do you really believe in heaven and hell, and that you're only either for or against God?

Don't confuse not believing in a god with being for or against a god.\nIf you don't believe in a god, you can't believe in a heaven or a hell.

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.

I don't necessarily believe in the whole Christianity heaven/hell concept, but if I did, I would say that where you go after death depends on what's in your heart, not what comes out of your mouth, or where you spend your Sundays. I can't imagine that God would find much good in the hearts of Hitler or the other fellows you mention. I think a good hearted Pagan or Jew or Muslim or Buddhist or whatever has a better shot at heaven than a bad person who states they accept Jesus. I think people worry a lot more about labels (like Christian, or Jew, etc.) than God does.

I would have to say "Yes"\n\nAnd one question I pose to you is what belief do you have or what 'religion' do you take part in?\n\nI believe in God, Angels, the Devil, and Demons...\n\nOne thing to realize though is that God is the highest of all authorities, and the hierarchy of this would be\n\n1. God\n2. Angels / Satan (because he was actually a fallen angel that wanted to be a god himself and with him he took 1/3 of heaven's angels with him to 'Hell')\n3. then demons, which are in essence fallen angels under the rule of Satan himself.\n\nThe most important thing is to believe that God really does have control and He gives us as humans the free will and choice to decide what we will do.\n\nI hope this helps in some way.

Do you believe that our heavenly father, God is the only and true god?

God is anywhere and everywhere. The same God that resides within me also resides within you. Heaven and Hell are both right here, you experience one or the other depending upon how  you live your life.

I don't think you have to believe in God to believe in some kind of afterlife, there are many relgions in the world each one with it's own beliefs and viewpoints.  I personally believe in a soul, but that does not automatically mean I believe in Heaven.  I do believe something wonderful will happen when I die, I am just not sure what that is yet, and I hope it is along time before I find out.  Maybe he was there, because evryone was thinking about him.  It's hard to say.

WoW! Interesting and deep questions...\nI would get on my knees and pray, but not just on my last day; praying everyday is a good thing.\nI would accept it being my last day, because what ever is God's will is fine...and I do believe there is a better life after this earthly, physical life. As for fearing death, I'm pretty sure I would, but again, there is something greater to look forward to, and God says that this life is nothing compared to the afterlife. So...I do believe in Heaven, but not the "mythical" sitting around on a cloud thing that some of us learned in some churches. I believe Heaven to be as you said, "to see the face of God" and Jesus Christ"...and much more than that. Those chosen to be in God's government, ( as opposed to these corrupt, worldly governments that exist now, will be wiped away, along with all the misery and suffering!) will help set up a fair and right government, which keeps God's laws, ( not all these man made B.S. laws!) This new system of living will allow people to learn to live God's way, with peace and happiness. (I'm sure there will be opposition on this!) Many more wrongs of this messed up world, will be corrected...Lots of work to do! No time to just sit on a cloud!\nAs for HELL!!! I believe that, as the Bible says, it is a consuming fire, and that it serves the purpose of burning up those who will not accept God's law, after they have been taught in the future. It will be as if they never existed; so basically, we are all given the chance to learn God's ways, either in this lifetime, or in the next...amd hopefully, we'll accept it, and not be destroyed in hell! There is also the mythical "Dantes Inferno" which influences us to think of hell as an ever burning punishment...I don't believe this is true at all...God is loving and merciful, and will give us another chance to learn how to live, how to love, how to obey, how to be happy, how to live harmoniously with one another, no wars, how to worship etc.....and IF we continue to want to live, as we do now, with Satan's influence dominating this messed up world, that's it! Stick us with a fork! We're done!!!

That depends on your own beliefs. Do YOU believe there is a heaven and hell? Do YOU believe you will go to either one of them? If you do, then they do exist. \nIf you don't believe they exist, then you probably won't go to either one.

I think you can make your own form of heaven here on Earth.  There's no way to know if it exists in the afterlife until you get there, so the best route is to make the most of what you have here.  \n\nI don't believe in hell, simply because the concept of a place for eternal torture escapes me. I don't know that there are a lot of people I would wish eternal torture on- I mean, years of it for those who support genocide, etc., maybe, but eternity?  It bothers me.  Doesn't mean I'm right, doesn't mean I'm wrong either.

I would and do believe in God.  \n\nIf in the end I was wrong, who cares?  \n\nIf someone does not believe and then finds God is real, whoops!

YOU WON"T !            I believe in God. I believe In Jesus Christ. I believe He died on the cross for all mankind. (that includes me, you, everybody.) I don't believe in a Hell dragged out of the dark ages. Jesus said,"If I be lifted up I draw all men (mankind). The bible says Hes VICTORIOUS!!!  He won! Who did He win from?...( SATAN) What did He win? (LIFE), Satan gave us death, Jesus gave us life.  Those who believe say it is a choice, and their prideful egos think they made that choice. they need to give the credit where it belongs. TO GOD. God chose them, just as Jesus(GOD) chose 12 men out of hundreds to be His first followers. Did God choose all men to write the Gospels? NOoooo. Unfortunely most are blind and can't hear, but even God does that. So if most of mankind is supposed to burn in a fuery fire in pain and torment for eternity, then how victorious does that make our Savior?? Well I believe the savior I worship is 100% victorious. I do believe god will punish the disobediant and unbelieving, but with a fathers love. And Fathers who love thier children don"t throw them into a fire. God gave everything to his Son to have authority over, and God said that everything given to Him, He would lose nothing.Jesus has authority over all creation(all mankind included).  SORRY DEVIL!!  You Lost!  God is not narrow minded, people are.

Yes. Both exist, BUT many MANY MANY people have a misconception about what heaven and hell are.  \n\nIf you look at the literal translation from the greek of the word heaven, you will see that it means spending eternity in relationship with God.  We paint the picture of "paradise" because it's the best we can come with to describe spending eternity in relationship wtih Him.  \n\nIf you look at the literal translation from the greek of the word hell, you will see that it means eternal separation from God.  We get the imagery of burning and gnashing of teeth from the Bible which is used to paint the picture of something as bad as spending our eternity separated from God.\n\nNote in both explinations here that I used the word RELATIONSHIP. That is what Christianity is all about.  Where you spend eternity is not about works (what you do or what you don't do) it's about building relationship with Him.

No, I do not believe that heaven or hell exists.

No.  I don't want to spend eternity in HELL!\n\nFor god so loved the world, he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him shall not parish but have everlasting life.  John 3:16.\n\nThis my friend is the only way to heaven.  Right there in black and white.  In the only book that modern science and technology continue to prove to be non-fiction no matter how hard they try to make it fiction.

I don't know a lot about Bible, especially the Catholic one, but I agree believe it feels better to believe that heaven exists than not to believe. It doesn't have to be true, the important thing is that it makes you feel better. You believe God exists (or some people believe), you believe love exists, friendship, compassion, hate, anger, all these things are here only psychologically, you don't see them, you can't prove their existence, still you probably believe in them. It's nice to believe in good things.

Yes Sweety there is a Heaven and a Hell. If your soul is right with God you will go to Heaven and if its not then you go to Hell.
