"...then what's the best way to think of heaven?"
Elysium, n. An imaginary delightful country which the ancients foolishly believed to be inhabited by the spirits of the good. This ridiculous and mischievous fable was swept from the face of the earth by the early Christians - may their souls be happy in Heaven!
Ambrose Bierce

I love Ambrose Bierce; he's one of the most underappreciated American writers of the last 150 years.
