Your plans for occupying yourself in heaven are quite ordinary. Don't you
know that God has got the latest PlayStation with all the best-selling
ROMs? That beats the hell out of sitting on the sofa talking to people. I
personally think it would get boring after a while. Then you would ask God
to go down to hell, you know? For the sake of change. Eventually, you wake
up in bed and realise you are better off never going to heaven, or hell or
whatever else humanity has made up throughout history.
So, 'God' is in fact doing us a favour. He lets us be gone when our day has
come. He also makes himself inexistent so that we never need worry about
heaven, hell and all that malarkey.
I'd repeat your last sentence:
"I think I can only pray that there is no God or Heaven..."
Then I'd add:
Those who wish for heaven are those who have never lived.
