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.
to me thats not rite cuz egyptians had there own version of heaven and hell so to me its more like chinese whispers and every belief has a different version of it

And you decided this when??
I'd love to agree with you, actually, no I wouldn't, for fear of sounding completely ignorant.
I'm not a good person, but I'm not a murderer, peadophile or thief, so I suppose I'm not bad. But I do know that I wouldn't stop the things I was doing just in case I was risking my place in 'Heaven'. I'd watch what I was doing in case of real consequences, like hurting people or risking myself. I live my life for now, not for where I'm going to end up.
I feel that the notion of life after death is proposterous. You are who you are because of your brain...not your "soul." I feel that once you die, you're dead....there is nothingness. Just like if you were a television set, and someone unplugged you.
The thought that I could come back as an inferior animal, insect, or even as a plant is an insult.
Besides, if you assume you come back as another person, a plant, or an animal...wouldn't that lead you to believe that you yourself were already reincarnated in a previous life.
and wouldn't that mean you lose your individuality as a person?

What about just saying sorry? If you do that, then you're not bound to hell.
not everyone belives in jesus.
i dont belive in any religion(god jesus w/e) and I dont know where ill end up when i die..no one does..it is all just speculation so people in this thread who say "good people go to heaven and bad people to hell" are complete morons.

1. I do, and thus answer with regards to that knowledge. If you disagree with me on religous matters, and don't tell me what yours are, then I cannot help you.🙄
2. They are✅. Nobody except Jesus is good 😇, and i assume that they're trying to help humanity as a whole, not just cite useless facts.
"Reincarnation isn't a part of Christianity", true, it is not generally, at least not in terms of living multiple lives, it is more an eastern concept. And I would like to believe in an after life, but I am something of a Buddhist, so I would ponder it a lot. And there is nothing wrong with believing in such a thing, humanity has been doing it since the beginning, as its natural to look for some reward to the mortal life which might have been harsh and a struggle.

1. Yes, but if you unplug your computer, the infomation you put on the web is still there.
2. Not to me. In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the reincaration sleeps tonight. What's so wrong about paying for your mistakes? That's a point, a criminal finds it an insult that he goes to prison
3. Yup
4. Nope. Your old individuality would be cleaned, and you could try and make it better.
Can I just point out that you didn't actually combat any of Link's points with a worthwhile opinion. In fact, all you really did, IMO, is state things without really finishing, if that makes sense........
For the first, I was giving a alternate idea of how we're unplugged. Mental ideas can be annoying in a debate if they dominate. Next, I disagreed with the idea that different reincarnations was unjust. He said that it was a insult, I said that if he deservered it, then it would be fair. three and four are linked. I was suggesting that you would keep your soul throughout the reincarnation, though you reaction to the world would be wiped out. Unless they had altered your soul.
