Heaven: What do you think?

The topic of heaven is one of the most controversial in any type of religious discussion. Where is heaven? What does it look like? Will we see our loved ones there? Who gets to go to heaven? Will we turn into angels once we're there?

These questions and others have caused great debate among scholars and lay people alike. The Bible says a lot about the afterlife and heaven, but some of what the Bible says seems contradictory and people interpret it differently.

What do you think? What is your view of heaven? What has influenced your perceptions of heaven and the afterlife?
