Yes. But it's not a place where we all go when we die. It's a place we'll go to only if God determines it to be so. And I believe the the way to achieve that is not to go about sinning like there's no tomorrow, asking God to forgive you, and then Oh! all of a sudden you're sin-free (rinse, repeat).

That pretty well sums up my views on it.
I would LOVE there to be a heaven...but realistically/logically, it doesn't make sense nor does it agree with my basic worldview. So, while I don't believe in it or think it's logical or realistic, there's no harm in suspending disbelief and pretending  If it makes me happier, why not? |

Yes I do believe in heaven. Well it's how God will reward people who lived their lives faithfully resisting all the temptations around them for what they believe in.

Yes, I believe in it. I want to know your opinion: does believing in heaven come with believeng in God? I say yes, it does. Because neither can be scientifically proven or have any physical evidence to back it up. So I really think if you believe in one, you have to believe in the other.

yup. It wouldn't make sense to believe in heaven without believing in God b/c heaven is proclaimed to be built by God to reward those lived their living disregarding their material possession attachments, and not giving into temptations hence when they die they go to heaven where they will truly find their real happiness. So yea God and heaven are intertwined |

Well, it depends on your definition of heaven...if you define heaven as something built by god and god controls who gets in, etc, then yes, you can't really believe in heaven and not god (although you could believe in god and not heaven, depending on your set of beliefs).
If your definition of heaven is simply, a "place" we go after we die, then it is possible to believe in heaven without believing in god.

The concept of heaven exists because people don't like the idea of dying and having their existence terminated. People who say they believe are not being objective, because they have a vested interest in belief.
Obv not.
