Heaven or Hell - Where will you go?

I'm a good person, I'll go wherever good people go. If it's heaven(doubt it), then that's where I'll go.

Heaven or Hell, where are we now?

I've been naughty and nice :( :)

I don't believe in Heaven or Hell.

According to Christian Mythology I will be going to hell. According to my own mythology I will cease to exist as an entity.

Ever since I saw that Twilight Zone episode, I can't imagine a Heaven that wouldn't become Hell.
anon: this reality is both Heaven and Hell and neither. (I hope that wasn't too Kristal Rosey)

I just participated in a Marilyn Manson fan conference online...live...I am going where ever he goes!!!

I suppose it depends on whose version of heaven and hell -- the criteria change depending on what variety of which religion you're looking at. i like to think that i've lived my life well enough to make it into heaven, but i sometimes fear that my shortcomings will doom me to hell.

This should have been a multiple.
I do them all, then i'll move on.
I'm in no hurry to leave, since both happen here.

jjg: tell me more. whats an entity?
bill: They all get more intense in balance. Its like when i was a commercial team programmer, the other programmers problems were a breeze for me to fix, but i was getting problems they couldnt touch.

I thought this was hell

sometimes, sometimes not, its not for those who know no better, nor is it for those who do, it depends on how you sit on the fence.

I haven't been an angel, that's for sure. I believe I will go to Sheol and toil through the burden of my life's evils. After that, I will arrive at the judgement. I will be exhausted and content. I will be glad but humble. Perhaps I will reflect for eternity on the nature of my G-d. Perhaps I will return to Earth and try to find Her again in her own new life...

Many of my relatives are ChristaDelphians, who interpret Sheol to have meant dirt graves. Find her now.

**K_R:

With regard to Sheol: I have never heard of ChristaDelphians, but their interpretation and mine aren't so far off. I imagine Sheol as hard toil in earth--digging trenches, forming the land--with no break for the body, but contemplative freedom for the mind as it leaves the body to it's work...

With regard to Her: I did find her. :) I enjoy every moment I spend with her. I wonder if I could find her again in a different life...

Oh, you most certainly do understand Sheol. I hope you can.

"Heaven for climate, Hell for society." It depends on whose "moral" yardstick you're using. According to the neo-Christian ethics being promulgated these days, I'm going straight to Hell. If I am judged on loving, charity, and positive contributions to individual humans, humankind, and the universe, it's a mixed bag but I like to hope the balance favors Heaven.

But eris...they are all going to be there!
I don't want to go where Pat Robertson and Jimmy Swaggart are going to be.

Don't waste you time even defending what you know 'inside'.

twisty: Now, i'm scared. Would I have to listen to them?

KR/t/and other alters...yes...we all would...so in a sense...heaven would actually be hell. hell on the other hand would be full of those who refused to conform to the Christian rules. Artists and musicians, prostitutes and homosexuals, thieves , liars....wait...strike that..... reverse it.....then that would mean all TV evangelists would go to hell...not heaven....

I abstain....I'm going to be reincarnated...as a cat.

You picked a handle alright. s     (tail of a cheschire cat)      s    (tongue of a cheschire cat)

Hell - All my friends will be there.

The old 'There are only two reasons to worry?'

Well, I DON'T believe in heaven and hell, but I clicked on heaven because even though I am far from perfect, I feel that I am basically a kind person who would never intentionally hurt another, and that's what I think is important in life. Therefore, the possibility of being "judged" after I die does not scare me. However, if the Christians are right, I'm screwed!

God - Your last couple surveys have been a great improvement. Keep up the good work!

I don't think I am being judged, but if I am, I've still got some catching up to do.

If Eris's interpretation is right then Pat and Jimmy won't be in her heaven. If the (modern) Christians are right then we are all screwed.

>-- (*) -->
When will you people get it. We are one eternal entity. No could possibly get lost in the shuffle.

Perhaps we just need to close our eyes and LOVE Pat and Jimmy until they let go of their hatred... By which time they could be MIGHTY SORE!

I have behaved, for the most part, in a way which is in keeping with what I believe to be a high standard of personal morals. There have been times when I've acted in ways counterindicated by my own ethos, and in those circumstances I have, mostly, tried to make amends. HOWEVER, I have pretty strong evidence that my personal ethos are considered highly immoral by some others. I'm really not sure, some days I judge myself harshly, other days I'm very pleased with myself and my behavior.

Eris & topper, you are shining stars. I never had to question you. You already know the criteria.

touche, Kristal Rose

Thank you, just when ignoring comments elsewhere was becoming a fencing match.

KR, sorry but I do not reread every survey for new posts, therefore I might miss some replies. I must admit I find some of your posts quite novel. Its probably your latersl thinking at work.....michael

kr: tell me more. whats an entity?

agnosticism is...

*sigh* well, it sucks, but it keeps me from thinking for too long on questions like this and confusing myself

7: I think i'll pass on that one for now.
Oddly, I've seen agnostic musicians, who transmit big time on the ether net. Get over thinking about it. Do it just.

I dont believe in either. This is a horrible survey..so bias.

They are both options here and now, in the flesh, but not ultimate destinations. Why wait?

hrm--.. Okie.. Let me take back my last comment. I would go to hell--

I've done my 'bad' things in life.. ALthough I am a good person.. but on a christian's p.o.v. I'd go to hell.. but that doesn't matter to me-- because I'd rather go to hell then heaven .. ..

I'd rather be w/ an honest deamon..then a lying hypocritical god.

h: Heaven on earth is a place where everyone you meet has absolute trust and love for each other, and many of them go as far as knowing every thought in your head, and work with you explaining things. The birds sing, the meals are wondrous with everyone contributing, the skies are clear of smog and smell of flowers, there are no strangers. If that doesn't seem worth having, take your option. If you've taken King James literally, I understand your difficulties.

Halo - I feel the same way.

Kristal Rose - Dream on...

        SueBee : (Presuming that was meant with a taste of sarcasm)
The above was scenario was one of my been there, done that's. I was only able to keep that flavor of circumstance for three weeks at the most, and only a few times.
Someone who's been there help me out here.

I think you might be the only one.....

oh ye of little faith.

I have tons of faith...in real stuff. Tangibles.
I have no faith in imagined worlds. It's fun to think about and creativity is to be applauded. But there is a difference between what is real and what is illusion/delusion.
There is a time and a place for dreams.
But I have found to make a dream come true, you must also keep your feet firmly planted on the ground.

Kristal - Your heaven on earth sounds splendid, but I think constant "perfection" like that would actually get rather boring. How could we appreciate the good things that happen to us if nothing bad ever happened? How could we appreciate beauty if there was nothing ugly to see? How special would spring be if there was no winter?

I've often debated this. Wondering if that's why i left those circumstances. That description of heaven bore a great similarity to a state of Satori, which isn't conducive to comparative analysis. That 'heaven' bears little similarity to the relief of an ice-cream or cold soda on a hot summer day. If your only experiences of Joy are based in contrasts to hardships, then I see how you would think that way. I guess I like solving hardships, any i have on my own are only a matter of opinion. All my physical and emotional needs are taken care of, so i keep myself busy coaching others in trying to reach such a state. I occaisionally ask for hardships in the same fashion as people choose to watch horror movies, but it's hard to take seriously for long.

Art cannot exist in utopia.....You need conflict to create.

Maybe that's why i left. In that state, everything was beautiful, and art would have been redundant.

I just wanna say: Argh.

Kristal.. Don't preach to me.

I have been a good little girl since I was five years old. I intend to go bad when I'm 40. So I guess it all just comes down to a question of departure time.

I think that I would go to Heaven. Everything that I do may not always be the right thing in other's or even in my eyes, but I think that I am a genuinely good person.

If there were such a thing, I'd be going to Hell. I like the explanatory text on this survey; way to head the whiners off at the pass! :)
