ASSUMING there is a heaven and hell, you'd have to imagine that heaven has a lot more people. I'm not very religious but as I understand it, hell is reserved for really terrible people, murderers and the like, not people who cut you in line at the supermarket. (Unless you are one of those strictly religious people, in which case you go to hell for drinking a soda or, you know, humming a Britney Spears song.) So I'd say the ratio would be 60-40 in favor of heaven.
On the other hand, you oughtta have to DO something to get into heaven. Do I realize deserve to get in just because I chose not to kick the cat down the stairs? Probably not.
We need to create an annex for all the just okay people. We can call it Heaven Lite or Cinncinati.

The Bible mentions that Enoch and Elijah were both translated. So these two are in Heaven for sure. Then at the time of the resurrection of Christ, "a multitude of captives" were raised and Christ took them with Him at His ascension. Moses I believed was resurrected by Christ moments after He died and was taken to Heaven.
Hell is not a place that exists at the present time and when it does it will only be for a short time. Satan and his angels will all be destroyed along with all the unsaved and they will be as though they had never been. See Obediah 16.
Jesus said, "many are called but few are chosen." Do not these words indicate that the majority won't make it to Heaven and therefore the majority of those who ever lived upon this earth will die the second death of which there will be no resurrection.

My theory is that heaven is in fact right here right now.. although it can be hell at the same time... so what is the world population right now.. the big q is do you split it down the guts or do you have to count how everybody is feeling at that fickle moment.
Hey the other thing is you assume it exists to assume nirvana etc exist to? what ratio do you put in there..

Going along with your question and assuming they are realities, I am thinking of the Christian version of hell because that is the one I am most familiar with (raised catholic)...
I would think there would be many, many more souls in hell than in heaven. Hell woudl be filled with people who didnt accept Jesus, and also with people who accepted him but did not act accordingly (lots of people that believe in God and Jesus as his son do terrible, terrible things). That is just what I would guess based on my upbringing.

Since we told that There at Revelation 5:11 which says: “I saw, and I heard a voice of many angels around the throne [of God] . . . and the number of them was myriads of myriads.” A myriad is 10,000. One myriad times one myriad is 10,000 times 10,000, a total of 100 million angels!
I think that More people have Died than 100 Million, and since Hell is spoken of as the Grave of Mankind.. it means there are More people In hell (grave) than there are Spirit Creatures In Heaven.

well if hell was real i am guessing that almost everybody would go there. I do not know anybody that has not cursed at least once, plus you have all the people with different religions. So all the people that are not in that religion would go to hell, which is a sh** load of people.

Much more people in hell probably... but this is hypothetically... so I still don't think hell is real...

I think when it tips 51%-49% in favor of hell, that's when JESUS returns.
