Is heaven divided into different sections? One for Judaism, one for Christians, one for Islamists, one for Italian Catholics, and then a large section for Mormons and others? Does each section then tend to view their God through their own rose-colored glasses so to speak/see God from a different angle?

Nope. I and a few of my co-religionists will reside in Heaven. The rest of you lot will be burning in Hell.

It's really amazing adults can actually believe in a childish fantasy as simplistic and ridiculous as the concept called "heaven".

As long as dogma exists, people will blindly swallow anything they are told.

don't worry, according to scripture all your friends, family and country men who don't happen to follow the same bizzare old book as you will doubtlessly burn :D

Thanks for that, God!! !! !

In my faith heaven is differented by differing degrees of glory. Not by religious denomination but by the measure of the person.

Same applies in - well, in Orthodoxy and Catholicism anyway. Not sure about the Protestant side of Christianity.
