I've been thinking about heaven recently. I'd love to really, truly believe that something happens to us after we die, but my brain can't wrap itself around the concept of a 'heaven'. What would heaven be? If hardcore religious people go there, what would they do? They would no longer have to worship and live righteously, so what would heaven be for them? Would they do all the things they didn't do on earth? Would they be upset if secular folk ended up in heaven with them? Would they freak out once they discovered that Darwin was correct about evolution? Would they freak out even more once they met a gay soul?

If my current wife were to pass away, and I remarried...which wife would I spend eternity with in heaven?

Would there be rules? Would it be crowded? Would devotees of all religions end up there?

What would motivate us in heaven? We go through life motivated by one thing or another, without motivation why we would do anything? If heaven is the goal, what is next?

It's all so confusing, and seems so unlikely.
