I know one thing sprint, the christians win the best heaven award.
In Islam heaven you can't even get a beer, that sounds more like the other place to me.

On a serious note, I believe that most religions do not really understand the true concept of heaven and hell.
They externalise these concepts as something outside of their lives, to be aspired to, or worked toward in another life.
This attitude causes them to diminish their ability to truly find heaven, as a state of fulfillment, and contentment, in this life, which I believe is what the great philosophers were alluding to.
The world is, and always has been, filled with more beauty and joy than any man can experience, and also full of more horror and despair than any man can cope with.
A well balanced person will try and ground their perspective, in the knowledge of these two factors in their existence, and try not to focus entirely on one or the other.
We are daily presented with a cavalcade of woes in our media, which tends to lead many to allow the negatives in life to consume them.
A hug from someone you love, a smile from a stranger, a kind word, an act of charity, a piece of art, a beautiful sunrise, all things like these, allow us to experience the positives of life.
Personally, my idea of heaven is fostering a state of mind where I am truly receptive to these positives, and am able to appreciate them as the greatest gifts this world can bestow on us.
