Thiests, supposing I am wrong and God exists and beleivers go to heaven. What will you do all the time?

It occurs to me that eternity must be very boring. We all get bored from time to time and seek further diversion(s). Would you pray all the time or would you set up a series of tasks to complete? How would you spend your eternal boredom?

    Well, that description of the afterlife seems more geared towards followers of Abrahamic religions, with Heaven and all. As a non-Abrahamic theist with a completely different concept of the afterlife, here's what I'd do. It's not eternal, but it should last a great deal of time.

    Picnic with Kennedy, talk with some of my dead family, chat with a couple dead musicians and such, talk to George Carlin and see how he likes the place, check who's here and who's not, and hope that the end of the world doesn't come too soon.

    I first thought that Google Chrome was just a blank space until I discovered a button that opens up a lot of things. If heaven is real, I would look for this button (figuratively speaking).

    You're making an assumption that if God exists, you're wiser that He is, and He's either clueless or uncaring about our emotional health needs.

    What we know of heaven from the scriptures, is that we will never be bored once we are there.

    It's going to be great. It will be beyond our wildest dream.

    Just ask someone who has been there.

    Paul starts out his narrative by saying "I know a man in Christ who was caught up to the third heaven." Out of humility he starts out writing in the third person, but then we learn it was him. He was taken up into the third heaven, and saw things he was not allowed to utter. He saw the secrets of heaven, and how great it is, and he was completely BLOWN AWAY.

    In fact, he was so elated, he was unable to wipe the smile off his face. He was just giddy about heaven.

    Well, when people walk around with a constant GRIN on their faces, they just look stupid. So God allowed a "thorn in the flesh" to bother him, so he would stop grinning. We do not know what this "thorn in the flesh" was, but he prayed three times for God to remove it, and God said NO.

    Just based on the idea that whatever Paul saw in heaven caused him to be so elated, we have to conclude heaven is going to be FANTASTIC.

    = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

    "I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. And I know that this man was caught up into Paradise—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter. On behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses. Though if I wish to boast, I shall not be a fool, for I shall be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me. And to keep me from being too elated by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to harass me, to keep me from being too elated. Three times I besought the Lord about this, that it should leave me; but he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong." (Corinthians 12)

    "Praising God", they'll probably say. Marvellous.
