I read once that John and Yoko actually had two apartments at the Dakota...one to live in, and one to hold all their stuff. And according to Paul McCartney, when he and John would sit down to write a song, John would say, “Let’s write a swimming pool,” or whatever he wanted to buy at the time. Nothing wrong with this, of course, but then he shouldn’t have gone around telling other people they shouldn’t want possessions.

And I never could figure out why “no heaven” is better than “heaven.” Did John not want hope of seeing his loved ones again after death?

I think that Heaven scares people more than "annihilation".

Heaven, by its very existence, implies that there is a judgment. Judgment means that man will give an account of his sins. Since most men love their sins, this causes great consternation.

Heaven also necessitates Hell, for those who do not want to go to heaven.

No Heaven-no God. No God=I can do anything I want.
