What is the goal or process supposed to be in the presence of God? Get to heaven and experience eternal happy-fun-time?

Something grand-sounding but incomprehensible, like every other God-of-the-gaps answer.

Charitably, the same as the goal in the presence of a Friendly singularity.

You're not supposed to ask. Hence the phrase semantic stopsign.

The goal in the presence of God is to continue to worship God. Forever. To people actually worshiping God right now, this seems wonderful. Or, at least, they say it does, and I don't see any reason to disbelieve them.
