How do different religions describe heaven?
 
- What is heaven?
- What happens in heaven?
- Is it eternal?
 
Most religions in the world have a concept of "paradise/heaven", it would be interesting to discover their outlook regarding the matter.
      What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.

I describe heaven as a place where all good resides without a presence of evil. The opposite is hell (of course Tongue). What happens in heaven is up to you as you can do whatever you wish (most be according to good). And I do believe heaven is eternal as with hell.

Well in Heaven, if it were truly heaven, there would be beer, liquor, women, feasting, boasting, singing, fighting...

In heaven you sit around listening to harps and choir music all day, or so I've been told.

If you look at and compare to other places in the universe,  this planet must be be heaven. We just haven't realized it yet.
 
All we need is to start acting accordingly, listen to soft music and stop fighting. What a bliss!

It's a kind of hot a firey place, with lots of reddish guys poking people with forks. But at least it ain't got any bloody Mormans in it.

uh.....no Paul that's hell....but the lack of Mormon's would make it seem like heaven. LOL

As to what Mormons can expect in the afterlife here is a video:

Wow, that is one weird video. According to the cartoon, if I become a god in the afterlife, I can have "endless celestial sex with my many wives". Maybe Mormonism isn't so bad after all...

Heaven is where people can eat good food, have sex with beautiful women and be happy. How could one do these things without material existence, like organs, hormones or enzymes, is beyond me.

Pauls behaviour is not in violation of the CoC. Parnell you have a chip on your shoulder regarding Paul and I suggest you get over it.

Isn't that the muslim version of heaven minus the fighting, and boasting maybe?

Understanding Paulisms takes some time. He means no offence. Comical analogies perhaps. That is one difference we take into consideration when evaluating violations.
 
However, you Parnell seem to have a problem with him. The proper channels are by PM.
