I almost live there...
Lol! I live in West Virginia, and John Denver wrote a song (Country Roads) and in there he says "Almost Heaven, West Virginia"

Because it is logical. Einstein theorized that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. Believing that theory to be true, we are more than our flesh and bones. If the soul exists it has to continue on in some form. Heaven (or Hell) would be a decent explanation of where our souls will eventually go.

it's better than the alternative. No heaven almost seems like no spirit... and it's too final when someone dies. I think people that are left behind when a loved one passes wants to believe in heaven and feel they are safe and happy after death, and it's a way to keep in contact with them through prayer and keeping their spirit alive.
not sure what I believe, but I don't like the idea of total darkness and the end.

I had a serious accident a few years ago and spent the better part of two weeks in a coma...it was then i saw and experienced what i believe was "my heaven."
Heaven or hell is a state of mind. It is your state of mind just before you die. It is how you feel just before you die.
If your state of mind is one of confusion and pain or agony then your "heaven" would be similar. However, if you die and your frame of mind is one of peace and happiness then that is where your heaven shall be.
That of course is my opinion.
Do i believe in "heaven?" Yes. I have prepared myself for it long since. Have you?

Because i have seen it and i know people who have experienced heaven personally.
Check out Ps Jesse Duplantis's DVD when he went to heaven.
I would still believe in heaven even if i didn't have a small glimpse of it because i know God personally.
Knowing God is believing in Heaven.

I believe heaven and hell exsist here on Earth. Some people are living in life of luxury that's heaven and others are starving in places like africa or on the streets bankrupt and homeless that's hell.

I dont believe in a christian heavan, though i believe a form of the christian heavan exists, i dont plan to go there.
The way i see it, one of 3 things can happen when you die (generally)
- You return to this earth and are reborn into the cycle.
- You believe so strongly that something exists (like your version of heavan) and you go there, along with people who think the same way. Generally in one of these places there is very little growth, and it can be a sort of stepping stone for people to addapt and move on. Generally this is kind of a psudoheavan.
- Finally you can achieve awareness, and rise to see the beauty of the multi plane existance we all live in. You transcend, becoming aware of aetherial forms of existance, astral forms of existance, as high as casual forms of existance and beyond. Here heavan comes in many forms, and is ultimately complexe. This is often reffered to as enlightenment or ascension, the limit of which is total oneness with the universe and beyond.
I believe it because i've felt it, and i've experienced it first hand. I've been to where im going when i die, and because of this i have no fear of death.

The concept of heaven brings joy and eases people into the acceptance of death. It brainwashes people to think, "Even if I die and stop living, my eternal soul will go someplace nice, and it'll be like I never died at all."
It's pure brainwashing. Heaven is what you make it.
Hell is a way for people of faith to attempt to brainwash those who do not believe in their particular faith. Fear is a superior training tool. If you convince someone that when they die, they will suffer the pain of a million deaths for the rest of their eternal life, they'll be more likely to see it your way, in attempt to reach the good place, Heaven.
I believe in neither heaven nor hell.

I believe in God and God said there is a heaven. So I believe in a heaven. I have faith that when I die I will go there. I believe in an afterlife.

Heaven is there, and there to stay.
I believe in the Second Life - but not here on Earth, but in Heaven.
So, to go to Heaven, you must not sin. This one can do chiefly by Controlling himself/herself.
