This seems the most likely scenario if one assumes christianity. God gets bored, god creates the world, which creates reality TV... that is to say, god 'is' the world, god creates the world by turning part of god into the world, so yeah, you are made in gods image, everything is, because everything 'is' god... so god find all the parts of the world that appeal, and absorbs them, this is heaven, god is happy so when you become god you will be happy, well, all the happy parts of you that god wants will, the rest will be discarded... Maybe everything else will be destroyed at some later date, I doubt it would happen on an individual basis, god doesn't seem to bother with things on small time-scales, so it just gets discarded... and none of this makes god particularly evil, god just doesn't understands that god might not want to be god... It is very similar to your own imagination, if you imagine coming up with the perfect comeback to something someone said does it occur to you that some of the imaginary audience you dreamed up might not actually want to listen to your moment of triumph?
Derailment warning! We are perilously close to jumping onto the religion track!
Don't worry about the religion track, we're mellow here. Well, at least I am, when it comes to this. I like hearing other people's points of view on religion. (It's politics where I turn into an idiot.)
Anyway, so the thing about the Christian afterlife is that a lot of people take it literally, as, well, fluffy cloud heaven. A place with winged angels and trumpets and eternal bliss in the sight of God and whatnot. They should have learned long ago that
nothing in the bible can or should be taken literally, especially not the discussions of eschatological happenings. That's why, for example, the Book of Revelations should be looked at purely from a sociological-historical perspective, because for one thing, if it were literal, the world would have long since ended, and for another, its author was fond of mood-altering substances.
Metaphysically, the Christian God doesn't want or do or need anything. It
is. It exists. It is the fullest act of being (hence "Pure Act") that there is, and theoretically it is the most existent in its particular mode of being than anything can ever be in their own mode of being. In other words, God is the God-est. That's the philosophical take on god (not just the Christian God, but also the god referred to as the "Prime Mover", which is basically just a principle at the very beginning of the first ever chain of cause-and-effect - the two may overlap, but depending on what religion you belong to, or which denomination or interpretation of Christianity you subscribe to, they may also be entirely separate), at least.
It can be a slightly effeminate merman or a slightly manly mermaid.
And I'd be depressed if I were a giant snail too.
