Unless eternal bliss is code for "whatever you want," I think it's a wolf in sheep's clothing. If you aren't able to experience anything but one thing for all of eternity, I think around year eight zillion or so, you'd suddenly realize heaven isn't heaven.
Eternal anything has to include the ability to experience "other" or I'm not game.
Maybe it's just the eve in me talking. If you know what I'm getting at. :-)

I think I know exactly what you're getting at, but I think I disagree. You're thinking that you'd be unhappy after a certain point of time because you want variety. Normally, when we don't have variety we become unhappy and we want something to break up our routines. With eternal bliss, however, you are always happy, ipso facto. A lack of variety would not matter if you are really in eternal bliss. And just because you're always happy doesn't mean everything has to stay the same all the time. Heaven can accommodate variety and eternal bliss.
