Heaven and Hell.
Someone once said "I could never stand playing a harp for eternity." This shows an extreme ignorance of heaven. A disabled friend of mine once describd hell as "A room filled with people, no one can understand each other, not matter what, for eternity." This shows a remarkable insight into hell. What do you think heaven and hell are like?

If no one gets whats going on- too bad!

Human creations to attempt to guess the unknown of what happens after death.

Some people are pragmatists, taking things as they come and making the best of the choices available. Some people are idealists, standing for principle and refusing to compromise. And some people just act on any whim that enters their heads. I pragmatically turn my whims into principles. -- Calvin

Re: re: heaven and hell
Short answer: heaven is eternity with God, hell is eternity away from God.

I'll tell you what hell's not, though. Hell is not a big sea of fire where you get tormented by demons in red pajamas holding pitchforks. (The demons holding the pitchforks, not the pajamas.) Hell was (and is) simply a place made for those who don't want to be with God.

Re: re: heaven and hell
I got 2 reasons for hell:
- über-bad, like in Dante
- a place where people who had their lives bad relive it. I mean, they get drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, etc.

Heaven must be a nicer, more calm place to be. Well, I would hate to get to hell...

Well, or you just cross the gates of Hell and find out that my 2nd guess is wrong and the 1st one is more correct, but the truth is worse... Much worse...

Devil: Welcome to hell Djaser!

Djaser: Wha? Oh god no!

Devil: Ah relax! It's Monday, drugs day!

Djaser: Really?

Devil: Yep, Tuesday is smoking, Wensday we stuff ourselves with food, Thursday is Sex, Friday gambling and Saturday we get drunk.

Djaser: W00t!

Devil: And are you gay?

Djaser: Uh, no actually.

Devil: Ooooh you're gonna hate sundays...

I tend to think of hell as being less torture as distance from God. However, I believe Heaven is more than being close to God, I think of it more as a place where we can enjoy Gods creation as it was supposed to be. A friend of mine once said "God built creation in a week, that's a lot of creativity, do you think he'll leave the sky the same colour, or grass green? When we get to heaven its gonna be one big drug trip." I agree, remember, God invented the ability to get high. :smokin2

I say that heaven is like listening to Def Leppard for all eternity, Hell is like listening to Ricky Martin for all eternity.

Ilian is the first of the Dark Apostles, the Mistress of the Void. Her realm is that of mastery of the Dark Arts, the powers of the Dark Symmetry. She is a powerful sorceress, and is believed to be the single most powerful of all the Dark Apostles, though her armies pale in comparison to Algeroth, and her siblings conspire to usurp her position in the favor of the Dark Soul.

Re: re: heaven and hell
I don't actually believe in Heaven or Hell, as such. However, depending on what you do with your life, there are a few choices after death. If, during your life, you're a "whirlpool" personality (as in, someone who takes from otheres, drains emotions, etc, etc), you'll suck yourself down into Density. THAT is a place to avoid. No thought at all, just an eternal awareness of eternally burning cold.

If, however, you've been a "neutral" or "white star" personality (someone who relies on their own emotional stability, or someone who actively makes an effort to improve others lives), what happens after you die is what you choose or believe will happen.

Re: re: Kevin and Kell
An interesting philosophy, Destiny = Hell, and since I want to go to heaven when I die, heaven exists. The question arises, if you can do whatever you want [what you want to happen] then does that make you God? What if you want to be with someone for eternity, but they don't want to be with you? What if the two of you want different things? Can you affect anything in this life after you die? Who judges wether or not your whirlpool or white star? Why is being a whirlpool personality bad?...

Getting high is a corruption of a natural system, but God created the ability to feel good, even nirvanaic. I believe there is nothing inherently bad in drugs, but that letting them take over your life [addiction] is.

If no one gets whats going on- too bad!

Re: re: Kevin and Kell
Well, it's simple enough. Into play here comes the idea of personal reality. Each person has their own existence, seperate from others. For your existence, you are 'God'. The world responds to your thoughts, desires, and expectations, good or bad. You can impinge on others realities, changing things, but at no point can you ever truly control another person.

A whirlpool personality is just that. Anything that sucks into itself will, without feeding, consume itself. Likewise, something that spins outward will continue to do so until stopped by an outside force. It's simple metaphysics. ;P

Re: re: Kevin and Kell
Heaven = eternity with God. No sin whatsoever. Eternal happiness.

Hell = eternity from God. Sin still exists. And you're forever in pain. Eternal suffering.

hmm, hell for me would have to be re-living life all over again and you know what happened previously. So you know when all the bad things happen and everything. Not all would be bad, but god id hate to relive the first 20 years of life.

By "eternity from God" I don't mean that your back is turned to God, I mean God's back is turned to you.

Hmmm, nice definition. If have an interesting viewpoint for you. What if 'reality' is composed soley of peoples perceptions of it? By this I mean that everyone has their own little universe that no one can alter or effect, but reality itself is composed of the sum of all these personal universes. In this case, hell is not your personal choice after you die, neither is heaven, but both are created collectively by those who die.

As an example, it is not someone attemting to control your universe when they punch you in the nose, its just that everyones collective universes caused reality to be that person smacking you in the nose.

Confused?
