    Many of those descriptions do not make sense to me. For example, how can you have happiness without sadness? They are not two things that exist independently. They define eachother. This hurts my head trying to imagine cutting concepts like emotions in half.

    In this scenario, pretend that the happiness is as a result of absense of sorrow / sadness. Remember, you just died.... and experienced both feelings when alive. But in this excercise, sadness would be removed in Heaven. However, You'll still have both feelings / emotions in Hell.

    Exactly! If you are eternally happy then everything else in this scenario is irrelevant. You could watch your family get hacked to bits in front of your eyes and you wouldnt be sad because there are no emotions but happiness right?

    mm kinda but he said there would be peace so your second sentence wouldn't be valid. I choose heaven.

    That is true but my point is that if everyone is nothing but happy then peace and all that other stuff he mentioned is irrelevant.

    The notion of Heaven seem kind of boring, as it is described by most christians......

    Often makes me think: "What will there be to do in Heaven?"

    then again..... lol
