A: And if there is free will in heaven, then why doesn't war and suffering ensue there? Is heaven really a wonderful place? Or what if there is no free will in heaven? Isn't this notion of free will that differentials us from all other species of life?

The biblical Christian view of heaven sounds more like Hell to me.... or a fucked up version of mind control. I suppose singing praises eternally in mind-slavery to God would be a fitting - even desirable - reward for people who believe religious claims unquestioningly, but I'm not that vindictive.
