a Muslim goes to muslim heaven, a Christian to Christian heaven, a Buddhist reincarnates and an atheist ceases to exist?

Our understanding of the afterlife is so very limited. I think the common threads throughout many of the religions points to a similar outcome that is probably independant of spiritual flavour. Our personal spiritual tradition gives us a way of comprehending an incomprehensible concept.

I think there is only one heaven and hell. I am Christian, but believe in the possibility of reincarnation, too. Maybe we are supposed to learn or experience certain things on earth before we go on to heaven or hell. I truly believe that we will all know the answers when we die and leave this planet.

That's the Ori belief, so, I'll have to say "yes." Each of those heavens exists on a different astral plane. Just as they refer to what is seen in the sky as "the heavens," the same can be said of the afterlife.

No. Heaven is a fiction. It is easy for a con man to offer bliss in an afterlife because no one can demonstrate that he is a liar. But there is utterly no evidence that any of the religious views of heaven has any factual reality.

I think that where we go is accoriding to what we learned. To me heaven, and hell is a another level of existance, not in a physical way but only in spirit.. If someone before they leave this world takes fear with them, then the projection of their own fears will be their existance. If someone leaves this world and feels they have not forfilled their purpose, then they may have to return to learn some more. It is a spiritual evolving of the mind, and we live that in this world, and take it with us in the next. So it does not matter what religion you chosei n this earthly life it's how you chose to learn from it, and what steps you took to gain more enlightment of yourself, and of the higher divinity of god, that rests within
I wish you well

No, I think there is one Heaven and those who believe and live right regardless of their religion will go there. On the other hand I also believe in hell, so I'm sure there will be folks headed that way also.

Death is a new beginning.
There might be different rooms, for different beliefs, yes.
I don;t know, I can't re member what heaven was like.
I do know that I'm going there when I die.
We are all connected to each other and we will meet one day, possibly in one of those rooms I spoke of.
That's what I think.

no it doesnt matter which god or gods you belive in There is only one supreme god no matter what u call him or think that the way he created the world was different, everyone is going to the same heaven because he loves us all equally right? then why would he separate us to differnt heavens, sure ppl have differnt names for it its all the same ONE GOD ONE HEAVEN :)

no. I beleive that every good person goes to heaven, despite what they beleive. Ultimately there is one God and one Heaven and he's not going to punish you for what you've been taught. He will only punish you for what you have done.

That makes FAR more sense to my way of thinking than anyone being all right or all wrong. But then I believe that what we experience is shaped directly by our beliefs.
