    Okay, well, I'm not a religious person at all...
    I am a human-being, I have morals, values and respect for myself and others...that's how I live my life...not by a religion that tells me to be some way so I should be...I am THAT way because it's what seems right and humane to me.
    I don't mind religion at all...I personally have friends who are Christian and Muslim and although I respect all their views and ways...I prefer no religion...my religion is called "Human" and all you gotta follow is "Treat others the way you would like to be treated"

    R. E. S. P. E. C. T.

    And another thing, why do some people think Heaven and Hell is a fact? People are soooo certain it exists...It's simply a BELIEF....

    What's you guys' take on it all????

    I agree with You.. I was brought up christian but changed my views later on in life, however I do not have anything against religion either.. and have the same policy as You and treat everybody with the same respect as I want to be treated myself.. As for Heaven and Hell.. people like to believe there is something better after we die, and maybe there is.. who knows? I think we have Heaven and Hell on earth.. Sometimes I feel like I was bad in a previous life and am already in Hell and other times it feels like I am in Heaven.

    "The doctrines of heaven and hell are doctrines concerning the afterlife. Recent theological work that denies existence beyond the grave (e.g., MacQuarrie) has sometimes included metaphorical reference to heaven and hell as aspects of one's present earthly life, wanting to retain the deep personal significance of our choices involved in talk of heaven and hell without endorsing the substantive metaphysical thesis of life after death. Though there may be a point to such metaphors, the doctrines of heaven and hell involve a commitment to the idea of an afterlife and to an eschatological significance of our present lives beyond the grave.

    The doctrines of heaven and hell play an important social function as well. Even atheists have often held that the doctrines ought to be taught, even if false, because of the motivation they provide for good behavior."
