An Opinion: The Existence of Heaven And Hell

This article was written and submitted by my friend, Albert. Please coment on what he thinks about the existence of Heaven and Hell. 

--start--
Just take it simple, hell is just a dogmatic propaganda by our religious people long before we’re born… ang galing nga ng mga people noon, they have instilled to us the fear due to their well-versed "religion", and that is Christianity…

I don’t want to start up any fight but i just deemed this necessary for me to share my point of views. Its up to you guys if you will continue to be blinded… Wait can i ask something? Is anyone here knew or just care to read verses or chapters from the bible, and does anyone here knew the history of the Bible itself? Well, i knew a bit of it, but di nmn mashadu kc for a year or two ive been concentrating only in finding the truth of MY life’s existence and purpose. Also, i’m seeking for the real path towards a dynamic spiritual-life that is capable of lessening doubts and make me a True Man using my True Will without any demands or conditions.

Ive been studying Christianity and other religions, wether Fundamentalists or Paganic religions(esp. Wiccan)…Thus, my main observation is that Christianity just want us to die and believe that there is after life… and for my own opinion is not justifiable… it’s up to you to explore and see if the path you are taking is clear enough for you to believe, ‘til then you can understand why we need to live our life to the fullest…

Come to think of this:

1. When Lucifer (Satan), want to be equal with God, Lucifer was thrown away from heaven, of course, Lucifer at that instance wanted to have some followers too, right? If he wanted to have followers by collecting souls of sinners (unpure souls of man) why will he put the sinners into hell (hell being Satan’s lair) and let them be punished… He should, instead, treat the sinners kindly and nicely in such a way that he can have his nice followers, right?… The main point for this, maybe, is that just ancient people just want to contrast the characteristic of their God to someone characterizing the opposite, for them to inject fear to those who will not follow their so-called "doctrines of righteousness"…They’re just merely using some stuffs that will help them promote any ‘vague plans’ they have in mind.

2. God and Satan (logically) just wanted to have followers, and God being the creator of everything in the universe including Satan (Lucifer), should not just waste all of his creations especially the ‘humans’, just to call them sinners after the ‘humans’ die and eventually, their souls be given to Satan! And beside if God(omnipresent, omniscient, Most High, Most Powerful, etc…) is the creator of all things and lifeforms, physical and spiritual lifeforms (souls or spirits)… he could just wish for things to happen and with a snap of his hand, Satan will disappear right??? So how could someone prove that really ‘hell’ exist.

3. In the Christian perspective, if every human life have souls, then every new human being born to this world will also have soul? Right? Also, after humans die, their souls will be judge by God wether they will go to Heaven or Hell. Right? If their soul will just stay either in Heaven or Hell for eternity, then it means with each new individual born, the number of souls created all in all increased right? Is the underworld(hell) and heaven too spacious enough to contain increasing numbers of souls? With the passage in the Bible that says "only few are called to be saved" (am i right with these? ^_^), it means there are more souls in Hell than in Heaven right? Thus, Hell now is too populous already with every human dying. ^_^

4. Is it true that hell, like the media and the Christian priest have told, preached, and had educated us, is characterize by a dark ambience, barren lands, mountainous geographical setting ^^, and lots of souls are marching there? How could they knew about this? We’re in fact, the bible, didn’t describe HELL with too much specificity. Maybe, someone have gone there, according to some real-life experiences, and told us something bout it… Right? But… it’s still a vague issue for me…

5. Would anyone explain to me the issue between what is good and bad? What is moral for you and immoral to others??? And what kind of actions in regards to the modern times, are considered good or bad in the eyes of God? ^_^

"Christianity in the Mainstream"

Christianity, in general, has played a vital role in the spiritual formation of a greater proportion of human race. Christianity, which is according to the Roman Catholic teachings, was already discerned by God through St. Peter (after the "baptism scene" in the Jordan River), was just a human-organized ‘religion’ for me. Humans who at that time was just in control and using this power to pacify his own personal intentions (related to Constantine and his empire). This intentions, maybe controlling a bunch of people, to merely extend his colony and power. What is the essence for a leader originally coming from an old set of beliefs and practices, and eventually surrendering that dogmas after agreeing to start a new convention? A convention for procurring new sets of beliefs or dogmas. A personal change maybe! A change for what? Why? Maybe we should be present those days for us to guess right? *lols*

Christianity , and other fundamentalists religions as well, are really hard-to-bend ones. But if we will open-up our shells and explore, we will learn that its teachings, maybe part or the whole of them, are vague… If you do, pls open your "Bible" and examine thoroughly… there are many contradictions there!

Conclusions

With these facts here and in my mind, still, i am not convince of the idea of HeLL as well as heaven. My simple idea for this, is that after we die, our souls will go to a certain place where we are prepared for the after life or "rebirth". I still don’t have the specific idea of that after-life world. ^_^ Anyone like to comment or explain or suggest? Pls do send me an email at mad_nud@yahoo.com. Thanks for reading this nonsense!!!
