A Satanist died and went to Heaven. St Peter met him at the door. \n\n"You can't come in here," Peter said.\n \n\nThe Satanist asked why.\n\n\n"You're a Satanist.. sorry. But Hell isn't so bad. Your friends are there, and they say it's cool."\n\n \n\nThe Satanist is depressed but goes anyway, because he was, well, a Satanist.\n\n \n\nSo he goes to Hell and is greeted by a beautiful green field with people picnicking and having a great time. A man in a white comes over to him and presents himself as Satan, and Satan tells him of all the delights in what appears to be a 5 star resort.\n \n\n"Wow!" thinks the Satanist. "Hell is awesome! I'm happy to be here."\n\n \n\nSuddenly, the sky gets black and fire spews from the ground. A screaming, flaming man falls from the sky and is swallowed by a crack in the earth. After he disappears, everything returns to normal.\n\n \n\n"What the heck was that?!" the Satanist asks Satan.\n \n\nSatan replies, "That was a Christian. They wouldn't have Hell any other way." \n\n----------------------------

If you believe in heaven and hell, then you'd believe that you have to do good things to get into heaven, and bad things to get into hell. If you indescriminately nuke people then you'll probably go to the hotter one of the two.

This isn't hell.  Hell has no beautiful waves or green trees,  its just a place where people weave back the pain they caused here so the universe can be healed.  Very few people go there.  Until recently anyway.

Heaven and Hell do exist, here on terra firma itself. \nThe concept of Heaven and Hell are tied with joys and sorrows.\n\nYou pay for your crimes in this very life. Your good deeds negate the bad things. Since even the worst criminal has performed more good deeds than bad, life is good even for him/her/it, and happy 80% of the time, even for the poorest beggar, it's the 20% that we pay for our errors that hurts us, and are a painful memory to prevent us from repeating the same mistakes/sins again. (The 20% figure could be exaggerated and on the higher side)\n\nWhatever happens happens for good. Boy am I preaching or what?

Nobody knows what happens to us when we die, or this concept of hell or heaven. Well by catholic mythology, i think as long as you live a good life, christian or not, youll go to heaven, or spend a few years in purgatory at the most, because comon, then over half of the world would be going to hell. Heaven would be like some deluxe snob club where only a few members were allowed in.\n\nBut realistically our concept of heaven and hell has grown out of control, its turned into a huge bribe, but hey i guess it works a lot of the time. The jews (the religion christianty evoloved out of) didnt have a strict conept of heaven or hell, they knew to live life good, and that god would punish them in life for unfaithfulness and sometimes the punishment would carry over to those that were close to them. They had some slight concept of bliss and punishment in the afterlife but it didnt consume all the time and thought as it does in christianity. Actually it sounds like it was tampered with somewhat by rulers and writers.\n\nI dont think jesus wants us to suffer, if anything i think hed give us a redo, in a soemwhat reincarntional concept., then again if jesus did exist and was god's son.\n\ndont worry about it so much and just try to live a good life by the golden rule.\n\ndont take naything form the bible literally, most of its to be taken out of context into your own consideration and recieve a message and apply it to your own life.

There isn't a hell. The bible speaks of going to hades or sheol, which are both terms for mankinds natural grave without any afterlife. Belief in God can come by reading bible books like Job and Psalms and taking a look at our surroundings. Someone must have made all this. Next, turn to Matthew chapters 5-7 and read Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and use his "outline" of how to pray to do that; to pray to God. Ask for support and forgiveness in an honest and true way. This is where faith then comes in. Works without faith is dead, so have faith in your creator to guide you. May God be with you.

We have to trust in God. He knows what He's doing, even if His reasons are not immediately obvious to us.\n\nHopefully, hell exists, and all the evil people will go there after death to pay for all their crimes, while good people will be rewarded in heaven.

I believe in Heaven and in hell.  I believe that every person has the opportunity to get to either of those places.

Hell, according to many religious beliefs, is a place or a state of pain and suffering. The English word 'hell' comes from the Teutonic 'Hel', which originally meant "to cover." "Hel" later referred to the goddess of the Norse underworld, Hel. Compare Anglo-Saxon helan, Greek kalyptein and Latin celare = "to hide, to cover" (all from PIE *kel-).\n\nAccording to many religions, the afterlife affords evildoers to suffer eternally. In monotheistic religions, Hell is often populated by demons who torment the damned. The fallen angel Lucifer in Christian theology, otherwise known as Satan, is commonly portrayed in popular culture as the ruler of Hell. Others portray Hell as the final resting place of the Devil, prepared as his punishment by God Himself. Hell is also defined as an utter absence of God or redemptive force. Purgatory, as believed by Catholicism, is another place of torment for sinners who have ultimately achieved salvation but have not paid penance for the sins they have committed in their previous lives. Hell on the contrary is commonly believed to be for eternity with no chance of redemption or salvation for those who suffer there. Christian faith teaches it is a domain of boundless dimension, scope, and torment. Many monotheistic religions regard Hell as the absolute ultimate worst-case-scenario, per se.\n\nIn polytheistic religions, the politics of Hell can be as complicated as human politics. Many Hellenistic Neopagans believe in Tartarus, which may also be considered a version of Hell.\n\n\n\nRabbinic Judaism\nGehenna is defined in rabbinic literature. It is sometimes translated as "Hell", but this doesn't effectively convey its meaning. In Judaism, Gehenna is not hell, but rather a sort of Purgatory where one is judged based on their life's deeds. The Kabbalah describes it as a "waiting room" (commonly translated as an "entry way") for all souls (not just the wicked). The overwhelming majority of rabbinic thought maintains that people are not in Gehenna forever; the longest that one can be there is said to be 12 months. Some consider it a spiritual forge where the soul is purified for its eventual ascent to Olam Habah (heb. עולם הבא; lit. "The world to come", often viewed as analogous to Heaven). This is also mentioned in the Kabbalah, where the soul is described as breaking, like the flame of a candle lighting another: the part of the soul that ascends being pure, and the "unfinished" piece being reborn.\n\n[edit]\nAncient Greek religion\nAnother source for the modern idea of 'Hell' is the Greek and Roman Tartarus, a place in which conquered gods, men and other spirits were punished. Tartarus formed part of Hades in Greek mythology and Roman mythology, but Hades also included Elysium, a place for the reward for those who lead virtuous lives, whilst others spent their afterlife in the asphodels fields. Like most ancient (pre-Christian) religions, the underworld was not viewed as negatively as it is in Christianity.\n\n[edit]\nChristianity\n[edit]\nGeneral history and description\nThe Christian idea of Hell is different from the Sheol of Judaism. The nature of Hell is described in the New Testament on several occasions. For example, in Matthew 3:10-12, Matthew 5:22, Matthew 5:29-30, Matthew 8:12, Matthew 22:13, Matthew 25:30, Matthew 25:41-46, Luke 3:9, Luke 12:5, Luke 13:28, Luke 16:19-28, and Revelations 12:9, Revelations 14:9-11, Revelations 19:20, Revelations 20:10, Revelations 20:14-15, Revelations 21:8; in the Book of Revelation Hell is also mentioned as the "abyss" and "the Earth". Jesus himself describes Hell as a place of "weeping and gnashing of teeth"; this quotation has frequent appearance in the New Testament.\n\nThe population of Hell comprises the souls of those who died without accepting Christ as their saviour, God's grace, in sin and without re

Some believe in heaven or hell, some it's reincarnation, some stick around on earth for various reasons.  My opinion is when you die you are gone.

To not believe in Heaven and Hell is to be truly ignorrant.\n\nEspecially when they are placed right in front of you, here on Earth. How blind can you be? Ofcourse there is a Heaven and a Hell. People just choose to ignore it so they can continue living their sinful ways. They can deny it and argue it all they want, for in the end, they will have to face it eventually.

Ok here we go- I am sorry this answer is long but I know if you read it, it will answer your questions-\nBy the way I am A christian myself and have been studying the bible daily for over 6 years-\n\nWhoever you choose to follow in life whether it is Satan or to accept Jesus Christ you are alive.\n\nIf you have not accepted Jesus and you follow the ways of the world and Satan, you are still alive physically but dead to God and condemmed. Your punishment which is death in Hell does not come until your physical death and judgement day.\n\nNow about hell-\nHell is a very real place. Jesus spoke more about hell than any other topic. Jesus made it very clear that hell is a true place with detailed descriptions.Check out a few of the following scriptures that mention hell-\nNotice the following scriptures are very descriptive. Would these decriptive words be used to describe a place of no thoughts, no emotions, no body, nothing? To be nothing is a blank, but the following scriptures identify hell as a place where you feel, think,etc.\n\nMatthew 25:41 (Jesus speaking to people at final judgment), ...Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels\n\nRevelation 14:11, And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night... \n\nRevelation 20:12, 15, And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life...And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. \n\nMatthew 10:28, And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. \n\nLuke 12:5, But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which AFTER he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. \n\nMatthew 18:8, 9 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or feet to be cast into everlasting fire. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. \n\nMatthew 25:46, And these shall go away into EVERLASTING punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. \n\nII Thessalonians 1:9 Who shall be punished with EVERLASTING destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power. \n\nIsaiah 66:24, And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be abhorring unto all flesh. \n\nMark 9:44 (speaking of hell), Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. \n\nJude 7, Sodom and Gomorrha...are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. \n\nMatthew 22:13, ...Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. \n\nMatthew 13:41-42, The Son of man (Jesus) shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. \n\nRevelation 21:8, But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. \n\nPsalm 9:17, The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. \n\nIsaiah 14:99-11, 15 (referring to Lucifer), Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee...all they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? Thy pomp is brought do

That depends on the definition of sin and if it really exists.  It also depends on the definition of hell and if hell really exists.\n\nIf you wish to go to a place called Hell, there is a little town called Hell, Michigan.  You may go there in the winter one day when it has frozen over as a joke as I have done.  It was a bit more convenient for me, however, as I was taking a cousin to the Detroit airport and we had some spare time that winter to goof off.

There is Heaven, where believers and righteous dwell.\n\nThere's also what we call Hell:\n\nHell\n\nWhy does Hell exist?\n\nThe place Hell is where God cast Lucifer and his legions after rebelling against Him. Lucifer was an archangel with, like others, a free will which he abused and assumed himself higher and mightier that God. Some other angels believe Lucifer, which made God angry so God casts all of these abomination to the place called Hell.\n\nWhy does wicked / unsaved souls leads to Hell?\n\nSince Lucifer or Satan has no power over God, he lured His creations with His likeness (human) to his realm by tricking us, first Adam and Eve, then down to us.\n\nHow can we be saved?\n\nThis is the very reason why the Son of God came to earth to save our soul and pay for our sins. For God loves us so much and He doesn't want any of us to go to such a place. In order to be saved, we should accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, and that we should accept His love and forgiveness, that he died for our sins. On the Judgment day, the Hell itself will be cast to the Lake of Fire, which will be the second death.\n\nWhere is the Hell?\n\nHell is located at the center of the earth. Which forms like a lying silhouette of a human, with head, torso and limb-like dwellings.\n\nHow is it like to be in Hell?\n\nFirst of all, as souls (you after death), we still have all the senses we used to have in our body, only much much keener. And since you're from earth, you even have the feeling that you have flesh (burning sensation, thirst, hunger), only that you wouldn't die the second time.\n\nWhen your soul is at Hell, you don't have strength at all to save yourself. \n\nDEMONS\nHell is full of demons which looks like a very deformed humanoid of up to 12-13 ft tall. Their limbs are like one is longer and the other one is shorter. Some have big heads, others are small. Some has longer torso, others have longer legs, and so on...\nDemons are ignorant, all they know is hatred to humankind (souls). Which resembles God's likeness. They are unimaginably strong. They don't have mercy, so whenever they see a soul, what they do best is to tear it apart in agony (senses are keener, remember?)\n\nStench\nThe stench in Hell is like all of the bad odors combined (rotten eggs or foods, decaying carcasses, feces, sulphur, etc.) multiplied by 1000. It is terrible, very very horrendous, and to think that our senses are much much keener. If a body went to Hell, it would've died. But no body can go there except for soul, which cannot die. The stench alone will make you long for death, but death will not come for you are already dead.\n\nDarkness and sounds\nHell has a very very pitch black surrounding. None can be seen on earth of such a dark place. There was a blackness that you couldn't even imagine. All you'll hear from hell is the sound of screaming, billions of people screaming in that place. A scream of anguish, torture, very loud ang penetrating. You can't get away from that screams, you'll have to endure it forever 'cause there's no way out from Hell. No hope, no salvation, non-ceasing.\n\nFear in Hell\nOn surroundings alone you'll feel fear, from the sound and smell and darkness. But Hell alone without what mentioned above can make you feel fear. It grips you. Its like seeing a very scary movie at its climax then take that and multiply it to a thousand and hold it there, that is how you stay all the time! This is another thing that you'll endure forever in Hell. For there's no escape.\n\nHeat\nThe heat was so intense, it could kill your body a mile away but you don't die in Hell. The fire in there is your only but terrible light. It's too hot but at the same time its too dim. Not enough to decrease the darkness around.\n\n\nThere's no rest, no hope, and all fear, eternal torture, and shame in Hell. Not even a fool would want to go there.\n\nREPENT! For your chance of not going there i
