Isn't Heaven evil when you really think about it?
Of course it may sound nice, but when you really get to think about it, it really sounds cruel. One fraction of people are living an afterlife of bliss while another fraction of people are going to be living in a constant hell where they will be tortured with demons and the lake of fire. Plus, I don't know if I'd just want to live forever lol. I'd want to just cease to exist at some point. And I also think it would probably get bored in heaven. I can't stand holy music. What's your take on this?

it's definitely full when you think about it. 25 billion humans alone let alone all the animals

You have a point.
Heaven to me would be an open bar with all the best whiskey from the top shelf always free of charge, great food, even better friends, amazing sex and waking up next to the girl of my dreams every morning, and all the greatest bands and musicians from throughout history on stage every single night.
Oh.... and living by the ocean with a good dog who never grows old or dies and at my side.

That depends. Do I want an orgasm to last forever? Praising someone eternally? Do you know how long that is? I always say with a tinge of malice that I am not afraid to burn in hell. Some friends are shocked, but some (as I remind them often) find renewed strength and hope in the knowledge that someone (me) is worse than them and that they have a shot at heaven. See, I can make people happy!

I remember a Jehova's Witness friend of my Grandmother telling me about heaven when I was about 12. I asked her "wouldn't it get boring?"
Back then it sounded pretty awful. Now it sounds silly.

Yes, the idea of heaven has some built-in contradictions. But, as heaven does not exist, really don't care about that. Incidentally, Mark Twain once said, "heaven is said to be a place where people are constantly being good and striving to be even better. If that ain't hell, I don't know what is."

I agree! The thought only came up cause a family relative asked me what did I think of the place. I'm to the point I don't even worry about heaven and hell anymore.
