I recommend Anthony Destefano’s book A Travel Guide to Heaven. Based on your question I think you’d really enjoy it!!

Another note:
This is not, I repeat, a stupid question. It is infinitely less stupid than the question of doing evil, almost Satanic acts of violence and being rewarded in heaven. Maybe that you don’t understand that these terrorists are beheading innocent people, and thinking they will be rewarded with material pleasures. We can only hope that our prayers can remedy this evil.
Please, think about the ramifications of your words. This question was actually brought up by a teacher, a very smart guy, who thought he would challenge us to think about the effects of heaven. There are a couple answers. Some said “Yes, because in heaven, it is perfect bliss, and if we would want a hamburger, we could get it.” Others said, “Well, no. The lion is laying down with the lamb, so why shouldn’t we lay donw with the cow.”

Well, while we’re on the subject, is there any good food in heaven, or will be just eat the Body and Blood of Christ?

Hamburgers, Heaven, Sex and Ice Cream
I have a kind of answer to this but it may offend a few people. I hope not, and it is not meant to…
A colleague of mine was asked to explain the wonders and pleasures of heaven at a wedding reception. He had been the priest for the wedding and having drunk a few glasses of the “water of life” -whiskey, he came up with the following reply…
"We can no more grasp the joys of heaven than a boy of five can grasp the joys of sex. [Enormous gasp from the mother of the bride!] At that stage of development his greatest pleasure is an ice cream. If you offer him the pleasure of sex, he would not understand it and he would say: No thank you, I want an ice cream (or a hamburger.)
"Now we as adults are just like that little boy who saw ice cream as life’s biggest treat… we have progressed on from the ice cream and we have discovered in our lives the great joy of sex, but we are not sure about the joys of heaven. To try and imagine them is just beyond our present stage of human development.
With some of the wedding guests, this went over like a lead ballon. But for the rest of the evening Fr John was plied with more and more free whiskey as people hoped he would find something even more insightful to say !

I’m sorry, but the “correct”
answer is NO.By my logic and the following facts:
- HAMBURGERS are made from COWs.
- COWs are ANIMALS.
- ANIMALS have no SOULS.
- Only SOULS go to HEAVEN.
- NO HAMBURGERS in HEAVEN!

Hi bemmel,
Revelation 22:2
In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life , which bore twelve fruits , each tree yielding its fruit every month.The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."
Now maybe the texture and flavour is up to you and your imagination, but here is the nourishment.
I seem to remember that at one stage stomachs will be done away with, but here in Revelation we have food.
Burgers ( steak, bacon, egg and cheese) , potatoe chips,ice-cream, red wine and steak will be top of my list.Can some one help me with a vegetable ooh maybe corn.
Christ be with you,
walk in lovehttp://forums.catholic-questions.org/images/icons/icon7.gif

well I cannot believe that Bob, Larry, the French Peas, Jr. Asparagus and the singing scallions won’t make it to heaven, so maybe we will all be vegetarians. Heaven IS the wedding banquet of the Lamb and Jesus spent more time partying and eating with his friends (and sometimes with enemies) than almost any other activity except praying. Edwin is right, look at Revelation, those poor souls cast into the pit will be stuck with dry cold fast food leftovers congealed in grease and probably get mad cow disease from all the tainted beef.
If the Wedding Banquet of the Lamb is catered by Clevelanders we will be having pirogi, cabbage rolls, rigatoni & meatballs in tomato sauce, green beans with almonds, scallopped potatoes and baked chicken. Definitely lots of the finest wine flowing freely.

Yes, there will be hamburgers. The cow will walk up to us and ask where we want the cut of beef from.
Seriously, though, why not? If we need the Resturant at the End of the Universe in heaven to be perfectly happy, God will see it done. I’m quite happy with that thought. I’m also happy with the thought that the good father mentioned, that our happiness will be so much beyond what we can even imagine.

Its a good question.
My answer would be no. The reason? Idol worship, We will have no need to idolize anything teresterial. To have a thirst or appitite for something teresterial is Idol worship. But this does not to mean its sinful, it only becomes sinful if we place it above God. Not sure if that makes sense.
Peace

Today in apologetics alone I could read about the infallibility of the Pope, the essential parts of Christianity not found in scripture, an Inquisition question and how Quantium Physics proves the existance of God…
Excellent, very serious topics that merit serious answers. Maybe it’s my mood today though, because I for one would rather be thinking about whether or not we’ll eat hamburgers in heaven??
Thanks bemmell. I needed this!
Peace to you,
CM
P.S. I vote yes, although I think they will be more of a Boca Burger type thing! (Don’t knock 'em till you tried 'em!)
