Do you believe in Heaven?
Or A Heaven?If so, is your perception of it based on.. say.. conventional Religious interpretations?
Or on more personalised.. esoteric beliefs?Is it an almost ammoral state of euphoric bliss void of anything beyond itself?
Is it more tangible and physical than that?What is it?
Do you think the very existence of a Heaven should therefore presuppose the existence of it’s opposite ..
i.e A Hell?In the absence of such right and wrong structuring, would you believe in an afterlife where good and evil operate together.. pretty much like the here and now?
Or is it all nonsense and eejitry?
Hokum designed to make our ultimate demise more acceptable?Funny what listening to a little TALKING HEADS does huh? O:)
Heaven?
Well I guess if you go burning down the house, it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. :D

Sorry, couldn’t resist!
I don’t know about a heaven. I believe there is something but not sure what.
How funny that you should ask this question Sgt…. earlier I typed out a thread asking if people believed in the Devil…… if so was there a hell and what would it be like? I was prompted to do so because of the awful things in the news right now and the pure evil of Ian Brady. I decided not to post it because it seemed a bit off the wall… weird even.
How much nicer to think about a possible heaven….my sister believes totally consequently she deals much better with death .. I have to be honest… I’m a bit like Panda I think there is much more than we can comprehend but I’m not sure what it is. Whatever it is I doubt it has much to do with the Bible although when times are tough for me I do talk to Jesus and tell him all my woes and I wear a cross… so I am a total contradiction.
I hope there is a heaven.. truly I do… if there is for me it will be in Yorkshire and animals will be there too…. and only nice things will happen there….. oh and there will be no calories…. evil little blighters they are :D
This thread reminds me of this by Chris Rea:
Yes
I believe this Based on religious and personal beliefs.No I don’t believe in Heaven and Hell, certainly not in the way that religion dictates. I view them as man-made fear-based constructs to keep people in line. As Einstein said “If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.”
I do, however, believe in an afterlife, not a void but more tangible than that. There is no right or wrong, good or evil, but beyond that my beliefs are too complex to explain here and I’m not sure it’s the right place to explain it anyway.

What do you mean jen jen, why isn’t it the right place ? isn’t that what its all about discussion exchanging views ? it’s an interesting discussion
I guess it isn’t the right place for me as my beliefs are based on personal experience that I wouldn’t be comfortable sharing on a forum like JC.
