There is no heaven, no magical 2nd life, because it's fucking impossible. The fantasy requires throwing out all of reality but reality is not going anywhere. Heaven is absolutely fucking impossible. Period.
And thank goodness the heaven fantasy is bullshit. I would not want to live in a universe where magical bullshit was real.
RationalWiki has something about it. For example this: "the odds of this being true are infinitesimally small."
"Infinitesimally small" is wrong. The odds are exactly zero.
Here is some of the stuff from RationalWiki. You can click the link if you want to read the whole thing.
There is something there about Muslim scum who blow themselves up. This means heaven is much worse than a ridiculous fantasy for cowardly gullible morons. It's a fucking weapon that, for example, caused the death of 3,000 Americans in one day on September 11, 2001.
RationalWiki - Heaven
Heaven is a fictional realm where the magical essence of a human (known as a soul) somehow survives death and is fantastically transported to this zone of paradise to spend forever and ever and ever times eternity. Most commonly known by believers of the book (Jewish people, Christians, and Muslims) as the place up in the clouds (no one has seen it from a plane or a rocket-ship) heaven is where you go to meet the bearded man in the sky (God) and in most versions praise him forever. Some believers of the book see heaven as allegorical for something but it is almost universally depicted as a real ghostly happy afterlife. Heaven is referred to quite differently by other religions, sometimes conceptually such as: a place/emotion/plane of existence/state of mind/spiritual realm. Unfortunately the soul and all forms of the afterlife are human constructions used as emotional crutches to deal with death and/or to help spread religions as rewards for believing. So as lovely as being reunited with your family members and old pets in heaven sounds the odds of this being true are infinitesimally small. You aren't going to heaven when you die.
Within the believers of the book some conjecture heaven is a dimension of new possibilities where you can realize whatever you want (without any scriptural basis), to watching sinners burn in hell, to grovelling to God all day, to a spiritual experience beyond comprehension.
Heaven is viewed as grotesque by some New Atheists who challenge the idea of still being happy in heaven after the first octillion years or how a God could be so insecure he literally needs millions of souls praising him for eternity. The logical inconsistencies are also pronounced: how could a Christian enjoy bliss in heaven knowing some of their loved ones are burning for eternity in hell? Heaven is used obsessively as blackmail to convert people to Christianity and Islam. And finally per those two religions, the idea that people are destined to either heaven or hell seems to lack any sense of moral justice or any proportionality of reward or punishment for what is a very short life on Earth navigating morally ambiguous problems without any evidence that heaven or even God exists.
