Heaven & Hell

[MrCoffee]

Okay I may be only 16 but I think about theorys and such alot.
God: I do not beleive in an actual religion, I think that there is some immortal form of energy that is everywhere around us, and people who have died are part of this energy, and when you think you see someone out of the corner of your eye but they arnt there that would be some of that energy, I think all humans have a connection of some sort
Heaven: Im still trying to decide if I beleive in rebirth but other than that I bleive that your reward is another world of immortality.
Hell: I dno havnt reallly come to a conclusion yet...

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.

I don't know if I believe in an afterlife. I guess death would be too dull if there wasn't one. It's a nice idea and all... but I don't know if I believe it in it for sure.



Do you guys believe in a soul?

It's wierd to think about. Just thinking how you wont be thinking anymore. A coma with no way to wake up, and no voices to hear.

Personally, it's not something I spend time thinking of.

Everything is a nice thought. Heavan, re-incarnation.

I think those were "created" to not freak people out before they die. An old lady on her death bed would be depressed and tourmented. However, if she believes in heavan, she is "going to a better place."


I went through this phase where I tried to explain what I think. Which is we just re-live our lives. To us, it is a constant loop of existence. We make the same mistakes, perform the same actions, and live the same lives. To me this (oddly enough, in my twisted mind) explains deja vu's.

I think once we die, we're born again. Not as someone else, but as ourselves.

PS. Edited for self-contradiction in my own mind.

Yeah, I have a hard time thinking that there isn't something on the other side. Just..you can't just go from thought to "poof" nothing. Because there HAS to be something on the other end. It just doesn't feel right to non-exist anymore.

I know what ya mean Typhoid
