%X There has been quite a bit of literature on heaven of late. In this paper
I state some claims that theistic philosophers and theologians have made about
heaven, and make the concept of heaven incoherent. I maintain that it is
possible for a rational individual to prefer not to go to heaven. Finally, I
argue that it may be preferable for a person of moral integrity to decide that they
want to go to hell given the immoral nature of many passages in the Bible.
