Reply #35: there is no proof of heaven

[maxsolomon]

if the true nature of the divine is a mystery, how can heaven be known during life? it is by definition, speculation based on faith. even the reports of the experience of dying (lights, doors, floating) could merely be interpretations through the lens of faith. it is ultimately unknowable.

for islam to say that there will be virgins to deflower, & servants for everyone is, frankly, retarded. there is slavery in heaven? where did the slaves come from? were they people who screwed up & were sentenced by Allah to sex slave or servant status in heaven?or are they like heaven's robots?

it is a fairy tale we have told ourselves to give meaning to unpleasant lives & otherwise meaningless deaths. if you take jesus at his word, then heaven is this existence on this planet, and we cannot see it.
