infinite happiness?

do you think that's what heaven is?

yes, please tell me why I'm wrong..

well I don't actually think that it is, but popular arguments for theism rely heavily on heaven meaning infinite happiness..such as pascal's wager

I don't know that you're wrong, per se, but I believe there will be work in heaven. I just can't picture work and infinite happiness together. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

In case you're wondering why I think there will be work in heaven, God assigned Adam a job in the garden of Eden even before the fall of man, back when the world was perfect. Work, then, is not a result of sin but something God designed.

Of course, if you don't accept Jesus, you won't get to find out. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
