If there is a heaven or hell where do you think you will go? And why?

If there is a heaven or hell where do you think you will go? And why?

 

[vanillamilkshakes]

If there is a hell (the Christian one) I think I would go to hell, as suicide is pretty much a direct ticket in the bible. But, since God is said to be all-forgiving, I guess you can never be sure

 

[-nobodyknows-]

I want to be forgiven, and go to heaven, but looking at myself, and comparing myself to others around me… I just don't see it happening. But I will try to have faith in God.

 

[butimbleeding]

I've brought too much pain onto others to make it in to heaven. If I would have died when I was younger maybe I could have. I used to be a sweetheart before mental illness and addiction told the reins.

 

[SomewhereAlongThe]

Hell because I literally hate God, because I find he is unjust and unloving.

There's a perfect being above me, watching over me, and yet I'm made to be inferior to my peers, and I'm born with autism which is pretty shitty and not fun. It's very loving and perfect of God to do this to me.

So he'd probably throw me in hell because that's how he is.

 

[lilah]

if we're talking about abrahamic heaven and hell then i'd go to hell sadly.

but to me, heaven = oneness/nothingness (same thing). non-existance is heaven.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

If it's the heaven/hell as depicted in religions, I'd be going to hell because god is a psychopath that conveniently has human like traits where he wants to be worshipped and I refuse to (voluntarily) worship him because I think the concept of a god is fiction

The Bible doesn't actually teach going to heaven. It teaches a physical resurrection on a restored new earth. Basically a restoration of the garden of Eden where there is no pain, decay, sorrow, sin or death. Also, "hell" is not the caricature of demons torturing souls alive for eternity, but rather that the unsaved will die a second time and then be gone/annihilated.

That said, I know I will rise again to life eternal in paradise the new earth because I am saved by faith alone. To be saved one only has to stop trusting in their own works and trust in Christ as savior that he died for our sins, was buried and rose again. At that moment you are saved.

1 Corinthians 15:3-4: "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"

Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."

All of us humans are sinners. Nobody is forgiven by being good because we are all messed up to the core. But that's why Jesus Christ came specifically to die for our sins to forgive, was buried and rose again. We just have to receive Christ's atonement by faith alone to get eternal life.

1 Corinthians 15:3-4: "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"

Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."

 

[Tuonetar_]

Being a lazy asshole for your entire life is not considered good in any religion, so I picked hell.

 

[avalon_]

Neither. To quote David Bowie:

I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh

 

[Forever Sleep]

If I haven't already done enough to piss God off, I'm sure they'll send me to hell after I tell them what I think about their management skills.

 

[dembe]

If im going based on christian, hell, i do gay stuff sometimes, and yes i believe in jesus but i dont do enough about it i think in the eyes of the lord.

 

[CatLvr]

Definitely hell. I am a horrible person. I stopped turning the other cheek years ago and I WILL fuck you up one way or another if you cross me now. Kinda became the only way I could survive.

 

[ThisIsMe1357]

If access to the two was based purely on your life, on logic, arguments and reason, then I do not think I would go to Hell since I have not done anything horrible to deserve that.

If the two places were based on Christianity, then I would definitely go to Hell purely based on the fact that I do not believe in the existence of a Christian God. :D

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Well as I've said before I actually think the final version of heaven from the end of The Good Place is actually the best potential afterlife. If God exists and he really is as all-knowing and all-loving as he purports to be then there is absolutely no reason for him to not do things exactly the way they have it at the end of the show.

This means that technically, everyone gets to go to heaven. Yes, even Hitler and Henry Kissinger and Harvey Weinstein. The caveat is that every single soul that has ever lived and ever will live must be put through tests multiple times for as many eternities as it takes until they finally become the best possible version of themselves worthy of heaven. No matter how evil or corrupt someone truly is, no amount of misdeeds actually deserves eternal suffering. This is the problem with hell which is that the punishment simply does not fit the crime. No single human is capable of causing eternal suffering so why should that be their punishment? It's a tough pill to swallow but it's one that has to be accepted. Even if it takes the equivalent of a million billion years for someone to finally fully atone for their sins, then at long last heaven will be within their reach. Every single human has the capacity for change and growth, sometimes they just need to not exist in the realm of the living with how horrible nature is.

Now for those who don't even like Heaven there's still good news, once you get in you get to stay there as long as you want but also at any moment you are perfectly free to end your existence forever in a completely peaceful way that's as simple as walking through a door. You're also allowed to spend as many eternities as you want experiencing anything you possibly could want before you go so why not relax a bit?

Now under these rules then yea I believe I get into Heaven. I'm sure it might take me thousands of lifetimes to get good but just having that chance is enough for me I assume.

Under the traditional doctrines though I guess I'm going to hell, no question about it. Sucks to suck though.

 

[coffeebeany]

I don't know and I don't subscribe to and religious belief system. I don't mean to disrespect anyone who does, just to be clear. Personally I don't think humans are able to understand the complexity of the world, life or death. To me it's absurd and arrogant that we think we, as a species, have it figured out or it was revealed to us. So who knows what will happen after death. Who knows how the universe came to be, what was before or what will be after. I don't think we ll ever know. If we will, I ll stand corrected.

 

[ZeroM24]

Both sides would reject me.

 

[sick.faery]

probably hell or purgatory. no heaven for me.
i'm a very flawed person

 

[PI3.14]

Heaven, I'm a good guy but still...God can suck my d%ck lol

 

[Praestat_Mori]

Heaven

If life on earth is already hell then what can be worse after we die?

 

[Hvergelmir]

I fail to acknowledge any one true god. I respect historical sites and pagan idols. I have little respect for gods name. I work whenever I like, not necessarily six days a week, and sometimes Sundays. I also don't honor my parents very much.

That's all in direct violation of the first five commandments. Any one of those violations supposedly makes me an irredeemable sinner, deserving of eternal pain and suffering.

If I had a say in the matter, I think I'm better off taking my chances with hell, hoping that the denizens there are more open minded.

 

[mangotango0249]

Probably hell because I've commited too many sins. But as others have stated above, what the hell, Go'd is clearly a sadistic fucker that can't help but eternally torture those who didn't worship him even though he literally created to be tortured and suffer in this life lol. what a joke tbh. I kinda believe in high beings, but God who is all knowing, all powerful? I think not. If God exists, does God know how he came to be? did something create God or is God gonna say "Well. there was this big bang in empty nothingness then I became sentient." Nah fuck that, shit is so fucking stupid we are just biological being came to be conscious. I hope that once i die i will just disintegrate and become part of the universe again in billions of pieces of atoms. thats all.
