Christian accounts of Heaven (well, scriptural ones, at least) are quite sparse compared to those of Islam. Basically, we have "abounding joy in [God's] presence" (Psalms 16:11), things beyond human experience (1 Corinthians 2:9, and worded in a creepily vague way), and... that's about it, as far as concrete details go. Lots of general fawning praise about how wonderful it'll be, but no details.

There IS more information given in the book of Revelation:

"He took me in spirit to a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God. It gleamed with the splendor of God. Its radiance was like that of a precious stone, like jasper, clear as crystal. It had a massive, high wall, with twelve gates where twelve angels were stationed and on which names were inscribed, [the names] of the twelve tribes of the Israelites. There were three gates facing east, three north, three south, and three west. The wall of the city had twelve courses of stones as its foundation, on which were inscribed the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. The one who spoke to me held a gold measuring rod to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. The city was square, its length the same as its width. He measured the city with the rod and found it fifteen hundred miles in length and width and height. He also measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits according to the standard unit of measurement the angel used.
The wall was constructed of jasper, while the city was pure gold, clear as glass. The foundations of the city wall were decorated with every precious stone; the first course of stones was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh hyacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made from a single pearl; and the street of the city was of pure gold, transparent as glass.

I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God almighty and the Lamb. The city had no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gave it light, and its lamp was the Lamb. The nations will walk by its light, and to it the kings of the earth will bring their treasure. During the day its gates will never be shut, and there will be no night there. The treasure and wealth of the nations will be brought there, but nothing unclean will enter it, nor any[one] who does abominable things or tells lies. Only those will enter whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life." (Revelation 21:10-27), but I hesitate to count it, since (and this is something that many, MANY Christians struggle with) the book of Revelation describes things that happened in the PAST, not the future. This is why there are so many references to the "twelve tribes" of Israel, when (since Joseph didn't get one, but each of his sons did), there were thirteen, twelve of which were NOT followers of Judaism, having been cast to the winds and dispersed in the general Babylonian population during that exile.

Frankly, I suspect there's going to be quite a lot of Christians sneaking into the Muslim section of Heaven when God's not looking.

When we die, IF we have earned Eternal Life, our souls are reunited with the Creator. They have no chromosomes. Sorry. And there are no choirs sing praises either. There is a controversy of when we go. Evangelicals believe immediately, Catholics believe there is Purgatory, kind of awaiting room until our ascension.

[Dargil]

For Muslims who barely make it, their 72 virgins all look like Rosie O'Donnell.

[WhitneySnow]

No. Christianity is a very asexual religion. And Islam fetishizes female virgins. (So does Christianity, but Christianity wants to keep them virgins till marriage, not let men deflower them as a reward for virtuous behavior.)

No sex on the other side cuz we don't have physical bodies

[Serkee]

I never understood the whole 72 virgins thing. Are those virgins people? If they are, how are there 72 virgin women (plus all the non-virgin Islamic women) to every Islamic man in heaven? Why do so many more women go to heaven than men in Islam? And if they aren't people, can you even call them virgins? At that point they're just moving sex dolls.

[NamerOfStars]

They're houris, not virgins (although presumably they're virgin houris), who don't appear to have an equivalent in pre-Islamic Arabian folklore (not that I've found, anyway, though I'm hardly an expert). Like many other parts of the world, the Arabs granted personhood to beings that weren't human (like the djinn and ifrit), and from what I've been able to piece together, the relation of houris to Earth women is vague and disputed- primarily to placate said Earth women they were preaching to, I'd imagine.

I bet primitive did not notice 70 times more women deserve heaven.
Inversely if half are women only one in 70 men gets heaven.

[Serkee]

@strateguy632 And that's not even including any married women, so the ratio of men to women is even bigger.

[andreasderjuengere]

If you're fast enough - then yes :D

Anyhow - the most recent supplies turned out to be somewhat overweight or feminist.

That's why I plan to stay alive a little longer. Heaven can wait.

In Islam everyone goes to hell. It says it in the Quran. Have fun getting your virgin butt hole pushed in.

I was raised a Catholic and went to Catholic elementary and high schools, and there was never any mention of virgins in heaven... or hell, for that matter.

[strateguy632]

No, but good point about how they tempt muslims... not sincere just hoping for physical pleasure.

[LiamJHayden]

No, Christianity does not appeal to the prurient interests of debased men like Islam does.

[DrPepper12]

Dude. There is no heaven. You get one shot here. Get back in the saddle and find the lock for your key!

[Staximus]

Sorry pal, your shit out of luck. Better stay alive

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Lord Jesus taught that marriage won't exist in heaven..

[BCRanger10]
