That people don't take it seriously. When they find out, it will be too late and THAT breaks my heart. I would not see one person go there.

After reading some of the other answers, I can see that there a lot of frustrated people out there in cyberland. I think for the most part, all those people are young and either confused or frustrated. Those frustrations come from a lack of knowledge. Most likely you all have be told things about heaven and hell and as of yet seen no proof. You have probably tried to look it up in the Bible but have not be able to find the answer.. Perhaps you would like to believe but so far you are just confused and frustrated. Unfortunatly I don't have the space here to tell you everything so I will just give you a couple of things to help you get a better idea. First..don't believe everything you hear. Most of the people who preach the gospel are just as misinformed as you are. The truth lies in the word of God as it is written in the Bible. For you to find the truth, you need to read it in the proper way. Number two.. the proper way is to understand that the bible is not a history book nor was it written in chronological order. It was written by many men who did not know each other. They came from different countries and were spread over about 1800 years. The bible is a collection of those writings set out in books and chapters. Though each may seem to contradict others, the truth is that each and everyone of them is in perfect harmony with all the others. According to Gods word..there is a heaven..where it is..I don't know..according to Gods word there is a hell..where it is, I don't know..but I do believe that what is written is true and am betting that in time I will find out. If there is no truth to it, then when I am dead, it won't matter to me. When I die and find out that it is true..then I am going to hope like hell that I did enough to wind up in a good place. I refuse to try to figure it out and frustrate me. I suggest you do the same. Make things easy on youself.. just make up your mind to live with a faith or not. Having a faith comes from a knowledge of Gods word. I can't give you all the answers here.. but if you want to contact me through email.. I will tell you how to satisfy your frustration..

The fact that we thrive that theres is a heaven and hell. Its like how would the living souls know there is a heaven or hell. Do some random souls just get post cards from their dead relatives telling them about such a place? Or how is it that heaven is up in the sky and hell on bottom? I think that the whole thinking that such a place that we don't have proof of exist gets me frustrated Dont tell me I'm gonna go to hell or heaven when there is no evidence of those places.

Not much... but I do agree with Ryan - it is silly if people actually think hell is in the middle of the earth and heaven is in the clouds. That isn't frustration at the concept, it is just frustration about what some uninformed people think.

What I dislike most about the concept of heaven and hell is...the concept of heaven and hell. Assuming (by a great stretch) that such places even exist, NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN THERE, so how can we have this intricate, detailed description of what each place is like?

I'm unsure whether you get to Heaven versus Hell on a points system. Most people try to be good but are rubbish half the time. What happens to them? Presumably, God knows what He's doing.
My worry is that I will wake up to find myself among thousands of pure and virtuous people with not an unkind word or a saucy prank in their minds. Sounds like Hell, to me.

The thing that annoys me most is people still think Heaven is in the clouds and Hell is in the middle of the Earth. To this day Im still being told that by people who are over the age of 40.

That people can't see that it is just something that the human mind created to comfort them when some one that they loved died (heaven) or to comfort them into believing that the person they hate the most will edventually pay for what they did (hell).
I don't believe in either...and the next thing that frustrates me is when a person that does belive in heaven and hell tells me I'm going to hell because I don't believe what they do.

The idea that the nicest person in the world, self-sacrificing, giving and caring of others, who devoted their lives to the betterment of mankind would be condemned to an eternity of torture because s/he didn't believe in the Judeo-Christian God...
...while a mass murdering, torturing rapist could go to heaven if, in the hour before his death, he was "really really really sorry" for being such a bad person for his entire life.

That good people are supposed to end up in hell just because they don't believe in god. Some people need proof! If god is so great, why'd he make us that way? So that we WOULD burn in hell. He would have known that already, and still lets it happen. Sick! All the while, mean, arrogant, ignorant and intolerant christians are supposed to be in heaven . Makes ZERO sense.

Nothing. Since I believe God, there is a purpose for everything. I don't want people to end up in hell. Jesus said that hell was prepared for the devil & his angels.
Too many people choose to be the devils angels/messengers.
