Just heaven. The concept of Hell makes no sense to me.

No, not really. I mean I dont deny that there's a potential that either could exist, I just dont concern myself with it. I figure I'll find out for sure when that time comes.

Are you comparing religion to a mythological creature? That is just wrong on so many levels.

As a physical place I believe in neither and believe it's obviously just a tall tale that has exagerated over time. I'm open to the idea though of some kind of reward after death for good actions and punishments for bad ones.

No, there is also another topic about that too though. There is one specifically titled Is Hell Real? Please don't be so ignorant.

Look at my previous post. And also why post in here then? Your opinion is meaningless since you didn't post one. So just don't post in here. :|

Hang on you want us to talk about heaven and hell not in terms of belief but in terms of knowledge? How exactly do you expect that to happen, nobody knows anything particularly not about a supernatural place.

There is a difference. There are rational reasons to believe in Heaven/Hell. Fairies, Santa Clause and the rest...not so much.

Yes, Futurama proved it:P. Just kidding. Matt Groening was probably wondering the same thing when he made that episode. I don't believe in Heaven or Hell. I'm still trying to figure out if I should even believe in God.

I don't believe in either. I'm an agnostic, so I'm not sure if there's a god or not (probably not), but something I AM sure of is if there's a god/godess/gods it has absolutely nothing to do with the descriptions made by ANY organized religion. All religions are made by humans, it doesn't matter if they have a bable or a qu'ran (sic) or whatever, they're just humans like me, so they can't possibly know anything more about god than I do.

Oh, but of course! I mean, it's so obvious that heaven and hell are real. :roll:

I believe heaven and hell to be real... I also believe gravity to be real. Your argument just failed.

a belief is not knowledge. you do not only believe it to be true, but it explains why everything is not floating around you. you witness it to be true, because when you drop something it falls back to the earth. so there is physical evidence, as in you can use your senses to see the apple fall to the earth. therefore, you are taught it in school, and it is commonly accepted. so no you dont believe in gravity. you KNOW gravity exists. whereas heaven and hell, can only be believed in. one cannot accumulate evidence that in fact heaven does exist, through testing or seeing it or proving it mathematically. heaven and hell are concepts, or places, we as humans believe in. there is no way for you to say "see, look there is heaven." so 'believing' in heaven and 'believing' in gravity are completly different. one is a belief and one is an explination for why the apple falls instead of rises.

no, that's right on many more levels. he's comparing mythology to mythology.

for instance, people of today, well most of them at least, wouldn't regard greek gods, or norse gods, or sumerian gods, as a real religion, but merely as mythology. what makes the religions of today any different?

Who says I do not witness my God to be true by the things I see around me? Just because you interpret those things differently than me doesn't mean it isn't knowledge. I do not deny that I could be wrong but based upon the evidence I've seen... I believe in God. In just the same way I do not deny that I could be wrong about the evidence I've seen about gravity. The evidence from what I've witnessed is that both are true.

but just because god is true does not make your version of god true (christianity). thats a leap. also that does not mean that heaven and hell literally exist. yes one may see the flowers or the spiral of the seashell as perfect as they all follow the same pattern, and one may use that as your personal evidence that god exists. at the same time that evidence may not be enough to convince someone else, or apply to another christian, who says "no i believe that god just made the big bang and the rest was all just what happened" for example. also evidence to yourself that god exists (such as the seashell example) does not mean that heaven exists). if for example you saw the earth open up and hell deamons running around, and you werent drunk or hallucinating in any way, you would know that hell exists.

I understand why you'd believe that but I believe it to be the Judeo-Christian God that exists due to the Bible. I know that's a very cliche answer but I'm constantly learning more and more about the Bible every single day typically for hours at the time. The more I learn the less I doubt my God to be the God of the universe.

Um, sorry, but could you be the christian to finally give me a good, logical explanation as to why the bible, a book written by MEN thousands of years ago, provides ANY evidence that god exists other than the usual "the book says it's true, so it's true period"?

I believe it to be completely true and the Word of God. I take many passages to be literal and many to be figurative depending on the genre of the passage (poetry for example isn't to be taken as literal, the historical books are). Also, I believe each passage should be interpreted in the context of the entire Bible and not just taking what a single phrase says. Basically yes but I believe the Bible can be easily misinterpreted.
