There is a God
There is a heaven
There is a hell
There are demon
...For sure i'd choose heaven...hell is a place with no love,peace,or good...God gave us the choice of wether we want to be with him or not...he's not forcing himself on us...God is kind and gentle and i believe that God wants know one in hell...but there are those who choose to be away from God....God is Heaven...being away from him is hell...simple as that...and i dont believe hell is about torture or fire like the Coptic Pope said...its about seperation from God
God=love=peace=happiness=heaven...being away from that is hell
God bless!

i know that there is a heaven and hell etc. and i'll choose heaven. God does exist and for sure disbelievers will test your faith( there's no evidence that says He doesn't exist), but in the end you have to be a good human being don't matter what anybody says.

I would choose Heaven, I want to go to that paradise that Adam and Eve had, but they ruined it. That is the reason that we die. God loves mankind and the punishment for sin is death even though God didn't intend for that to happen. We were suppose to live forever and Adam ruined it. That is why we all sin and are imperfect. But I am working on trying to do God's will and not mine. And that is hard to do. Can you imagine what Jesus went through, being perfect for his father. I can only imagine. God Bless you and everyone.

if i knew such a thing without a shadow of doubt then i would know enough about the 'heaven' and the 'hell' you speak of to make an informed decision.
surely you wouldn't expect me to choose just on the basis of something that _you_ have imagined.

I would preference Hell.
The very existence of Hell would prove that God was an immoral, sadistic, evil monster. It is immoral to support such a being.
My morals are all I genuinely have, so I would have no choice but to oppose him.
Good thing heaven and hell don't exist, hm?

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints...
The sinners are much more fun.
I love Billy Joel. And I also prefer warm weather, and decent people, and it seems like I would find both of these in hell. Especially since the Christian god sends people there for simply not believing in him, even if they fed the homeless, built houses for low-income families, and donated millions to charities. Please, put me with those people.

This is a fairly stupid question. If given the choice between eternal bliss and eternal suffering very few would choose suffering. Including me.

Heaven...Why would I want to be tormented forever and ever in hell? by the way amiram a thanks for finally clearing up the heaven and hell debate and that either do not exist. Since you know everything, what are the cures for cancer and aids and all the other diseases.
Hey x2000..why do you say that? God would have not been the one to turn against you, you would be the one to turn against him. looser

It does not matter. I would not choose or act in any way to change the outcome of my destination.
I have always been an atheist. OK, that is not completely true. I am not an atheist. I am not a believer. I am not an agnostic. I am none of these because the answer to god's existence is unimportant.
People ask what would convince me that god truly exists. While I am not sure, I am certainly open to any tangible evidence. I do not know what evidence would convince me because I believe it is impossible to prove the existence of god. What evidence would convince you that god does not exist? See the conumdrum: it is difficult to answer their question! See falsifiability (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability ) for an explanation of theory and the rules of evidence.
Do not quote bible passages as evidence of god's existence. This is my standard of proof, not yours. However, if proof were proffered that convinced me god exists, I would change absolutely nothing in my life or my behavior. The existence or not of god does not matter. Like many humans I live a purposeful life and god does not add more purpose.
What if evidence were produced that convinced you god does not exist with certainty (evidence according to your standards of proof)? What would you change in your life?
- Would you stop evangelizing?
- Would you start sinning more?
- Would you stop helping those less fortunate than you?
- Would you feel that life is meaningless?
Let us examine one area Christians think about atheists. Christians seem to think non-believers hope that their good deeds will get them into heaven, should heaven really exist. The Torah (Old Testament) has a word for this: mitzvah (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitzvah ). Many atheists such as myself perform mitzvahs not for the sake of getting an admission ticket into heaven, but because performing good deeds and helping those in need is the right thing to do. In other words, these are selfless acts.
Christians sometimes proffer Pascal’s Wager (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%27s_wager ) suggesting to non-believers that they should accept Jesus (John 3:16) as some sort of insurance policy against hell, just in case it turns out god really exists. The fallacy with this line of reasoning is that faith in god for some reward or to avoid punishment is not faith at all. It is a selfish act to receive something in return for a belief. The point of religious belief so that one becomes a better person, not to receive a reward or please a spiritual being.
Even the Torah addresses sacrifices or any other act in an effort to please god as displeasing god.
So why do you believe in god? If it is to enter heaven, that is very selfish. If god, heaven, and hell do not exist, would you still perform mitzvahs and follow the Golden Rule or would you say what is the point? Mitzvahs are not meant to please god.
Many Christians also claim that only those who believe can live a moral life and those who do not believe in god have no moral compass. That implies that one lives a moral life, not because it is the right thing to do, but because god expects us to be moral. Again, the fallacy with this reasoning is that mitzvahs and morals should be followed because god or a holy book dictates rules to us and not for personal philosophical or spiritual reasons.
In summary, I have no stake in god's existence. I do not see existence of heaven or hell as a reward and punishment system. If the whole purpose of the Golden Rule preached by Jesus was to treat others and I would like to be treated, I can follow his philosophy without believing in god. What type of god would want me to pledge my fealty to him or her simply for the sake of believing or proving my allegiance? I would expect god is beyond pride and the need for some following.
For all those thumbs down votes, I ask you to examine your personal motivation for believing in god.
Why is the concept that one can perform selfless mitzvahs and possess moral values without belief in god so difficult for many Christians to comprehend?
