You're wrong.
No matter how pleasant heaven or Yellowstone Park is, spending the rest of 
ETERNITY in either place, or anywhere else for that matter, would be the 
worst form of punishment and torture.
You guys always bang on about looking forward to eternity without actually 
thinking about what that involves.
It's ETERNITY for Christ's sake!
Mind numbing, endless, inescapable eternity- without even having the relief 
of suicide to end it all.
I couldn't think of any worse torture than spending the rest of eternity in 
one single place.
