Where do you expect God to be? Jesus says I am in you. Allow people to believe whatsoever and just mind your own business and you will be much happier. Beliefs are in the head, so are science, love, hatred, ignorance and everything else. If believing that our loved ones go to heaven after they die, and that helps the bereaved to cope with loss, who are we to make them change their beliefs? Take it easy.
