I was raised Catholic. Once I die, I'll go to heaven for eternity, but the bible says that we will not marry, have sex, or produce offspring. That's it from there. I would not even be able to have a discussion with God about it once I get there. There will be no beautiful women or handsome men, we will be all the same and there will be no gender or material beauty. Every single top-level religious authorities that I have read reject my hopeful ideas of Heaven.
But I am a lonely virgin, not even have a lot of friends, and I think time is running out here on Earth, a major catastrophe, or I will soon be annihilated by a nuke or raptures away to Heaven without advance warning. I really wanted the chance to find true love with a very beautiful woman who is pretty much my imaginary dream girl. But I'm sad it won't happen because Jesus was supposed to say there will be no flesh desire in the new kingdom. I'm so dejected and depressed about the concept of what Heaven is. It also appears that we will even be wearing clothes 24/7. No erotic intimacy, even with a Godly partner, happens at all.
I am afraid of going to Heaven and not being able to reclaim a sexual and romantic relationship with the partner of my dreams. I need to feel better. That, and the fear of being annihilated or having my life taken away on Earth so young because of nuclear war or World War 3, or another apocalypse.
Please help, what should I do? I feel like I can't escape the pain and emotional turmoil. Am I the lone Christian/Catholic who feels this devastated?
I was raised Catholic but no longer am, however if we are to assume that heaven is real does it have to be tangible? The spirit is intangible so who is to say that there is no physical beauty as there will be much more than that? Let's assume that as spirit you are energy or more than energy, that you are connected to every thing past present and future, that you are thus everywhere but nowhere.
Maybe then it's not so bad.
