Christianity is a way of life. If followed correctly, it allows man to live together in harmony. Loving one another and caring for the needs of one another. Whether you believe in heaven or hell or not, it offers a way for us to get along regardless of the afterlife. That would make life alot less hard and miserable for some.

first of all there is a heaven and a hell- however you ask if I would follow my religion if there wasnt. My answer is YES- because following Jesus Christ in this life is incredible, To think that I can have a personal relationship with the creator, is amazing to me.

Then there would be no religion and America would not be as it is because it was founded on Christianity.One thing for certain there is a Heaven and Hell.It depends on how you live your life wheather your going to Heaven or Hell.

Hell is an industry.
Heaven is a marketing tool to streamline behaviour.

Judaism already has no hell, and it doesn't claim to be exclusively correct(it only claims to be a path, not the "only" correct path)
I don't believe in what I believe in out of fear or for a reward after I die.
I believe what I do, because it has been shown to me as correct.

I would. I'd have to say I'm "mostly buddhist", so I do things because they hurt people the least I possibly can.
I wouldn't change that, even if I got rewarded for cruelty

It -should- be more effective with heaven and hell from a philosophical standpoint, but, as often happens, people start to judge. When they do this, they have it all wrong...

Yes
because it improves who I am as a person. Not because I expect reward for it.

I follow my religion because there IS no heaven or hell.
Reincarnating is what we do. Continuous learning of ourselves.

no becuase religion is man-made and I would continue to do as I do...do what is right for me....to follow man's rule is nothing less than being a sheep..as most are on Earth.
