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.

Have you seen their Country’s?
Have you seen the oppression and hatred they live with?
Have you seen how they treat each other here?
“I have often wondered what Muslim women get in the Muslim heaven.”
I read on one of those ask an Imam sites that the women don’t get anything for themselves but their husbands, fathers, brothers and sons get a free pass into Muslim paradise if the women blow themselves up.

I've always thought it'd be, amongst other things, the answers to all of the great questions.
Ultimately- I leave what heaven is up to God and don't worry about it. I just trust that it'll be worth it.
Surely you jest.
Exactly. The Islamic heaven is the ultimate con game. Of course it's marketed to be the most exciting, sex-filled, gluttonous dominion ever perceived. It's the sizzle without the steak. What will the Muslim find behind the door after they've blown themselves up?
Islam is a Cult.
They claim Gabriel is the source of the Koran...NOT GOD.
“The name Gabriel means “man of God,” or “God has shown himself mighty.” It appears first in the prophesies of Daniel in the Old Testament. The angel announced to Daniel the prophecy of the seventy weeks. His name also occurs in the apocryphal book of Henoch. He was the angel who appeared to Zachariah to announce the birth of St. John the Baptizer. Finally, he announced to Mary that she would bear a Son Who would be conceived of the Holy Spirit, Son of the Most High, and Saviour of the world. The feast day is September 29th.”
I mean all of this Mohammed stuff came up 500+ years after Christ. They seem to have come up with a connect here and there claiming some sort replacement for Christ himself.
Now let me see if I get this right.
Gabriel announces that John the Baptiser is going to be born. Then he announces: (Luke)
30And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
32He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
So we are to believe that Gabiel turned from Gods son and gave a pedophile, hate filled man the answer to ALL questions.
UH HUH.
Islam is a blaspheme to GOD.
Even the disgusting 72 virgin BS is an insult to God. As if God would hand over virgins to nasty murderers soaked in the blood of Martyrs.
Or are we suppose to believe that the 10 commandments don’t apply to Muslims?
In other words even if they don't get their virgins life is good because they can TAKE anyone (man or woman) they want before Jihad.
Well, for one thing, the Muslim “heaven” will be a LOT warmer!
There will be lots of people whom the “cognoscenti”, the “beautiful people”, the “enlightened ones” might call
“Interesting”,
“Complex”,
“Nuanced”,
“Misunderstood”
“Troubled”.
Folks like Caligula, Nero, the Marquis de Sade, Hitler, Charles Manson, bin Laden, etc.
So eloquent. Thanks.
I have been reading the Quran. The quran is very clear in many things such as the universe revolves around the earth. that the earth is flat the sky is solid and so on but only a very small percent of Islam believes what it says in the quran and they literally make things up. What is important is what the general Islamic population believes today not what was written.
That's pretty much it in a nutshell.
We get to be with Christ - our Saviour. The one who gave His life for us, and took all our sins upon Himself at Calvary, and who gave us His Righteousness. We get to be with the Creator of the Universe. The self-eternal great I AM who spoke everything into existence.
We'll be sinful worms raised up to the pinnacle by the work of Jesus Christ our Lord - forever grateful for what HE did for us.
1 Corinthians 2:9 ...But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
It’s because their life here on earth is so crappy
Yeah! So if someone draws a picture of Jesus, the zealous Christian will strap a bomb on his child and detonate it on a bus filled with school children.
I know your post is intended to be humorous. Normally I think I have a pretty good sense of humor, but I don't quite "get" this.
Dante and C.S. Lewis both offer some great reflections on heaven that are worth reading.
What makes Christian heaven different from most cheap substitutes is that most religions offer *contentment* for good people in the afterlife. Companionship. Food. Drink. Bodily satisfaction.
Christ doesn’t offer contentment. He offers Love...a burning Love like a fire that never consumes, such that all the best and most profoundly moving moments in your life are as straw compared to it. You literally will be bathing night and day in the Love of a Being who created the Universe from nothing—who knew YOU and created YOU and went to the cross for YOU purely for the joy of having you exist.
Incidentally, people in hell will feel the same thing—that all encompassing love. But to them, because they hate that love, it will burn them like a scorching fire that never goes out.
well said!
If dodging stones, machetes aimed at the neck, and the shrapnel from suicide bombers qualifies as exciting...then yes. I would imagine there is never a chance to relax.
Are there any followers of a religion that are in it for the excitement? The premise of the article is rather juvenile, at best.
72 virgins for eternity? Kind of seems ridiculously low.
Christians, on the other hand wait for eternal salvation. A life we can’t imagine, a hope of peace and everlasting joy. Instant gratification isn’t in our plan.
But remember,no sex in heaven,Jesus said no marriage in heaven,we shall be as the angels and niether taken or given in marriage,,,and we all know how they feel about sex outside marriage.So,,,,no sex in heaven.
Amen to your #32!
