The common belief of the Christian appears to be that when you die you go straight to heaven. Actually you're dead in the ground until Judgement Day. [Spirituality & Religion]
There are a couple folks like Moses and Elijah who are up there already but by and large you stay dead until the second coming.
So where did the idea come from that you go straight to heaven after you die?

I'm pretty sure that after we die, we reincarnate in a never-ending line-up at the afterlife's equivalent of the DMV. As soon as you get to the front of the line, you discover you have not filled out the proper paperwork, and are pushed to the back of the line. This cycle is eternal, but since there are no mortal needs, everyone just patiently waits, as there is no better alternative.
