What the hell is there to do in Heaven, if you believe such stuff?

    Do?  Why, you worship God.  Heaven is not an extension of this life.  It's where God is.  For those who truly know God, that is more than enough reward.

    By loving God as He does us.  Worship = revere, honor, praise.    Singing can be worship.  So can obedience.  

    We want to think that heaven life will be like earth life (because all we know is earth life).  However, this life cannot even be compared to what's to come (heaven).  In heaven there is no pain, no suffering, no pain, and no death.  Our view of life includes all of this.  A place where this stuff doesn't exist cannot be like what we know now.

    “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him."

    Still doesn't answer my question. Can I go golfing in heaven? Have sex? Eat red meat?

    Probably the feelings of togetherness,  satisfaction and gratification without the need for the sweaty stuff.

    When I was a kid I the pastor at my church said heaven would be an eternal church service.  That means I got a glimpse of heaven every Sunday morning just by sitting through his never-ending sermons!  Yay!

    But what if God isn’t an old white man sitting up there in sky? Where would such a place be anyway?

    What if God is a more abstract spiritual concept, such as the natural forces governing nature and the universe? It’s equally if not more plausible.

    God isn't a human (an "old man in the sky").   Nor is He a concept (an abstract idea).  He is a real being who governs everything (nature, the universe, and beyond).  He earnestly desires a relationship with us, even though it was we who broke fellowship with him in the first place.

    More likely “we” (humans) who invented the concept of an all-powerful God to explain how everything came to be.

    It’s simpler and easier for individuals of less intelligence to grasp than the slow, complex processes of evolution.

    Whatever makes you happy!

    Unfortunately, that’s why heaven can’t exist.  The things that some people love doing would make heaven an absolute hell for the people already there who can’t stand it when something they hate makes someone else happy.

    Nothing. Belief in any sentient existence after death is rooted in denial of the finality of death and the reality of the void of eternity.

    Worship God, have feasts, visit with others, and who knows what else. But I believe we will be able to do recreational things.
