What is heaven supposed to be like?

This is another sign that as the longest surviving human institution it is also divinely guided.

You invent the divinity, then thank his guidance. I guess
that makes sense. And sorry, padre, prostitution is by
far the longest surviving human institution. Men have
have been paying for sex long before they dreamed
up religion. Women are far smarter where the market
for lost souls is concerned.

You're right Nareed I was a little heavy handed in my response to Bob, I even worried about getting a warning.

Oh, I was not concerned about that. But an argument that leads with "only an idiot believes that..." is bad rhetoric.

As far as tangible proof of the afterlife I would think we all would have heard or personally experienced enough stories about ghosts and such to put the idea of life after death as almost a given.

Now you're just offering another field without any evidence to back it up, as evidence to back up something else for which there is no evidence.

These days a great percentage of the population in the West lives with a still and video camera at hand at all times. If ghosts were real, we'd be inundated with cell phone shots and video of them.
