I recall back when I was actually a Catholic and had similar thoughts about heaven and the possibility of being bored very quickly. I mean, there's only so many things you can do in "paradise". And it's not like they'll port the latest games to fit the format of the place...then make them ethereal...yeah. I mean, too much of a good thing is bad for you. "Life" would get boring fast if there was nothing to do but live life carelessly. Sad to say that though, since that's my goal in life.

Erm... Yes, well, I believe heaven is a place of spiritual peace. Boredom is usually unpleasant, therefor must not exist in heaven. Although, in very SPECIAL cases, someone who is sent to heaven might enjoy boredom(?), so I think there'd be an exception for him/her.

you dont just go to heaven to sit on your ass all day. there is actually a LOT of things to do. people think..."yeah dude we are going to go get fed grapes and fly around all day, and maybe chill with god." no, just like here on earth, there are responsiblities to be taken care of.

I really don't want to sound like an atheist here, but honestly...

Can you prove any bit of what you just said?

Unless she's been to Heaven, I sincerely doubt it.

On the flip side, unless you've been to Heaven, I sincerely doubt you could prove her wrong.

Since sex is the greatest pleasure, but is immoral, can one have sex in heaven? If not, it's not really much to look forward to is it.

Wow kilgamayan you aren't taking a very "critical thinking" approach. Everyone knows that none of us have proof or not. That's obvious. Everyone is bullshitting in this section, so stop shooting them/us down.

So the goal of Critical Thinking is for everyone to agree with everyone?

I think Q needs to have a word with you.

I know, but then it gets boring. Can you have sex with any woman you want in heaven? no? then it fails.

Well, here's an interesting thought I just had...

Ugliness is bad, right? Therefore, there would be no ugliness in heaven. Since the soul does not necessarily reflect the body, everyone's form there would be beautiful (only good souls (or devout Christians, if you like) go to Heaven).

And who says that a wife can't change the "ethereal form" whenever she wants? Or who says there are even forms there? Sex would then probably consist of pure ecstacy for both partners, with no thoughts of mortal beauty (or the lack thereof), because, after all, it's Heaven. Your wife could look like anybody she wants.

Of course, if you want to have sex with another woman just to be with another woman, that's adultery, and I wouldn't know why anybody would want to do that if sex was perfect every time. Especially if sex changed and still remained perfect (i.e. your wife takes on different beautiful forms).

Note that this is just me guessing what it would be like in a "perfect" place, and is not based off any religious stuff.

Wow this a very delicate and interesting topic. It all depends on your religion really, some religions think you are reincarnated some think you got to heaven. I think everyone must stay aware of the different religions around the world before posting just anything. now to the topic. Yes, i think you do go to heaven if you are good and accept jesus as your savior but if you dont accept jesus as your savior you have to answer for your sins at the "pearly gates".
sex is a very touchy topic too because if it is perfet every time would it be fun anymore? would it be the same everytime? or would there actually be sex in heaven, unless your married like pshychic said it would be adultury and adultury is a sin. and there rises another question, what happens if you sin in heaven? do they just warn you ar send you to hell. this is why its such a delicate topic, because you have so many different religions to think about.

Well if you got bored in heaven well then you can come back down to earth and haunt people
j/k
oh yeah and whoever said "there is no proof that such place exists" talking about heaven, there is no need for proof, its based on faith not and sort of logic, math whatever i don't want to start a argument about it but someone can draw circles around you with logic and you beleive in god or whatever. Like i said its based on faith not science, and if someone changes your opinion about god then it wasn't that strong to begin with
anyways back to the topic
if you get bored in heaven its supposed to be a great place, because, i can't answer that cause i haven't read the bible. But my mother tells me alot about it and yes i beleive, you may think i'm just some ignorant simple minded person but i'm not. If i really am then i don't care. EEK! getting off topic again sorry just had to say that.
I'm not sure what heaven is like, if god is as powerful as he is and has as much as power as he does well then i'm pretty sure he can change emotions so that will be NP if you get bored .
alain braiden said:
"By definition, if you became bored of heaven, it would mean you did not appreciate God's gift or some crap, and they would then proceed to send you down to hell for that. Hey, at least it's a change."
i agree with you

As been said many many times in this topic, heaven is supposed to be paradise. Different people have different views of what paradise would be for them. I assume that you'd constantly still be changing opinions and intrests in heaven, because you're still mortal, but you're dead. As you're changing, your view of paradise might change also, and a new paradise appears for you. Constantly changing forever, I assume you cannot get bored. Unless your paradise is boredom.

What if your paradise is to be in hell? What if your hell is to be in constant paradise? Perhaps you did not accept god as your savior, yet feel that hell is the ultimate paradise. I see a paradox forming between the two states of pure pleasure, and pure pain.
