Depends on what flavor of Christianity you adhere to. I follow the Catholic mystical tradition which doesn't really focus on pie in the sky, but rather on the purpose of being, which is to become one with the divine-- a purpose which doesn't have to wait for the afterlife.

It's obvious to anyone that you can create hell on earth without much effort; I like to think we can create heaven as well.
