But to really have an objective outlook on this topic is hard to do. One one side you have the people that do not believe in any type of God or Supreme Being... on the other side there are the people that beieve in a god but a god of their own religious making.
ZAnwar, you say as to the way that you have been raised and taught, that the sect that you are a part of is the one to go to heaven (if there is such a place). What about those that are a part of the other sects??? Arn't they going to say the same thing... that they are the ones to go the heaven???
Plus all mass Religion has their fanatical following, the ones that are so self richious about the Religion they practice that anyone else is a heithin or evil or a demonic worshiper. And yes there are some that their Religion is the worshop of the Devil/Satan/The Evil One, etc... They, the fanatics will destroy, persecute and kill others in the name of their religious beliefs. No Religion... NOT ONE depicts the killing of another human being because of them not believing. All religions depict harmony, love of one another, peace and understanding, living in tranquillity, being kind to each other, sharing, and so on. So how is it that those people... those fanatics can say that they are the chosen few to enter into heaven. Kinda doesn't make sence, especially if their religious writing that they follow so well does not say that. Religion is all intepetation and it is interpeted by Humans. And we all know that we all make mistakes and that we alway see thing to our on advantage. So is the way religion is followed by all these different people being followed correctly??? Again, it is all interpetation. The Religious Leaders are the ones that create policy for it to be followed. But they are Human, not God like or anything else... Some would now argue that this is not true that they are above all the rest. But they are Human with all the weaknessess of being a Human. NO ONE IS PERFECT... NO ONE.
Now, who's to say the Heaven and Hell are not here... Meaning that this world, our lives as we live them are Heaven and Hell respectively. The way you live your life is your own Heaven or Hell. Hmmmmmm... Interesting isn't it. And then when you die that's it, party's over, check out time. Or that maybe we do have a soul, an entity within each and every one of us that at the point of death/dieing it is then recycled into another newly born person... The ultimate in recycling.
In all religions of any kind they always speak of a Heaven and a Hell, in one form or another. Heaven is bliss and Hell is suffering and pain. Our lives are sometimes bliss and sometimes sufferiong and pain.
Soooooo???
Don't you ever wonder, why we are here? It is because it is a test, the people on the right path will go to heaven and the people on the wrong path will go to hell. Suffering is what you have here is so you can really feel it in hell, people who do bad things of course suffer, people who do good things of course get a reward. Who do you think has a better chance of going to heaven, a rich man who never prayed in his life, or a poverty ridden man who prayed every day. Of course it is the poor man, it doesn't matter how good your status, what matters is with what intentions you lived life!!!!!!!
