Or do you believe in an afterlife of another sort? Where is it? In another reality? Another world? In our minds? Or are we incapable as humans to even assume a location? Just share your thoughts and grounds for them

the only heaven or hell I recognize is here in this life .
death the great equalizer is merely the final reward and relief from an imperfect and arduous life . Sigmund Freud was a great mind who once said ," death is the goal of life".
I 've worked in the funeral business I firmly believe in the finalidy of death . Live your best while you can and don't get caught procrastinating into the next life, it doesn't exist.

For Christians, there is a heaven and a hell. What are they?
Heaven is where God dwells. Hell is where God does NOT dwell. God allows us our "free will" to choose to believe in Him or not. He is also a just God, and if you choose not to believe in Him, then why should He have you dwell with Him (in heaven)? Therefore, you will dwell in the place where God is not, which is called "hell."
When God chose to create Mankind, He chose to make him with an eternal spirit. (Please, ask God why He decided this one... don't ask us!) Now to get REALLY Metaphysical! Let's do the "down and dirty" line of thought for the sake of brevity:
--Our physical bodies die.
--Our spirits do not experience time as we know it, and therefore "advance" to the point in our "time" when Christ returns to earth.
--Our bodies are transformed to "perfect bodies" in which our eternal spirits dwell, a.k.a. the resurrection of the dead.
That's a LOT of theology wrapped up into a few words, and there's still much debate in the Christian community about all that! But we can't here.
Because we are eternal creatures, and God is an eternal creature, that is why there is a heaven and hell... so we can exist for eternity with God, if we believe in Him, or without God, if we do not. I can't think of another alternative to the with or without scenario... it's like a basic binary system... there's a "0" and a "1"...there's "ON" and there's "OFF"... there's "Heaven" and there's "Hell"... There's God and there's not God.
I hope this helps to clarify this heaven/hell stuff!

I don't believe in Hell because of history and how it was used by the church. It's a bad myth.
I don't believe in Heaven as far as a place in the sky. I think when you die there is peace for your soul. Perhaps your energy dances amoung the trees and oceans. When people die, you can feel this peace, that's why I believe in it. But I don't think there's judgement. I think you are just finally released from the stress of being a human.

Yes. God made me, as He made all of us. Gave us free will to choose what we believe. We will all be judged in Heaven, sent to hell if we are unbelieving. I have a question in response to yours--- do you ever wonder why this matters so much? Why your insides cry out for something more?
I have had a very well disguised demon in my home before....I know hell is real...therefore, heaven is.
This is a great question....thanks for asking.

No. Why would anyone believe in such things?
In ALL history, there has NEVER been ANY verifiable evidence to even suggest that heaven, hell, or ANY kind of afterlife exists

We are in hell right now and it's going to get very bad. Heaven is in another place but it is coming here to earth soon.

I believe in Heaven and Hell 100%... I get my believe from the word of God, the Bible... I have faith in what I read everyday, that our God will return to gather his sheep to dwell with him forever and I will be part of that flock... I choose to believe because I have faith in what was written... I hope you do too...God Bless!!
