I'm afraid that Hell is largely invented as a means of intimidation. Whilst a higher power is plausible enough, the existence of Hell must be very dubious.
I also heard a few lectures at uni from professors who consider Hell(as ppl know it now) to be an idea made up by the catholic church at the start of the middle ages, for obvious reasons.

I believe in life after death. I believe a heaven and a hell exist. Even so if you are not religous. As a crude breakdown from einstiens studies. Energy is constant,ever changing and cannot be destryoed.

I support re-incarnation. It seems to make the most sense from all the theories ive heard. But there is no where near enough evidence to back any theory really.
I don't know if there is a life after death, but even if there is our lives are still 'meaningless' in a sense. Whether we die and disappear into nothingness or spend all eternity floating around in heaven/hell we really have no purpose in existence other than what we make ourselves. We exist, only to exist either way. Hope that's not too confusing but I seem to get it. I used to like the idea of reincarnation too vvvrulz, but as you say, it's just wishful thinking without evidence. I think that the best way to live, is to just live life as it presents itself. If all you do in this life is prepare for another life then you aren't really living in a sense. At least that's what I think at the moment. Live this life as if there is no afterlife. That doesn't mean rape someone, rob a bank, take drugs and go out in a blaze of glory. Just enjoy the life you have rather than focusing on a life you hope for.

^I agree, you should live life to its fullest. But reincarnation wouldnt make this life meaningless, this life could determine what you become in your next life. But then again thats just another theory.
Yes. But even if reincarnation is true, your life is still meaningless. Your life now is only a stepping stone to your next, then the next, then the next and so on. It's kind of confusing. But who says your life has to have some grand universal purpose to simply enjoy it?

u live until u reach perfection within the soul, and if u have a life, and do not reach perfect and purity, u go back and live life once again until u do, after death u go to the otherside and prepare for your next life, studying it and the friends u have in life right now, u agreed with them in the otherside to be friends with them, and like daja vous, its a reminder of the otherside when u planed it to happen, thats why u remember it, i was told its like a reminder, a kinda pat on the back to say that life is going how it should for ya , so if u get daja vous alot, then your doing alot and remembering what u prepared in the otherside, (otherside being heaven if u will, a place where u go after death)
