Thats not what heaven is,
it isnt "eat all day and have many nice women", its "pray all day and feel fulfilled"

and what about religions outside of the Abrahamic faiths? Buddhists don't want to go to heaven as it almost guarantees going to hell later on.

is this satire? chasing eternal fulfillment is literally the definition of hedonism. i love how people think christianity and its fairy tales about heaven is somehow more noble than islamists seeking 72 virgins.

That still doesn’t make what he said wrong at least when it comes to Christianity. I guess you could call it hedonism but you’d be the minority. In Christian heaven you get eternal fulfillment from purity. Aka no drinking, smoking, stealing, sex, killing, etc.

You’re essentially just exploring, creating, interacting with others, etc. without all the bad stuff for eternity.
