Jesus said, "If your leaders say to you, 'Look, the kingdom of heaven is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom of heaven is within you and it is outside you."

I think the idea of heaven has been severely misinterpreted by a lot of people. Personally, I don't think it's about a state of forced eternal bliss up in some cloudy paradise. In my opinion, heaven isn't somewhere you go when you die. It's somewhere you must create for yourself while you're here on earth.
