If the biological functions that produce anxiety don't exist anymore than surely the biological functions that produce happiness and love all cease to exist as well right?

Mortal happiness, certainly. But Orthodox Christians consider that sinful, too.

Shedding one is just as important as shedding the other.

Mortal happiness? So Immortal happiness still exists? What about Immortal anxiety? Does that exist?

Buddhists define it as an absence of craving.

What about Immortal anxiety?

That's hell.

I'm pretty sure Buddhists aren't really allowed in the Christian Heaven so it seems a little irrelevant. I agree a Christian Heaven does seem like hell though.

Prove it. Show me a Christian Heaven with no Buddhists in it.

A bunch of people sitting on clouds, playing harps, and vibing? Seems pretty chill to me.
