Poll: So hypothetically , if heaven and hell exists , where do you think you'll be sent?

[NoOne852]

If I were to be judged by solely the ten commandments, I would be in hell with good reason. I haven't killed anyone or anything like that, but since I don't have faith, and say things like "God damn it" probably more often then I should, I'm a bit screwed. And I'm prepared for that.
However, if it is based on what I have done to help others, I think I've done a job with that so far. Sure I could've done more, but I'd probably be broke then.

 

[Pandabearparade]

But I don't think anyone can earn their way into heaven.

Other than that your preacher-man has told you this over and over, is there any justification for this particular view? This has always struck me as an opinion people can only hold if they have heard it constantly from early childhood and have never given it much thought.

 

[jamie56]

depends does it take the rules steight from the bible or judge you on basic morality

 

[MaxwellEdison]

If we're going by the Bible? Hell.
If we're going by what is just? Hell's pretty damn empty.

 

[Beautiful End]

I suppose Hell. If you believe in God, then you would be led to believe I am going straight to Hell because I don't believe in God, though I respect religion. See, I think I'm not exactly a villain, but according to religion, that fact alone means I should rot in Hell forever. Go figure.

If you think of Heaven and Hell as some sort of afterlife that has nothing to do with religion, then I don't know. I would like to shoot for Heaven, but I think I've done (And I might still be doing) some pretty rotten things.

But quoting from past posts, I think only REALLY good people go to Heaven nowadays. It just seems to hard that I doubt anyone gets a free, five-star ticket to Heaven! And if this Maker punishes people in the Bible for making a mistake ONCE in their lives, then hell, I suppose I'll never make it into Heaven either!

WARNING: I WILL get into a bit of a religious debate here. It's nothing personal, it's just my humble opinion.

See, what I don't get it how could there be a God who could punish people based on the fact that you don't believe in him? Like me, for example. The redundant irony is that I'm a good person, I think. But I don't believe in God. So that mere fact would qualify me as a sinner and if it was up to God, I would go to Hell, no questions asked. A God that creates, let's say, paraplegics just so that they can inspire thousands of people while ONE suffers doesn't seem like a fair God to me.
The Gods of Olympus make more sense to me, actually. Those Gods are nothing more than superhumans labeled as Gods but they still act like humans. They make mistakes, they're selfish at times, there's more than one god so if something's going wrong, you don't just wave your fist at the sky and curse a single deity. THIS makes more sense to me; more sense regarding all the tragedies in the world and our existence. But that's just me. I'm just saying that, according to 75% of the world, I'm going straight to Hell. It sucks, I'm not happy about it, but are you gonna do? I'm just trying to live my life the best I can.

I don't do anything that warrants hellfire. I may say some pretty heinous and dark things (I have a very dark sense of humor, ok? I was cracking Steve jobs jokes minutes after I heard he died. Bad, I know, but I don't see the point in crying when someone has died. I wouldn't want anyone being sad at my funeral. I want them to make jokes about me!!), but I don't hurt anybody. Or, at least, I try to be as kind as possible. In my younger years, yeah, I had problems, but I worked them all out. Point is, Hell just wouldn't be appropriate.

 

[Bobbity]

How are we to judge this? By the old testament, in which we're basically all screwed, the popular conception of Christianity, in which it's a free pass for everyone except Hitler and Castro, or somewhere in between?

 

[Fishdog52]

I am not a bad person, but I have done nothing deserving of heaven.

 

[crudus]

I am totally going to Hell. I going to rent a tux for the trip.

well i AM a atheist. so that will be a one way ticket to hell for me

What this guy said. We atheist are pretty much all screwed if we end up being wrong about this.

I would follow in the footsteps of Socrates if that is case.

 

[sharpshooter188]

Hell. The crappy thing is I AM a christian. I have not really been feeding myself spiritually at all as of late and have been facing many a trial. Almost to the point where it makes me want to say "fuck it all" and use that as strength. For a while I was a total asshole, but I was working out etc and to be perfectly honest. I felt great. Had the alpha mentality going. I got a lot done. I looked good, I felt good. Granted I can have that while keeping my faith but christianity sort of trains you to be happy and humble. Being humble basically means being a beta type of mentality and honestly it drives me nuts. But I have basically been neglecting my faith horrendously lately. I do need to pick up back on it and mix it with the alpha attitude again.

 

[Naeras]

Hell will be full of religious fanatics before my time. Which is a bit sad, because it's the place where the soundtrack is the least likely to involve Black Sabbath.

 

[Korihor]

Why would I want to go to heaven, none of my friends are there - Oscar Wilde

 

[RedDeadFred]

well i AM a atheist. so that will be a one way ticket to hell for me

Yup this. Pretty much guarantees that I'll have a painful afterlife if there actually was one.

 

[Yopaz]

this isn't a hypothetical question.

As for myself, were it not for the shed blood of Jesus Christ, and His subsequent rising from the grave three days later, I would be facing a one way ticket to Hell for all eternity.

Jesus came, though, He lived, and He died, in our place. He lives again - and through faith in that life that He has; the Father, who is judge over all, looks at me - a guilty criminal - and sees His Son.

Apart from Christ, though, you get what you deserve. And there's not a soul on earth that deserves anything less than condemnation. You know this is true.

It is a hypothetical question because this concerns belief and something that hasn't been proven to exist, but asks us to think of this as something that is real and is confirmed to be real and that we believe to be real.

I would go straight to hell for being an Atheist.

 

[fluffybunny937]

Hell. I'm not a good person at all once you get to know me.

 

[kebab4you]

My internet history tells me I would be going straight to hell, no question asked.

 

[Wuggy]

Hell.

In Christian dogma, whether you go to heaven or hell doesn't actually really depend on whether you've been a good or a bad person. It depends on whether you believe in the dogma. You could be the best person ever, and you'd still go to hell if you didn't believe.

So yeah, I'd go to hell.

 

[TheVioletBandit]

I believe that G-d will grant mercy on us all, and that we will all one day be together in heaven.

 

[TheVioletBandit]

If there's a hell, I bet all the cool people are there.

Yeah, the rapist, murderers, and child-molesters are sooooooooo cool, get an autograph for me.

 

[Richardplex]

Since I haven't and won't spend the 70 years of my life worshipping God, I feel an eternity of agony is the only and just punishment.
