Is the Muslim Heaven More Exciting Than the Christian Heaven?

Posted on 05/13/2011 3:33:37 PM PDT by pinochet

Have you noticed that Muslims show more eagerness to get to their heaven, than Christians. Muslims love to strap bombs to themselves and blow themselves up. The Muslim heaven promises Muslim men 72 virgins. I have often wondered what Muslim women get in the Muslim heaven. Do they get 72 male virgins who are lousy in bed, or do they get 72 sexually experienced men?

Also, what does the Christian heaven have, that can compete with the Muslim heaven? Is the Christian heaven comprised of Church services, in which people sing hymns in a Church service that lasts a trillion years? If people find it hard to stay awake for the one hour church service on Sunday, how will they stay awake in a trillion year church service?

It would be wonderful if Christians became as zealous as Muslims, in the defence of their faith. Theologians need to paint a picture of a Christian heaven that is more fun, than the Muslim heaven.

The Bible does mention mansions in the Christian heaven. Are there any other bibilical descriptions on the pleasures that await Christians in their heaven?

That just proves beyond doubt that Muslims are stupid/S

I’ll bet you anything that nearly all the virgins in Muslim heaven are young men who became suicide bombers...

And I hope Christian heaven has bacon! And Italian sports cars.

I doubt it, since the place does not exist. Islam is a fake religion (nothing more than a cult of death), to a fake god and a false prophet.

Part of the problem is that the Christian worldview allows us to create heaven on earth, whereas the Islamic worldview only allows suffering to be relieved once you get to heaven.

The stuff we have invented is a foretaste, and a very small one, of what life will be like in eternity.

Per Dennis Miller... that after a few virgins, one might be interested in a professional.

I won’t speak for islamderthals but I believe heaven for Christians will be perceived according to what each of us believes to be heavenly.

The Heaven that awaits us is not harps, white robes, and never-ending boredom which is the perception that many people have, because that is what movies, cartoons, and Renaissance paintings have showed us what it is like.

The Heaven John wrote about in the Bible is so full of wonders and mysteries that in our wildest dreams we could not imagine it. Certainly Heaven contains many surprises which we will never be able to comprehend in this life. And it will not be boring.

The only way I, with my puny little mortal human brain can even begin to comprehend it is to ask you to think back to the one single best day of your whole life. Maybe it was your wedding, the birth of your child, your first trip to Disneyland, the anniversary cruise with your spouse, whatever. Now imagine each day in Heaven being that, multiplied 100-fold, and the number of those days will be endless. That is what I firmly believe Heaven will be like. Is it no wonder that John saw All the Heavenly host on their knees worshiping the creator of it all.

I heard it said once that, - “as a Christian, the day I die will be the best day I’ve ever lived. But it won’t be the best I will ever live.”

Stupid question. There is no muslim heaven, but only a very real hell.

Seeing God face to face. All else is secondary, IMO.

My Christian heaven will allow me to have my dogs and cats.
Since Muzzies don’t like dogs on earth,I don’t expect dogs in Muzzie heaven.

Christian Believers’ Heaven

1 ¶ And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Muslims’ Reward

11 ¶ And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

I thought it was really 72 white raisins they get and not virgins.

Blow themselves up to get 72 white raisins? No wonder they're so stupid.

Actually I have heard that the Koran makes no such promise as 72 virgins or even 5.

But the Muslim heaven is really nice if you bring hot dogs and marsh mellows.

If you want an excellent description of the Muslim idea of heaven, I suggest Gibbon's DECLINE AND FALL.
He notes that the Muslim conception of heaven is entirely sensual and replete with the pleasures that after repeated indulgence only lead to satiation and disgust.
As to the heaven - the Christian concept - the prime component is intimacy with the God. Can any pleasure be greater than that?
