Ok,
What are the The Ten Worlds?
One way that Buddhism explains life is through a concept known as "the ten worlds." These are ten states or conditions of life that we experience within ourselves and are then manifested throughout all aspects of our lives. Each of us possesses the potential for all ten, and we shift from one to another at any moment, according to our interaction with the environment. That is, at each moment, one of the ten worlds is being manifested and the other nine are dormant. From lowest to highest, they are:
Heaven (or Rapture) -- This is a state of intense joy stemming, for example, from the fulfillment of some desire, a sense of physical well-being, or inner contentment. Though intense, the joy experienced in this state is short-lived and also vulnerable to external influences.

Oh yes, because Buddhists are so evil...Buddhism is evil, and Buddhists have done so much damage.
Christians are always the moral superior. christians have done no wrong throughout history...while Buddhists are responsible for such horrors such as the Spanish Inquistion, the Salem Witch Trials, Crusades, slavery, near extermination of the Native Americans, etc.
tell me sumthing JIA, would you rather be a robot without conciounce or fealing in the biblical heaven or would you rather be a mortal man in this world, in a heaven of your mind? cause from the looks of it, you dont really value what is supposedly IN this heaven of yours or what it stands for {other than GOD'S GREATNESS, JESUS'S LOVE etc etc}. i mean none of the EFFECTS associated with heaven mean anything to you. your only goal seems to be, TO GET INTO HEAVEN AND NOT HELL, without really caring for what is IN heaven or having any genuine motivation to contemplate or pursue that{your only answer, heaven is perfect, has everything, you cant imagine etc etc}. thas probably why a heaven of the mind or in this world as even shaky stated, has no meaning for you. your running the race merely cause ur obsessed with winning without having any idea or genuine desire for the prize.

I would just like to thank you for your great posts, as I've always been fascinated by Buddhism (I'm attending teacher's college and one of my main subjects is something we call KRL here in Norway (Christianity, religion and philsophy).
Regards, Yvonne
