Heaven is not all about clouds and angels but, my bible clearly states in Revelation 21 that there will be no more crying pain or death; It also states in Revelation 21:21, "The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass." So in other words heaven will be as glorified as it's cracked up to be, just in a different way though. That doesn't mean however that there won't be eternal peace and "cosmic" unity with god.
Hell is by all means a seperation from god with no state of unity what so ever. There is still fire and brimstone though, and I know that for a fact. Revelation 21:8 states, "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." Which means that anyone who has not submitted their soul and life to god will NOT go to heaven and will burn in hell with the fire and brimstone.
All in all both perceptions of heaven and hell are basicly true if they are both put together.

Okay, sry, but I have to intervene. The Bible, is mostly written by human knowledge. Of what they learned from Jesus and what not. Even though I am a Catholic, I do not totally trust the Bible for three reasons: 1.) Human's back then exaggerated what they could not explain. Like, they would probably call a rifle a thunder stick. If they had seen one. 2.)
It's human knowledge! We make various mistakes every second of our lives. 3.) The Bible is so frickin' old, we don't know if anything like Jesus even happened back in the past, the Bible could've been tampered with, yadda yadda yadda. You get my point?
