You're half right - there's no hell, but there's no heaven, either.

Well, that's really neat that you came up with all that, but you should pick up a bible and read it because you are sadly mistaken. There is a real hell and people do go there and it will not be good or even close to what you said. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 13:49-50) Will we be happy in Heaven? According to Revelation 21:4 there is no sorrow or death or pain in Heaven. Instead, there will be laughter. Luke 6:21 & Job 8:21. 1 Corinthians 2:9 says that no one has ever seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him.

That's a good question and an interesting theory.
Someone before me said that we have no memory of people when we go to heaven... If that is true how can the bible promise to be reunited with loved ones in heaven? So we're going to be reunited with family & loved ones.... but we won't remember who they are?
As for the person who made the comment about feeling bad for hitler going to hell...... I don't think that the original question was supposed to be taken in that context.
How would you feel if a great kind loving person went to hell simply because they were jewish instead of christian? Would you think "oh he was nice, but he deserved to go to hell for being a jew!" or would you think "it's a shame he wasn't allowed into heaven, he is a genuinely good person!" ...... THIS is what I feel was meant when the question of feeling bad for people going to hell was mentioned. NOT feeling bad for people who DESERVE to be in hell.
In any case, that is a great theory..... Much better than thinking everyone who isn't christian is going to hell.

God rewards the righteous but punishes the wicked. The rift between heaven and hell will be so great that the citizens of heaven will not be able to see or hear the complaints of the demons and they will be remembered no more. It is said that even the saints will be raised in a new and perfect body that will not be known to earthly remembrances.

A preacher once explained to me that when we're in heaven, we're too busy rejoicing in the glory that is God, and we literally won't care about what happens on earth or in hell. That was the straw that broke the camel's back for me!

Neither God nor a true Christian would be happy with the thought of a person that they knew or loved going to Hell. Hell is the judgement for all eternity and nothing to joke about - going there is not the will of God - God loves all mankind, its whether mankind will love God enough to recognize Him for who He is and respond to the invitation to live in Heaven with Him for all eternity by realizing that His Son Jesus Christ died for us to take our sin from us so that we can enter Heaven - God is a holy and righteous God who cannot permit sin in heaven - it is a pure and righteous place - so the only way to alleviate your sin is to get rid of it by nailing it to the cross where God placed Christ as our replacement to take the penalty that is due us - he took our punishment in our place so that we could be redeemed back to God to go to Heaven...Read the bible - it's all in there !

When a person is allowed entrance to heaven, with its beauty and wonder..the memories of earth that were bad fade from their memory. The bible says there are no tears or sadness in heaven.
Everyone is family in heaven,everyone is accepted, and everyone is deeply loved.

Forgive me, but if God accepted you into His presence because you 'qualified', because Jesus is your Lord and Savior, why won't you be happy?
If your brother or sister made a decision not to do what God wants of all his children; if they preferred the ways of the world as opposed to the ways of God, whose fault is it?
Would you then tell God "I don't want to be happy anymore because my siblings disobeyed you and went to Hell?"
No offence, but stop thinking so hard. If He finds you worthy, be happy!

This is not Hell. We won't be worrying about the people that aren't in Heaven because we won't have any memory of our time here on Earth.

Matthew 13:41-43 (King James Version)
41The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
