Curiously enough, I am capable of indisputably proving that both Heaven and Hell exist. In fact, many of them exist. But I cannot say whether anyone actually goes to those places or not.

Consider Descartes' original arguments. We may not be certain about the information our senses are providing us, but one thing about which we can rely in the most general sense is our thoughts. Even if our thoughts are erroneous in their content, they are indisputably there. Were this not so, Descartes could not use their existance to bolster his own existance as the being which at least reacts to those thoughts. So thoughts exist. Maybe they live in Plato's 'World of Ideas', or maybe they live only in the temporary computing matrix of our minds. But for at least an instant they are definitely there.

Now, it is an elementary task to IMAGINE a Heaven. People do it all the time. Some Heavens are more elaborate than others, and some are very different. But almost everyone I've discovered can picture SOMETHING when you say, "Imagine Heaven". And since thoughts have at least some fractional measure of existance, and we can think of Heaven, therefore Heaven has at least some fractional measure of existance.

So there you go. There is absolutely a Heaven. I've seen a number of people I know show up in my Heaven. Are they the real people themselves? They seem so to me, but I'm a poor judge. I'm taken in by things that seem one way and are actually another all the time.

If you like, I'll try and make sure that you end up in my Heaven when you die. Would that help?

You are reincarnated. You don't leave this planet. You don't go anywhere mythical. What happens when you shut off your computer? Program get stored. More people are born than die. Some of the new ones are truly new... Others are recycled. Where there are too many dead for enough bodies, you get multiple souls in one body, fighting for control. The memory of what you once were is retained but unavailable. Flashes of your earlier life intrude. Your true love, is just the same one from the earlier life.

Maybe there are gods... or god... or whatever. Can you really send a person to hell who never knew of God or read the bible? I have more mercy than this.

I've met too many young kids who knew too much... aged usually under four. Start asking detailed questions, you would be surprised what you find out from some kids.

"Nothing" is eternal. "Nothing" has no beginning and no end. Before and after something, is always "nothing".

If a person is reincarnated, should we have capital punishment?

People who believe in heaven and hell base it on a fictitious source. They run to religion to make up for their lack of knowledge. The christian bible are myths and stories with no historical proof. None of the books of the bible can be traced to a particular person with certainty. None of the New Testament books were written by the people bearing the names of the books. The bible was recited verbally for 150 years before the first words were committed to paper. How accurate is a story passed verbally from one person to another after ten people? You would have a completely different story. The New Testament is the result of popular stories and nothing else.

What are your reasons for why there is no heaven or hell? I would think to have a legitimate arguement for that statement you would have to know what would happen after. Doesn't it worry you not to have a purpose in life...to think you are getting closer to nothing every day? And can there be a nothing without a something? Isnt everything the deprevation of something that makes it a nothing? LIke cold is the deprevation of heat, and dark is the deprevation of light. Read Dorothy Sayers Mind of the Maker and she explains that there is no nothing, but always and absence of a something.

I lose nothing, but what if there is a heaven and hell and Jesus Christ died so you don't have to go to hell and you reject his offer because you did not believe. The reality of hell can be found in the raging fire that burns in the heart of millions those pain that we so often try to medicate with natural things but they won't just go away. You want to know if heaven is real accept the gift of God and read the bible as the manual of The gift of God Eternal Life and you will begin to walk in the heavenly lifestyle instead of having a hell of a day. Hell is real just look around you, on this side we can change sides but once we die our eternal destiny is set.

The exsistance of Earth did not just happen and this planet along with the stars is something that was created. Humans are something real as well. Heaven is a word for a place that all is right. Hell is what certain humans have decided to inflict on us and this planets way of life.
Nothing is also a word not who you or the world are.

There is no way you can possibly "know" and be absolutely certain as to whether or not there is a Heaven or Hell. At least not while you're alive, anyway. That's the whole point of faith--believing in something that no one really knows for sure about.

Heaven and hell are here on Earth. The people "we" the "living" call living are really in hell. The "dead" or the ones in a better realm; but still here on earth. Just my opinion.

You don't think when you're dead. Therefore, you don't think about seeing blackness. Yet, you do see blackness, therefore it is all a giant paradox and if someone happens to come back from the dead, it would be very useful for that person to tell us what actually happens.

In short, enjoy life while you have it and stop thinking about what happens afterwards!

Nature has graciously granted you this gift called life, but it’s going to end. When you die, something amazing is going to happen, your atoms will be recycled and nature will build something new, exciting and incredible again.. You are a small handful of beautifully and artistically arranged particles of atomic dust and at this precise moment you are in heaven, be happy, but do not take yourselves too seriously. …enjoy, life is great!

What happens to what? If you have no soul then there is nothing for which something to happen. If you are referring to your corpse, then what happens will depend on what it done to it (e.g, burned; filled with formaldehyde; covered with honey and abandoned in a desert; becomes someones sex toy).

When your bodily functions stop and your brain dies, that which makes you YOU dies. You as a social creature ceases to exist, but your corpse will remain for a time until something happens to it.
