do you really believe that God which is good and great would send you to hell, to an eternal fire? then why did He sent Jesus to save us? do you believe in Jesus, dont you? in my own opinion there cannot be any hell; maybe just a place where you go if you hate God, instead of loving Him, but if you repent, He'll take you in His arms and in His kingdom which He wanna share with you.
Look at these beauties, and then answer.

I do not believe in hell at all. Like you said, there may be a place where you go if you are lost about God. God is love and forgiveness and our greatest Parent. He knows he doesn't have to punish us, we punish ourselves.
I do believe there is an afterlife, an other side.

I think more and more people are starting to realise that the contents of the Bible are just nonsense. The Bible is just a man-made play script, with several actors God, Devil, Jesus, Satan, Adam, Eve etc, and of course some intriguing imaginary places like Heaven, Hell, Purgatory and Limbo.
I certainly don’t believe in the Bible and I doubt any reasonably intelligent person would either. However, if you view the Bible as a man-made play script, with several actors God, Devil, Jesus, Satan, Adam, Eve, Noah, and so on, then you can certainly start to see a clever interwoven plot, that the audience is unaware of. It’s really just a drama thriller with clever twists.
You see, if you seriously think about it in an unbiased manner, then clearly the actor God in the Bible could really be the Devil, and the audience (religious believers) are being sucked into being the bad guys, who then use religion to get everyone fighting each other.
On the other hand, the more intelligent audience (Atheists) spot the plot and try their best to teach believers that this is just nonsense, stop getting sucked in. Some people have over time decided that the play is real. That's very sad.

Well, first we need to ask, do I believe in God?
And before we can do that, we need to define God. So for this purpose, God is a supernatural entity which created and controls the Universe.
No, I do not believe in this God. Why should I? Because I'm told to? I could tell you to believe in a magical chicken in my basement, that is supernatural and you will never see. Oh but, of course you wouldn't believe THAT. Except...it's the same thing.
From this we can deduce that the preposition of a supernatural God is groundless and from here, logic dictates that it is more likely he does not exist. Occams Razor.
Now then, obviously you can take a guess at if I believe in heaven and hell or not. Of course not XD Atleast, certainly not in a traditional sense.
Makes sense to me that once you're dead, you're dead. I mean, your brain is dead people. The cells...everything bam zing dead.
I'd say you've got your hopes up pretty damn high if you plan on landing a seat in some heavenly place. But hey, it's not like it's going to matter either way, since you won't know you're dead or died anyway if my logic holds ;)

we have free-will. It is our choice> God isn't going to force us into spending eternity with him in heaven, instead he will send those to hell.
Revelation 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
A Devouring Fire
KJV Isaiah 33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
A Furnace of Fire
KJV Matthew 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth

No I do not. I believe when you die you just die. Go lay in a whole or get insinerated and put in an urn as a keepsake. That sounds kind of abrasive, but I do believe it be much more true than the bible, heaven and hell.

I believe in God. God is love. Heaven is being in the presance of God. Hell is not being in the presance of God. God will allow you to choose God or to reject God. Nothing impure can get into heaven, so God will purify us all before welcoming us into his kingdom.
