ETERNAL LIFE?

  For some, there is Heaven.  Of course, Heaven means different things to people, as, for example, to Fred Astaire singing   Cheek to Cheek   in Top Hat, it's dancing with Ginger Rogers.  This version finished #15 on AFR's 100 Years of 100 Songs, and   Rotten Tomatoes  reviewers gave the movie a 100% rating.   Then there was that  promise of 72 virgins in heaven  for Muslim martyrs, but you had to be a male to take advantage of this reward.  Then again, maybe not.  However, more recently, it was determined that there was a mistranslation of the  Quran , and the truth was that it was raisins, not virgins.  Some have even pinpointed white raisins. To most, though, Heaven is an ultimate place where you live in harmony and comfort forever.  Yes, an  eternal afterlife .  Yet, maybe this is only for Christians and Muslims.  Although Buddhists can attain Nirvana and Hindus can become one with the Brahman, which sounds like a kind of heaven.  Don't have time for all  4,000 religion
