If existence is infinite there is no difference whatsoever between heaven and hell. The idea of “happiness forever” is a 4 year old child’s conception of something desirable, and shows absolutely no awareness of what it means to exist.
And before someone starts in with the “You’ll be altered so that heaven will be perfect forever”, you’ve destroyed any meaning of it - if you’re going to be made to enjoy it, you could just as easily be made to enjoy hell. The whole concept is stupid.
Heaven is the desperate hope of the tired who don’t need eternal bliss - they need a break and a chance to actually live.

People just don’t understand heaven. It’s not infinite time, it’s eternity - without time
The way I see it, heaven would be a nice home, a place of reunions and rest. But what is the point of being unchanging?
Also, what does it mean to bask in God’s light? How can that equally happen in a place outside of time, but also is possible on Earth?
I think the whole concept has been completely warped from what Jesus actually said
Christianity went to some weird places when Constantine merged it with the Roman religion. The common interpretation makes no sense
