Though a theist I feel way too many people are hung up on these concepts. To me the goal is not the attaining of one, or avoidance of the other. Oh sure, nobody likes to feel the pain of a hellish experience, but at the same time suffering is in part what molds us into the ego we identify with. If we felt nothing but bliss of heaven or the agony of hell, I am convinced we would feel nothing at all.
Maybe the point of life is more so like waves lapping upon a shore. The come in. They go out. Simply put, our never ending journey, indicated by the motion of the sea, is our true calling.
