Pretty much I think the universe is heaven, but way better. Basically the law that governs the universe is love. Love is simply the strongest force in the universe. The universe was random at first. The universe came from nothing but after some time it was random. Over time the force of love took over the universe. Love is such a strong force. Love in it's very nature beats evil. Love was able to set the universe to perfection. This is why we have souls. Because we do what our souls desires because of love. It's hard to explain how love is infinitely more powerful than any other force but it is.
Love is how God came to be. Since the universe is infinite and love is infinite. It's pretty obvious a God had to be born. We are infinite beings and we do what our soul craves. God is female from what I've experienced of her.
To sum it up, love is the strongest force in the universe. It makes the universe way beyond heaven.
I believe in the Christian God but that the Bible only tells part of the story. That story was taken from earlier stories and certain aspects of that story were removed. This happened because the author's of the Bible were a part of a strongly patriarchal culture which devalued the stories of the Goddess. When God created the Universe He did so with She. He worked Her presence into the configuration we know of as the Universe. But the Bible's story has been written so as to leave her out. In fact, it even goes so far as to make light of and ridicule Her.
But since the truth is written in our hearts and minds, in our experience and intuition, we can rediscover the missing part of the story. You see, this happened because God and Goddess had a bad fight and they are not speaking with each other. They had the worst kind of fight, the kind that is born of two beings who have made a commitment to each other but have discovered truths about each other that neither can accept.
It is now the job of the created, their children, to bring them back together, to facilitate their recommitment to each other.
A love story, no?
