[Teuthida]

I don't believe in Heaven and Hell in the Judeo-Christian sense. Far too many loopholes for my liking. I would like to believe in parallel dimensions which might explain why there are ghosts and other such things. Perhaps demons and angels hail from some place like that. As for an afterlife...no. Heaven and Hell seem like a boogieman. Seems incongruous to me to withhold from doing "wrong" things simply for fear of going to Hell when you die. Should have a better moral sense instead. And then the whole repenting thing. Can get away with murder (literally) and be forgiven by just repenting for it. Don't like the idea of life experiences being a scorecard for where you go later. For me, when you die, you're worm food. The concept of an afterlife is there because people are afraid of death and they feel comforted by praying and being good thinking they'll be rewarded when they die.
