i am a christian, and i blieve that ther eis a heaven and that ther eis a hell. That there are demons and that there are angels. I think that the prince of power over this world is Satan and that is due to adam and eve's choice in the beginning. God's love still pours into the world and that is the ONLY reason that there is love and the good things in life. But this is what i believe...what about you?

I believe you were right but now i think there is more unconditional love pouring into the world than ever in history. The kingdom of God is within you. I have found it within my heart, in union with God in unconditional love. As the colors of the rainbow are contained within sunlight so to we are all contained in the light of Gods unconditional love within our hearts. Oh, yes, the fires of Hell were destroyed as the baptismal waters returning satans sins were pouring into it.

Satan is alive and well on the planet earth. He is in power because he was cast out of heaven and down to earth, not because of Adam & Eve's choice in the garden. With him were a 1/3 of the angels cast down. The angles cast down are demons. God's throne is in Heaven and Jesus is preparing a place for those that believe on Him. Hell or Hades is where people who don't believe in Jesus go when they die. God gave us a choice a. have a relationship with Him or b. live an eternal death with Satan. This is all stated in the Bible that is my reference.

Nope. I beleive in reincarnation. God wouldn't be so childish as to force people to be tortured for eternity in the firy pits of hell. And if God has so much power, why does Satan even exist?

Hell is a state of mind, which means to live for ever without God. Heaven is to love and to be love forever.

None of them exist, nor the folklore surrounding them. You are the only thing that exists for yourself, and the love that you can give, is yours alone. No god, no angels, no adam, no eve, no satan. Try it and see.

HELL IN KJV
One Hebrew word “sheol” is rendered hell. Definition; hades or the world of the dead (as if a subterranian retreat), grave, hell, pit. Three Greek words are rendered hell; geenna, hades, and tartaroo. Definition of geenna; a valley of Jerusalem, used (figuratively) as a name for the place (or state) of everlasting punishment: - hell. Definition of hades; properly unseen, that is, “Hades” or the place (state) of departed souls: - grave, hell. Definition of tartaroo; (the deepest abyss of Hades); to incarcerate in eternal torment: - cast down to hell. Tartaroo is used only one place II Pet.2:4.
Christ teaching the Pharisees in Luke 16:19-31 shows us a separation from God is truly what hell is. The “water” is symbolic for God’s Spirit and love. The word “tormented” means distressed in the Greek, not torture. The “fire” is symbolic for the shame and desire not to be separated from God.
So all who die the first death of the flesh return to God Ecc.12:6-7, but on which side of the gulf do they end up?
Hell is not eternal but is done away with in Rev.20:14-15, called both the second death and lake of fire. This second death is non-existence, for death and hell and those not written in the book of life. This second death or lake of fire is like fat drippings that fall into the fire. Just a poof of smoke into non-existence.
Psa.37:20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
In my mind what’s worse yet is no memory of you, no tears will be shed for you like you never existed.
Rev.21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
So hell is a separation from God and is not eternal torture or burning. Eventually hell will be done away with or passed away and also some souls. Like fat drippings in the fire, a poof of smoke into non-existence, the second death.

There is no evidence for either.
It isn't reasonable to believe in anything without evidence. You would be left with anything stupid that human imagination could come up with.
