I guess you'll see how childish they are when you are older or when you are dead.

No. These are believed by a lot of people. It is only a belief. There are no evidences for their existence. But taking this a reason, we cannot say that these are all childish concepts. They are making so many people to be good and avoiding them to do evil things. So it is a better belief, if everyone has a fear of hell, he won't dare to do bad to others. So in my opinion, these are not childish concepts. Congrats for asking this question and you got a "Tremendous response" as a reward.

Well they are a reason to show u how hasty humankind is and how they goit the best of all nd give the worst in return. Life is supposed to be the place wer u implant good tgs, nd harvest much better tgs in heaven, unfortunately, ppl implant weeds and they'll harvest wt the implanted in their afterlife. If ppl didn't fear God or hell, the world would have become a baaaaaaaad place wer there os evil nd no reasons to be good. just as it is nowadays

I think you have lost track of the fact that we all die. That is a fact that cannot be ignored. Even in this age of relative morals, we still hold to absolute morals when someone does a nasty to us. We want them punished immediately. We only say there is no right and wrong when we want to do wrong. But let a person do wrong to us and suddenly we talk like we are in the Judeo-Christian paradigm. Let fire and brimstone fall down on our enemies. Nothing has changed. I know a new age guru who likes to say there is no right and wrong. You should have heard the guy when some red necks wronged him. All that peace and love went right out the window. So I ask you, if we are so filled with anger at wrong done to us and wanting judgment to fall on the wrong doer, how is it that you do not see that this is a natural law in all men? We say whatever we say, but the reality is that that law is there even when we say it is not. It keeps leaking out of our mouths when we are angry at a wrong. So our instinct is that there is a right and wrong and judgment for wrong doing. So when the Word of God says that it is appointed unto men to die once, and after that the judgment, it coincides with our own concept of right and wrong and judgment that we cannot help expressing.

It depends of the concept. Too many concepts focus on the Material. The simple definitions -- Heaven = with God, Hell = apart from God -- are most important. Too many people have Hollywood imagery when we do not know.

Heaven and Hell we makes here in earth (while alive) by very own deeds, concept of reaching either in hell or heaven after the death is made to make the human fear and live in a proper way while obaying the religion and its faiths

Childish teachings that extend into our lives, meant to be concepts for people of all ages.

No. It's childish not to believe in the concept of heaven and hell.

Not childish
But to put forth the fear of punishment and the lure of rewards
to the child that exists in all of us
so that it 'behaves' and gives due obedience
to the dictum's/dictates of those who believe
that they are the only ones who know
how should one live in a collectivity (society).
The whole idea of 'Heaven' and 'Hell' negates the 'Rational' in the Human Being.

No. I think they are a reasonable concept of an abstract method of human thought. We don't know what happens when people die; if there is such thing as a soul, this is simply our theory of what happens to it once it has no earthly body. It's not at all childish, in fact the concepts are so gruesome in some contexts they're quite the opposite.
