One interpreting Rev. 5:13 could reasonably conclude that everyone is worshiping God in Heaven, but I suppose, as with any scripture, others can conclude differently. Regardless, that's not an activity in which I would want to participate.
My life in Heaven and Hell is realistically no more a concern for me than my life in the Land of Oz, as I don't have any reason to believe that either of the 3 exists. You might then reasonably ask why I would be commenting on life in Heaven. Primarily its because Heaven and/or Hell are typically used as the carrot and stick to convince me and others to accept Christianity, or other religions, as true. My comments are directed toward explaining some of the reasons I don't accept these claims as true. In this case, I would think that Heaven would provide an experience that corresponds to what I, as an individual, would consider euphoria. I don't see the Biblical descriptions of Heaven as any such place since ambition, accomplishment, and challenges aren't necessary or existent.
So what you are saying is that the Bible was written by lazy people?...
I think everyone will busy doing it themselves, so no one will stop anyone.
Given that in this life more often than not, religion is more concerned with controlling / restricting people's sexual expression more than any other type of expression, it's hard to understand why it would suddenly be of no concern in the afterlife.

Perhaps that's a reward of patience and following guidelines to regulate one's life?
Remember, religion does NOT prohibits sex in this life. It simply regulates it.
Following this regulation then becomes a choice of the human whether he wants to follow or not?

[shrug]Well it's of no consequence to me as I have always followed the regulations like a good serial monogamist. But I haven't done it because I expect some sort of posthumous award for it. I have done it because I see it as a way to live with ethics and integrity, which I value for their own sakes.

Which is good - on the other hand, many who claim to be religious have comitted some of the most horrible sexual offenses on kids and others.
The point is, not all religious people will follow eithics and morals because they are all religious.
And not all Atheists will live like criminals because they don't believe in God or in the final judgment.
We are all on our own. We shall try our best and wait till our destinity is revealed to us.

At least that's open-minded.
