In my opinion. When you die, you die. Nothing special. Eventually you decompose, and your corporeal form disapears. I do not believe in a heaven or hell, I'm not that optimistic about the afterlife. I dont believe in an afterlife, you simply die, there is no 'black void', or 'white tunnel' or whatever, you just die.

Yeah this was my old opinion on death before I found religion. Really in my opinion, religion has opened new pathways in my life. Even if I live under this false lie for the rest of my life, I know I am going to die under a false impression that I will be moving on to better things. I think it is better to live this kind of way instead of dying knowing there is nothing for you when you die. I am pretty sure I am correct that I will go to heaven or hell when I die, but it is better to know that then know I will just simply cease to exist.
I find it terrible that God loves some of his children more than the others, and condemns many of them to an eternity in hell. Wouldn't a good parent punish them for a while in the purgatory, and then forgive them?
"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

I thought I read something about hell origionally being a place apart from heaven, where the only punishment was that you could never be with God because you had sinned so much and not repented. Then all the people in hell decided to punish themselves, because they had had so many chances to fix the error of their ways. Kind of like when you hit yourself for doing something stupid, but for all eternity.

No, he doesn't love some of his children more than others. But he hates sin, and some of his children arn't covered by the blood of Jesus, and sin cannot get into heaven.
This is my indictment of your beliefs
This is my indictment of what you hold dear
My eyes have seen the horrors that you
Commit in the name of your god
Your god is violence your god is unholy

I think that is more positive than you think. The Epicurean view states that we are atoms, and when we die we go back to atoms, we are not sensitive in death, therefore we can feel no pain in death, therefore death is bliss because you want nothing, because you are dead.
Not my views but interesting none the less.

No matter how good you are, you sin. And God finds sin disgusting, and without the blood of Jesus to wash away your sins you will go to hell, because God cannot live with sin.
Spare me the preaching

Ok so I can go grab an AK-47 and several pipe bombs and go on a spree, but as long as I accept Christ im good to go? Vice Versa, I could sell everything I had, constantly donate all my money while using some to buy food for the poor, give blood, recycle, never hurt a thing, but because I dont accept christ, im goin to hell?
Thats F.U.B.A.R

Have you ever read the last two books of the Ender's Game series? They have some stuff in there that sounds alot like that, and it makes sense, if you think about it.
