Default Heaven and Hell are just products of human imagination?

I ask all you people to really answer....Do you truly believe that Heaven and Hell exist?
In my opinion, they are just places of imagination and were created to moderate the behavior of human beings.
From generations to generations, people have been advised to do good deeds to find a place in heaven or be cruel to others and GOD will punish you with cruelty to lie in hell....after the last breadth....

Do you really believe such things happen?

Do give your frank opinions...members...

Regards,

Walker

Tough question. Its just like asking whether GOD really exist and if there is existence of afterlife. There's no definitely answer to it and whether it exist will depend on the individual's believes.

My point of view is that Heaven and Hell may exist but I can't be sure of that either.

Yeah, I agree that the idea of Heaven and Hell help to moderate behavior. At least it provides a guideline for appropriate behavior and promote good values.

I believe Heaven and Hell exist by my reason of common sense. Also many saints have told us about heaven and hell.......one thing is for sure is that well find out when we die.

Yes, in a way I think heaven and hell does exist -- is it possible that our heaven and hell are created by us, right here on earth? I think it all plays into the delicate balance of the world and whether or not we understand the laws of attraction. By the way, I really hate that stupid video 'The Secret' -- but it is true, we attract much of those bad things that happen to us, as well as good -- and in that we essentially create our own heaven and hell -- that said, I don't know about dying and going to a physical heaven and hell.

They do exist. Only in your minds. Only in the fantasies of believers of all religions, god, gods, goddess, goddesses etc. Only problem is that none of them are going to know it even after their death as there is nothing after death. Even if you try to tell them this truth, they are not going to believe it as they were brain washed in to believe all these stuff when they were like 1 or 2 years old.

yes, i do believe that heaven and hell exists. how do you think that word come up if there's never ever a heaven and a hell? at some point before or in ancient times, people such as visionaries or seers must have seen or must have dreamt that, thus, a fiery pit is the last recourse of all who does evil in the world. While those who do good are rewarded with a special place in heaven with the Almighty One. i do believe that, and i hope when all of us depart from earth, we'll see each other in heaven.

Some have said including religious teachings that heaven and hell do exist and if you become a sinner, you will go to hell and if you abide by the rulings of god , then you will go to what is called heaven . Still even some religions say that you should believe in god and have faith and this will ensure your entry into heaven . So does that mean that if one does not do any good work but still believe in god , then you will go to heaven? For me personally, it is important to do good deeds and have faith ..

I don't think so, no. I think that it's comforting to think that the good people will go to a place of wonder and happiness, and the bad will suffer for all of time. It's also convenient for forcing morality on the masses, though that is becoming less and less effective as the belief in science spreads across the world.

Smile Re: Do Heaven and Hell really exist?

Well, I think that there is Heaven because we are living in hell. If there is no hell, then there is no heaven but we are living in hell and there is no doubt we are living in hell and hence there must be a Heaven.

you are right Buah. If there is no Heaven then life in itself is just a punishment for no crime of ours. However, since there is a heaven somewhere beyond the clouds, this life is just like a journey and we are just passing through. This is not our home. Our home is up there beyond the clouds and it is trouble-free. No pain and No tears. That is the only meaning to life and that is why we are living. We cannot skip this life because it is the way to our heavenly home.

I don't believe in heaven or hell, Like you said about it being a way to change peoples behavior but there is no prove of it existing or not but seeing how there's more of a possibility it of being a lie seeing as how i and anyone can make up something about where you go or what happens to you after dead. Also if you notice, it was back then, where there was not much to explain in the world, for all we know, it could have been used to scare people, used as a scam, and even used to unite, but as some of you know, i am talking about the bible as it includes both heaven and hell.

do you believe that ghosts exist? do you believe that every human person has a soul? do you believe that every human person has a spirit too?
