Like, you just climb the right mountain or build a tower high enough and you have reached heaven?
Or was heaven always seen as a place in another dimension or something? And if not, at what point did the idea shift?
Likewise, God. Was he seen as a physical guy. A beard and everything?
Well, the greatest being humans knew were humans, so of course "God modeled us on himself"

Yeah but, was he physically there?
Like, would he be sleeping in a bed in his palace in heaven. Eating breakfast at his table. Sitting on his couch watching humans.
Does God poop?
I hope heaven is like the way it's depicted in American Dad desu

I would argue yes, judging from current perceptions of Hell. It is both a physical place beneath the Earth and an abstract, metaphysical afterlife. Kind of like how Mt. Olympus was both a regular mountain and the mythological seat of the gods' power.
In the Old Testament the word shamayim represented both the sky/atmosphere, and the dwelling place of God.[30] The raqia or firmament - the visible sky - was a solid inverted bowl over the earth, coloured blue from the heavenly ocean above it.[31] Rain, snow, wind and hail were kept in storehouses outside the raqia, which had "windows" to allow them in - the waters for Noah's flood entered when the "windows of heaven" were opened.[32] Heaven extended down to and was coterminous with (i.e. it touched) the farthest edges of the earth (e.g. Deuteronomy 4:32);[33] humans looking up from earth saw the floor of heaven, which was made of clear blue lapis-lazuli (Exodus 24:9-10), as was God's throne (Ezekiel 1:26)
What do you exactly do in heaven? Do you get wishes granted or some shit?
