There is no sex in Heaven because there is no need to procreate
There is no music other than the gospel and country because as you know God hates every other type.
There are no material possesions in Heaven because equality and spirtualism exists among all; possesions only turning man against his brother and influencing greed and whatnot.

All I'm saying is that Heaven is anything but ideal, and the thought of spending an eternity following the bible exactly (it is not subject to interpretation in Heaven) is sickening. I suppose that if the belief in Hell is added then you must strive to reach Heaven.

You know so much about a place that is not known to exist in reality, only in faith/religion.

How?

You're missing the point of heaven. It's not that you wouldn't be able to do all those things and miss out, you'd feel 110% joyous all the time and wouldn't know what's missing. Plus nobody ever said heaven was just following the bible day in/ day out. Maybe the bible's all the mortal rules and once you're in heaven you get all the sweet do what you want cuz you're in heaven rules.

I'm an agnostic, and I wouldn't feel stupid. For one thing I already don't subscribe to belief or non-belief in the existance of Heaven. For another, my belief (or lack thereof) in the existance of Heaven is based upon the same exact scientific evidence as the belief of Christians in the existance of Heaven. Therefore Christians are just making a wild guess that Heaven exists, and if that wild guess turns out to be accurate, what position are they to feel proud of their guess, or am I to feel embarrassed that I didn't base my belief on the same wild guess? The beliefs I have now are based upon the best possible conclusion based upon the best currently available knowledge, so I'm perfectly justified in them even if I die and go to Heaven (highly unlikely even if it does exist) an instant from now.

If I end up in heaven when I die, that will mean
1) either SOMETHING is SERIOUSLY WRONG with the evaluation system
OR
2) you've all been lied to BIG TIME!!
OR
3) They think I'm someone else, and once they figure it out, I'm REALLY in some deep kimchee...
