That's why I find the idea of heaven to be self-contradictory.

One person's idea of heaven might be one where they don't need to worry about others wanting sex with them. Another's might be one where everyone is happy to have sex with them. And another might be most happy in a monogamous relationship where they are with their partner and no one else is even interested in their partner. (Also what about widows and widowers who remarry?)

Or hell, a simpler example: three people, one of which considers the other two their very best friends while the other two only like that one and would rather not spend time with each other.

So unless there's a new version of heaven for each set of desires (maybe even with a version of you that is happy there, to make those who want to be with you in that heaven happy), the whole thing will be great for some but probably miserable for many more (because you can't please everyone), which defeats the entire premise of paradise for everyone.

Not that this disproves anything, for all I know the many versions one might be the case or maybe heaven exists but is only fun for some people (which honestly is consistent with how religion generally works on earth anyways).

Edit: fixed a word, plus added the bit about widows.

there's the story about dog heaven being squirrel hell.

the real hell is wherever people who gotta deal with those logistics go

Oh, so heaven and hell are just amazon.

While I don't believe in it's literal existence, I do not find it to be contradictory. Sure, we like different things, but that's mostly just us being born and raised in different environments. If heaven was true, then we would learn everything we need to find it heavenly.

Also, if one believes in heaven, they likely believe in god. Being omnipotent, I don't think he'd have an issue creating a different realm for you inside the realm of heaven.

We're all just a weird mycelium in some bacon after all. ^gettin^ ^hungry^
