most christians seem to have a very superficial and unbiblical view of heaven thats much more mundane than the real thing

@sun@shitposter.world @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz if the angelic hosts are hanging around and are are equivalent to the brain melting versions as opposed to adult cupids- would be a little different experience.

@georgia can you even know what heaven is like in the first place? What do you think of Swedenborg's description of heaven?

@mischievoustomato @georgia I'm not criticizing I just was curious, I've heard a lot of variations from christians on what heaven is like

@georgia It's okay, though, nobody is saved by their knowledge of heaven and we'll all laugh at what we got wrong when we get there.

@georgia yeah its true. there are plenty of christians that think though that heaven is just you get to stare at God for eternity because that is the best thing you could comprehend

@sun@shitposter.world @georgia@netzsphaere.xyz Aside from that, i'd expect translation of the experience to be extremely lossy. If you experienced it via a vision, divine transmission, or even a near death experience- translating it into words, art, music, etc is only going to get sent back out through the individuals filters.

@georgia ah yes I see! That roughly tracks with what I thought might be your conception although not being of the stripe I wouldn't have been able to say it in such detail. I also appreciate the disambiguation. Do you have a formulation of the Christian heaven which you would consider biblical or are you mostly just pointing out the lack of biblical grounding in most peoples' conceptions? (either is fine. Again no particular comment I'm just curious)

@georgia wow that's a lot closer to the way I've heard the church describe it than I was expecting! Nice 
I know you don't necessarily agree with it, but I appreciate that you have such a sharp definition of it
