Paradise- it’s the ultimate goal of anyone who believes it exists. It’s a perfect place filled with perfect things and void of anything you could dislike. The sights, tastes, sounds, smells and textures are so vivid that you can’t imagine them until you’ve experienced them.
If you qualify to enter, you’ll be shown your plot of land in Heaven. The smallest plot will be beyond our current understanding of size. It will be filled with palaces made of golden bricks, whose mortar is made of the finest jewels and the sweetest smelling musk, and greenery beyond your wildest dreams, with rivers flowing beneath the ever-fertile land. Anything you wish to see will be granted to you; be it beautiful maidens created solely to serve your every desire or someone you wish you could meet. The sights you’ll first see will mesmerize you for centuries upon centuries before it even occurs to you to get closer.
You will be given a drink of water whose taste is better than anything you’ve ever tasted, after which you will never be thirsty again. If you would still like to enjoy Heaven’s fantastic choices of tastes, you can sip from its many rivers- a river of milk that will never go sour, a river of pure honey or a river of the finest wine that is a pleasure to those who drink it and has no ill side effects. There will be fruit that looks similar to the fruit we know, but has an incredible variety of tantalizing new flavors. There will also be exotic meats cooked precisely to our favorite tastes. Anything you ingest will be excreted as sweat with the smell of the best perfumes.
Everything will have its own distinct and marvelous smell. Your body odor, your clothes, your mansions, your partners, the air you breathe, the food you eat- everything will smell exactly the way you want it to.
You’ll hear nothing that displeases you. There will be no lying, slander or quarrel. Anyone you meet will wish you the best and there will be no enmity or envy. You can listen to your favorite music and singing and there will be no dull moments for all of eternity.
Finally, everything you touch will be like nothing you’ve touched before. Your clothes will be made of the softest, smoothest silks. You will recline on the fluffiest pillows and you will be given a raised throne to sit on while you are attended to by your servants.
These are the reasons we want it so strongly. This is what motivates any God-fearing person to be upstanding and just. This is Paradise.
 
what about the sneaky lil bastards who prefer a lil bit of trickery mixed into their drink? sounds like all this perfect niceness would kill em pretty quick. faster than a thade to the face
 
I agree with what Vartenaal says.

Also that description seems very male-centric, if not chauvinist.
 
"partners" that doesn't sound like anything I'd want to get involved in.. One woman is enough for me. and I don't even have a girlfriend atm..

don't even get me started on the faults of the one-night-stand 'system'..

the thought of Paradise works on paper but it's human nature to get bored of the same thing all the time, without something negative to compare it to we would cease to see this place as paradise.

Anyways, what is the point of this thread?
 
Paradise is all a state of mind, you can have it right here right now if you but choose to.
 
It actually did remind me of the (probably fictional) tales of Hassan the Illuminator, and the order of assassins. Basically initiates would be drugged (with high quality hash, good going hassan!), and brought to an area where they would be surrounded with a paradise type environment, fruit trees, roses, streams, carpets and pillows and such all around, and the best part, beautiful "houris" with lots of alcohol. Long story short, they'd spend a bit of time, high as fuck, doing *ahem* various things, then be dosed again, wake up in the grandmaster of the orders presence, and then asked a few questions, and assured that such delights awaited the obedient in the afterlife.

There was a short story I read at some point, inspired by the whole legend, claiming that those who pledged fealty towards the grandmaster and obedience were inducted into the order of assassins, and those who figured out what had actually happened instead became illuminati (which is of course impossible, bavarian Illuminati being what it was, but obviously one takes license with whatever one wishes when writing a fictional story).
 
I think this is my first post...
To OP
im assuming you are a christian. I don't want to get in a debate but, if you are a follower of Christ you might want to reread the scriptures. I am assuming you believe the rapture and you meet Jesus(not his original name) in the air then float around there forever? His kingdom comes to earth where does it say that anyone gets to go to heaven? Maybe im missing something. If I am im srry . heaven is a paradise we don't go to. The Only Paradise we see is the Kingdom that will be here on earth or "the new earth". Anyway don't take other peoples word when it comes to the scriptures if you are a Christ follower read it for yourself. Maybe you are a catholic? If so my bad. All I got to say to Catholics is read the scriptures... you are in there.
m'kay
well.. Good day to you...

To others
If you have been told the word and refused to hear or deny it, I have no beef with you. I don't force my faith on anyone. Why would I want someone in the Kingdom that talks down on it? OHh burn... no really. Since this is on SoD forum ill drop it at that.

Meso is a muslim.

The rest of your presumptions are also hilarious. From the ridiculous belief in a rapture (developed sometime around the very late 1600's- very early 1700s, by the same folks prominent in the witch burning hysteria at the time, with very loose scriptural support, most of it from Thessalonians). One can only assume through your extremely erroneous portrayal of what the bible actually says as evidence you either have not read it, been extremely selective in your readings, or are reading one of the abortions of literature known as the "living" translations. Which are pretty much what the bible turns into if you play mad libs with it to support whichever points you want to at the time.

I don't even know where to start in on the rest. Your tactics are similar in nature to other evangelical christians, and completely transparent. The condescending read the bible, all I said is in there nonsense, with the tone that you have, without citing any specifics whatsoever, and the knock against catholicism, an easy and simple way to sway catholics to one's side. It's extremely formulaic, and anyone involved in any sort of religious debate ever, has seen it before. It's also an incredibly poor argument.
