Hell is Nonexistence. Heaven is, well. You know what Heaven is.

In almost every religion, both antiquated and modern, there is a conceptualization of some sort of 'heaven' 'nirvana' and hell.  \n\nI don't think any one person or religion can claim it.  However, what is interesting is the human need for this sort of metaphysical understanding.\n\nIf we create a hell, why?  What purpose does it serve? How does it help us organize our spirituality and our morals?\n\nDo we need a hell to scare us into morality?  If we need to be scared into a sense of morality... is it really morality?

Heaven is that moment when you realize that your life will turn out okay.  Heaven is being able to learn from your mistakes and not regret how you might have been able to do things differently.  Heaven is knowing that no matter who is right and who is wrong, the truth of faith cannot be changed.  And if you believe in one thing and find out you were wrong, there is little you can do about it.  Heaven is a state of mind, a dream, a hope that keeps us going when we feel like giving up.  Heaven is what we want it to be, solice and peace.\nHell is not loving who you are inside.  Hell is doubting your faith.  Hell is having to defend your ideals to society.  Hell is heartache.  Hell is inner fear and uncertainty.  Hell is not believing in yourself.  Hell is also a state of mind, a nightmare, a darkness that creeps into our minds and can consume us.  Hell is mental torment.  Hell is spending a life worrying about something you cannot change or dreading something that is already done.\nIn order to ever have peace in any sort of "afterlife" you must first be able to find peace within yourself.  When you find that, Heaven is not far away.

My God!!! I really really really hope it will be hell. I could never stand to be around all of those...those....creepy types with names like Marge and...Midge...I know they will all be there in heaven feeling all perky and what not. Can you imagine?.."Are you happy Midge?  Have another pop tart and some Pepsi"..   They be there worshipping and singing all those dull hymns all the night and day crowded in together trying to get 15 seconds with Jesus. I can just see JC now with the angels all around trying to keep crowd control... C'mon, C'mon...stay in line now...you you ..over there now...in line..\n    I want to be around folks that danse and fuck and get it on... really ...right?

I believe there is a Heaven and a Hell.  Those who accepted the Lord will live eternity, those who didn't perish in the fires.

This version of Hell is non-existent.  Hell is an eternity in the absence of God.  Fire and brimstone is a man made myth.

Deep down I think everyone knows that there is a heaven and a hell. If you are really seeking and searching, ask the Lord if He is real, and if so, to show Himself to you in some sort of personal way. If I didn't know the Lord, I would be very afraid of what might happen to me after I died.  The thought of facing Jesus after I've died, and knowing that I denied Him, in this life is a very real thing. Good question!

The popular Christian vision of heaven is somewhat frightening I must admit. Yes hell seems more exciting indeed. I mean talking to the devil, wild parties, exceedingly loud music, drinking, (sex orgies without condemnation?), making fun of the devil to piss him off, etc. Well you know, people love fun, and for that you have to be a little naughty (or a lot). And we also need to consider that the Christians have demonised hell (like they demonise everything they don't understand), so yes I'll take my chances with hell and I bet it turns out to rock.

I really do believe it is just a state of mind. If there is a hell, I can't imagine that there are really red devils with horns and pointy little sticks. If there is a heaven, I don't think it is some "golden city" in the sky...I have a feeling (note it is just my instinct, no biblical or other religious portrayal) that when we die, we are connected to a new form of life that will possibly be more vivid and advanced than our present form. I believe it will be our "higher self" and we will have more capabilities than we can possibly imagine here on Earth. But, who really knows....

Nobody knows what happens to us when we die, or this concept of hell or heaven. Well by catholic mythology, i think as long as you live a good life, christian or not, youll go to heaven, or spend a few years in purgatory at the most, because comon, then over half of the world would be going to hell. Heaven would be like some deluxe snob club where only a few members were allowed in.\n\nBut realistically our concept of heaven and hell has grown out of control, its turned into a huge bribe, but hey i guess it works a lot of the time. The jews (the religion christianty evoloved out of) didnt have a strict conept of heaven or hell, they knew to live life good, and that god would punish them in life for unfaithfulness and sometimes the punishment would carry over to those that were close to them. They had some slight concept of bliss and punishment in the afterlife but it didnt consume all the time and thought as it does in christianity. Actually it sounds like it was tampered with somewhat by rulers and writers.\n\nI dont think jesus wants us to suffer, if anything i think hed give us a redo, in a soemwhat reincarntional concept., then again if jesus did exist and was god's son.\n\ndont worry about it so much and just try to live a good life by the golden rule.\n\ndont take naything form the bible literally, most of its to be taken out of context into your own consideration and recieve a message and apply it to your own life.

The "hell" is a christian concept.  I was a christian for many years.  In my desire to become more enlightened I find that I'm more spiritual than religious.  I've looked into some pagan religions.  The idea is about finding peace and a spiritual path. (I would like that for all of us)

I seen  your answer, & said to myself, "that sure looks familiar" then seen you gave me credit, it's okay.\n\nIn the coming new paradise nothing will hurt or destroy. There will be perfect peace. All people will be healthy and happy. It will be just as God wanted it to be at the beginning. \n\nGod promises that he will give people who love him the very things that Adam and Eve lost.\n\nDuring Jesus’ Thousand Year Reign, faithful humans will work to turn the whole earth into a paradise. (Luke 23:43) Also, millions of dead ones will be resurrected to human life on the earth. (Acts 24:15) If they do what God requires of them, they will continue to live on earth forever. If not, they will be destroyed forever.\n\nLIFE IN THE RESTORED PARADISE\n\nSickness, old age, and death will no longer exist. \n\n“God himself will be with [mankind]. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”—Revelation 21:3, 4.\nCrime, violence, and wickedness will be gone forever. \n\n“As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it.” —Proverbs 2:22.\n\nPeace will prevail earth wide.\n\n“The righteous one will sprout, and the abundance of peace until the moon is no more.”—Psalm 72:7.\n\nHousing will be secure and work satisfying.  Isaiah 65:21-23. \n\nHealthful food will be available in abundance.  “The earth itself will certainly give its produce; God, our God, will bless us.”—Psalm 67:6.\n\nEverlasting life on a paradise earth will be delightful. “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Psalm 37:29) “The wilderness and the waterless region will exult, and the desert plain will be joyful and blossom as the saffron.”—Isaiah 35:1.\n\nAnd "rockchick13" I would imagine you will be able to snowboard because the Scriptures tells us the "four seasons" will exist in Pardise.

Jewish depictions of heaven as a place where humans go upon death are few, and depict it as a place where Jews spend eternity studying the Written and Oral Torah.\n\nJewish depictions of hell as a place humans go upon death are even fewer. According to most depictions, upon death, Jews who have sinned spend twelve miserable months in gehenna before going to heaven, although some accounts suggest that certain classes of sinners never go to heaven.
