In your religion, what's Heaven and Hell meant to be?

[doug boardley]

it makes you wonder tho' doesn't it? what was the catalyst that set off a whole chain of bizarre coincidences that lead to life on earth, and are these random events scattered throughout the universe ( most deffo imo)

it is widely beleived that life began as a result of meteors hitting the earth with certain protien strings (rudimentary protiens) which multiplied and evolved into the life forms we have today. Of course it is also widley beleived that God created man in his image........

I'm catholic and do believe, i know from i was a child that's the way it's been.
There is things that have happened to people i know etc that if true show me for sure there is a god IMO.
I also know a few people with special cures... how can we explain this sort of thing? I'v seen these cures in action and i can't even explain it but works a treat.
It's healthy to keep an open mind too i think, we should all know one way or the other at some stage.

God of course........or random luck, or the tooth fairy or Big Buddha who is apparently always watching.......

im not a believer or a non believer, im just an observer

theres a lot in life I dont understand and just accept that they happen without trying to analise and explain them

There is religion and there is spiritual awareness. Different things in my opinion.... I am not very religious, but oh how the spirit moves me... and we're not talking alcohol... and it's nice to be able to be grateful to a higher power than myself.... and sometimes feel protected, too, never had any guardian angel type moments? I have...... where you spontaneously say 'thank you' to something, somebody... and when you hold your breath the will to live is so strong, you can't just keep holding it, where does that will to live come from?

The Sumerians beleived that the Gods were part of the human phsyche and were both controlled by the human mind and passed on from generation to generation. This is where the phrase "the gods of my fathers" originates. They of course were wiped out by the great flood which is probably the same one as is referred to in the bible. Noah was probably one of the few surviving Sumerians

Hell is meant to be below us, or something like that? And heaven being a place you'll meet everybody who's died before inc family? Or something. And it's above us, and white? QUOTE]

What I cant understand is if we go to heaven we are supposed to be reunited with loved ones, family etc, right?

Now if a father died while his son was just a baby, the mother died when her son was 19 and she was say 40. The son lives a longer life and passes away in his 80's. How does this work when they meet up in heaven??! Would the father look and see a baby, but in the mothers eyes he is a teenager. Or do the middle aged parents meet up with their 86 year old son.?

and assuming that space is infinite he must still be going?

Going off subject a little here but I have a theory that space or the universe and its solar systems may be like the planets themselves and round. Making it appear infinite and therefore may not be the only one but a universe within a universe of universes!:8:
