Heaven sounds...horrible

People say "don't cry dear, X is in heaven now".

Honestly, I wouldn't wish anyone there. What a cruel destination. Life is unfair. This place manages to be worse somehow. Its like something out of a cosmic horror story. H. P. Lovecraft has nothing on the Bible and its various angelic abominations. Everything there is frightening.

Imagine having an eldritch incomprehensible creator entity looming over you 24/7? Probing your thoughts constantly for any sin, any transgression, any inequity he can find lest you pull a Satan on him? Waiting to destroy you completely in Hell at the slightest impure thought? An alien beast so frightening even his robot angel army cannot bare to look at him, otherwise risk exploding or catching fire from the horrible maddening spectacle that is the very anomaly that created something out of nothing?

And you have no freewill at all. None. The maker hates you doing anything contrary to his nature and what he wants all of the time.

Why do people lie and say the deceased have gone to heaven? Why do people want to go there??

What heaven? They created heaven when people couldn't see on top of clouds.

Why wouldn't you wanna chill in hell with Satan, and the other demons. And all the people with cool personalities.

I agree. I can not imagine any version of heaven that would be good to live in forever. But there is no Heaven. Just a fantasy story. So it does not matter.

I tried it...I really did, but I never managed to believe in fairy tales hence this was never something I really consider. I have my very own imagination about what happens after death and I rather believe in a place where ancestors come together, but its not based on any religious book or god or what not.

The most logical explanation I find is buddhism.

They say heaven is filled with happiness and no pain, right?

its horrible when you're thinking like you are now. you can't help it, you're of the world.
every pleasure on earth is fleeting and ephemeral. you only know what feels good, not what is good.

Horns are good. And hooves. And little spade tails. And fire, fire everywhere

Explain to me how being an immigrant in Heaven is even a good thing? A 2nd class citizen... no... a servant that has to worship something that calls itself good? And that worshipping is a constant neverending one without breaks?

People go to church on Sundays. Imagine how quickly they'll turn on each other or go insane if that service never ended?

Being an immigrant in Heaven. That's just swell. The natives there would always throw in your face "we were created in Heaven for Heaven, you are only here for our Lord's amusement and pleasure".

That sucks. You have become the tiniest most miserable fish in a vast endless ocean. Everything is bigger and scarier than you.

So long as you don't think about all the family members and friends the resident-evil-god just annihilated in Hell.

Good because I had no plans on going there anyway.

Well well well, maybe I'll have to find out if that's true. Send a telegram from hell, will you?

You better be good at singing.

I said I wouldn't wish it upon you. I didn't say I would stop you making a huge mistake.

You think not getting into Heaven is horrible? We both know for you, your eternal fear is getting kicked out of it.

Tom Sawyer put it well in the book "Why would I want to go to heaven and sit on a cloud all day, playing a harp."

Figured it would mean nothing, since you don't believe anyways, right? From what I know, it's not said to be a very pleasant place.
