I am catholic so I believe that there is heaven and hell. I do beleive that you have to do good in this world to be able to go to heaven but if you do evil and bad more than good in this world I do believe that you will go to hell.
Heaven it is hard to concept the thought of living for eternity in heaven and that everything would be perfect and everyone would be nice and kind.
Hell it is also very hard to think that you will be punished for many years until getting the chance to go to heaven. Also you could be in hell for eternity suffering if you do very bad things in this world.
What is you thought on heaven and hell?
Do you beleive in heaven and hell?
Do you think you will go to heaven or hell?
Is God really real?
Discuss, it can be short or long answers or views.
Seriously, you people. I don't care what you compare it to. The stock market, a just-been-built chair, a precarious rope bridge over a ravine, just pick one. Things you've never done before. there are some things you just have to put BLIND FAITH in.
Say, it is breakfast time in your home. You walk to the table, and sit down in a chair. You have just demonstrated and example of faith. You are putting your faith in the structural integrity of the chair. Some things in this universe you just have to put your faith in with no solid proof.
One more thing, a chair is built by someone. With someone making it, it is not possible for it to come into existence. Now if a chair can't build itself, how come a human made himself?

At least with a bridge rope, I know the material of the rope and of the steps, and you can do this with anything.
And I see it exists, I just don't know how it reacts. However, I am convinced there is no god so how could I possibly put blind faith in something that I am convinced doesn't even exist? You see now why your examples are still next to the point?

Noone ever said that humans made them themselves, I don't know what you're getting to.
To hahiha, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU COMPARE IT TO!!!! IM JUST GIVING EXAMPLES!!!! PICK THE STOCK MARKET FOR ALL I CARE!!!!! To thepunisher93, I am with hahiha, no one ever said humans made themselves.
You can't compare it to anything that we all know does exist, that is my point. You are convinced that god exists, so this is easy for you to say. But I am convinced he doesn't exist. Would you put blind faith in a kitchen chair you are convinced doesn't exist? Would you just sit on air by blind faith?
Obviously not. But to you it is sitting on air, but for me, it is believing in God. I could ask you the same question about your belief in atheism. Me believing in atheism would just be like me sitting on air by blind faith.
Yeah, except that atheism does not require belief since it's a lack thereof. But no matter... At least now I hope you see why bringing the blind faith argument with funny comparisons won't ever convince any atheist.
Atheism really is a belief, though. It is a belief that there isn't any God. You BELIEVE that God doesn't exist. Your belief has a name, which is atheism. Atheism isn't just the name for nothing.
I'd rather speak of it as a conviction; 'belief' or 'faith' always have religious sidenotes that don't really match my convictions. I could go on but I think it's better we leave this be, ok? Because I've seen such arguments numerous times and they never really lead to a consensus..
