.

I don't want furry felines rubbing against my leg expecting me to pet them, pissing all over the couch, shedding hair everywhere, or licking their anus and then attempting to lick me.

Most cats aren't that bad. Besides, this is a piece of Heaven we're talking about. Cats would be (even more) perfect in Heaven, so no 'pissing on the couch' or shedding to be had, and rubbing up against your leg is their way of letting you know they like you and want you to like them.

And a cat's mouth is still cleaner than a human's, so I'd be more worried about kissing your gf/bf than a cat kissing you.

I'll join you in the bookstore, if you make the cats normal again with their own personalities, bring back the dogs and a bunch of other animals, replace the tea with cream soda, ensure me that the books are free and super awesome, add a holodeck, surround the bookstore with farmland, woods, and swamps (yes, that's right, swamps), and give me a private spaceship with a small crew and a loyal pet dinosaur. On second thought, put the bookstore on my ship.

And nearly every planet HAS to have a biosphere of some sort. That's non-negotiable.

I don't want a cat rubbing against my leg. It's annoying, I'd hate diverting my attention to show false affection for their appeasement. Oh, and sorry, but anything that licks its anus and nutsack is not something whose saliva I want anywhere on me.

Fine, then the cats can leave you alone. It's HEAVEN, not life. Besides, you probably reek of meanness to feline noses, anyway. :p

Heaven is a comfortable bed.

Are you saying that cats no longer defecate, that they have been castrated before entering this heaven? That bacteria no longer exists? That they piss pinot noir and flatulence releases floral puffs of joy? That they have been shaved and are now beautiful, hairless creatures that can no longer shed? That they no longer seek attention and are content to meander through the bookstore, avoiding me completely?

Fine, then I will tolerate the despicable creatures and join you and Cabra West in the bookstore.

Now-thats freaking funny. ;)

Access to the Library of Heaven and a tea or coffee machine.

Wonder what Twain has written since.... ;)

freedom without regret.

Since every person's Heaven is different, based on every person's perceptions and contributions, the cats would be the above to you. Me, I love cats just the way they are, so that's how they'd be for me. Even in the same corner of Heaven, we'd see and react to two different things. Therefore it's only logical that the cats would leave you alone and/or be non-shedding (No shaving my kitties!), bacteria- and contaminant-free, and not so affectionate toward you. (Don't worry, kitties, I'll give you all the attention this mean old man won't. ♥ )

"What Would Be Your Ideal Heaven?"

Somewhat like Valhalla. Lots of battles that you never lose, lots of slabs of meat and tankards of ale, lots of carousing with your comrades in arms.

I would, however, add lots of love and sex with unlimited capacities to enjoy it. And no politics! :D

Looks more like a crazed chihuahua or an oversized rat to me. I like my kitties with fur. :( They're soft and snuggly and warm.

my sister in law has one of those hideous things- it looks like Montgomery Burns from the Simpsons, naked.
