Heaven and hell. Your thoughts on them!

[Gillamobster]

That, itself is an Ideal. Same as believing the opposite.
Saying "Prove it exists", is the same as "Prove it doesn't exist".. You can't


Should heaven or hell, existing or not, keep you from doing what is right?

Do you need a reason to do something good?
Yes, without that fear, many would do more horrible things to the world, but is fear a reason to do what is right?

What prevents you from doing murder?


Can you truly trust yourself?
Have you ever questioned your own motives for your actions?

"If you never questioned your actions, ideals, and yourself, how could you ever know what is right or wrong?"




One last thing:

"Being of either light or dark, does not dictate good or evil."

...dude... seriously? Here's something that keeps people from doing bad shit: THE POLICE. Society is constructed in such a way that bad shit gets punished and morality is spoon-fed to us.

And, by the way, it's called burden of proof. If you claim something exists, the burden of proof is on YOU to prove so, not on me to prove it doesn't. So cut the melodramatic emo crap and use some logic:

1. There is no evidence of any sort of afterlife
2. The notion of Heaven/Hell represents a very basic form of moral duality obviously necessary for societies that lacked the sort of enforcement abilities we have today
3. Societies can function without religion

I'm pretty sure in Soviet Russia and the People's Republic of China, people don't wantonly murder each other any more than they do in the good 'ol Christian USA.
