Would you rather, spend eternity in heaven giving praise to a being who created you (he also allowed for the possibility of hell, where he sends your loved ones who do not believe to be tortured for all eternity)? or would you rather cease to exist?

I would rather cease to exist. Not that I can imagine that but if I had those options I would rather cease to exist since praising a lord and creator for eternity would get boring after a week, maybe a month tops.

Ceasing to exist is so sad, final and just pointless. There is just no meaning to all this with no afterlife. I dig the heaven thing, compared to this crazy world, that is my hope. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen. Oh, and BTW, heaven and hell are choices, God does not send you there per se, He gives you the choice, FREE WILL. He loves us that much that he gave us the will to choose for ourselves. I hate when people blame God for suffering and hell and Him sending folks there. Make your choice whom you will serve, no greater love than that. Time to grow up kids, and be accountable, not to blame a loving God who made it possible for you to avoid torture for all eternity. Quit copping out and blaming your own laziness on God and Jesus. Can I get an AMEN?

Not really an accurate picture of Heaven, but I would rather that than cease to exist. As far as my relatives are concerned, I'm sure I'll be ok with them in Hell as I'll know that it is just and is what they chose.

I would rather spend eternity praising God. I believe that Hell is more a state of being than a place. I don't think God "puts" any of His children there. Rather they end up there because they remove themselves from His Presence.

I would rather spend eternity in heaven with all the wonderful people and God by my side. Not all my family members and loved ones will make it to heaven but as long as I plant the seed for them to try then I am doing my job as a christian. Plant the seed and it will either grow or the devil will try his hardest not to let it grow and after that you have to stand back and just watch from a distance and continue on your walk with God.

I'd have NO problem praising my Creator in Heaven - I do it now, daily, in this world, in this life. I believe in Jesus as my Savior. Those that don't believe won't have to worry about 'praise' because they will be spending eternity in Hell. Praise is a good thing and there will be no Good in Hell!

Christianity. Lol. In terms of organized religion, that is the last religion people should be worried about. Not only does it contradict itself more than any other religion due to its own complexity, but it also makes itself impossible with now known worldly knowledge. So I'll take option c, live a good life, and we'll see.

Is this an open fair and unbiased question? I think not!. But to play your game, I would say "I prefer to cease to exist." That way I wouldn't have to hob nob with the likes of your kind in heaven. :-((

I would rather be in heaven because by definition it's a nice place to live, but since there is no such place, I'll go with cease to exist.
