The way Heaven is described in the Bible is streets of gold and rivers of crystals and jewels. Would the average person who is used to trees and flowers and home want that kind of setting?

You really have an issue when you try to find the 'average person'. Who knows what another or most will like. Your question is really a deeper one.

To restate it I would ask, "If one finds their given environment 'heavenly' (enjoyable beyond compare) would they be as happy in an environment they can't imagine enjoying even though a book tells them they should enjoy it?" For example, say I find the beach the place I'm most at peace in. The bible (revelation) suggests I would be much happier in a place where the streets are made of solid metal.

True, it is a soft metal but compared with the beach it is much less giving underfoot. I, personally, would not like to live in city with gold streets. It just seems too crass.

Also, aren't we supposed to be able to fly? What if I want to drive a car? Can I have a Ferrari or is driving not allowed because the engine noise bothers other guests?

I'd say the answer to your question is "No, you would not like such a setting." The only way you could ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
