Both of these concepts are logical falacies, let me show you why.

Basically Heaven and Hell are supposed to be punishments for good or bad deeds.
But there is a problem: How can you determin what is good or bad?
You cant, both of these concepts depend on perspective.
Some actions that are considerd good by some cultures are at the same time considerd bad by the others and sins a god is universal (and all loving) it cant be on someones side.

It could be determind by what the person thinks he is doing.
But then the concept of justice goes flying out the window when people like Hitler go to heaven.

It could be determind by what the person efected by your actions thinks.
But then whats considerd good by some cultures may be considerd bad by the others, or the other person could just be insane.

It could be determind by a set of rigid rulles.
But then, no one would actually have acses to them and most (if not all) people would go to hell.
The 10 comandments are totally useles btw and if used on a universal scale would be desastrous.

Finaly, it could be determind by the taboos set by the curent generation.
But then the concept of justice gets thrown out the window, again.


So, thats it.
The fair and just versions of Heaven and Hell cant exist (Karma to).

Someday you will die and somehow something's going to steal your carbon
In contrast to the efforts of tiny Israel to make contributions to the world so as to better mankind, one has to ask what have those who have strived to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth done other than to create hate and bloodshed.
