For me, heaven exists as a state of mind, not a place.

This definitely wasn't taken from the Bible, that's all I can say. Of course, you're not a Christian anyway, so I doubt that means much, lol.If a heaven actually exists what you is your idea of what it would be like?

Heaven
St Peter was showing a bunch of new recruits the delights of heaven. There were things to suit all tastes, even a gay bar. Most popular were the wine tasting sessions, which Jesus had set up, he was particularly proud of his Chateau Heaven vintage, being of course an expert in viticulture.
A carriage, pulled by eight white horses, stopped beside the group, and out got the most beautiful woman they had ever seen. St Peter bowed low and introduced her, "This is God"! The recruits gasped, "Don't worry, you will soon get used to the idea", she grinned!
At the end of the tour the recruits were shown a tin shack from which emanated the sound of hoarse discordant singing. St Peter explained, " That is reserved for 'born again' Christians who think they are the only inhabitants of heaven, we don't like to disappoint them so they can sing God's praises for all eternity. One puzzled new arrival queried how they reacted to God being a woman. "Ah" said St Peter, "Now that is our very cunning plan. Not everyone can enter into the delights of heaven immediately if they have been very bad whilst on earth. They must serve a term playing God for the 'born agains’, the length of which depends on the wickedness of their crimes. As the actor is always hidden in a blaze of light, they are none the wiser when a change over takes place. However heinous the crime, the perpetrator is deemed to have served their sentence after a few Millennia of listening to that lot 'singing God's praises!"

For me winning the good pleasure of God is the greatest of all heavens.
Speaking of personal experiences, Heaven has always existed, therefore isn't fallacy.
It would be like being thought well of by Hitler, if the Biblical god character exists in reality.
We don't know god exists, nor did its so called reps!Our only knowledge of God comes from His Representatives like Christ and Buddha so pleasing Them is really pleasing God and we achieve that by trying to follow their teachings of love, forgiveness and compassion for all beings. The very antithesis of what Hitler stood for,
We don't know god exists, nor did its so called reps!
Fair enough! Of course a god could exist, I fervently hope it doesn't.That’s a matter of opinion and I respect your view on that. It’s something we each can only decide for ourselves. I’m convinced beyond any doubt that there is a God but others may feel the opposite.
