I don't believe in heaven

[Stann]

In fact, in Christianity, and so there is no heaven, these are traces of merging with "polytheism". The Judeo-Christian concept exalts the carnal and earthly world.
I believe in heaven in a figurative sense, as the idealists believed. For example, the ancient Latins believed in spirit.

Life as we know it ( or don't ) has no beginning and has no end. Death is just another illusion.

Sure it does. Remember what it was like before you were born? It will be just like that after you die.

When you're dead well you're dead, enjoy what you have

It requires your belief that Jesus Christ died for your sins.

The demons also believe, and they tremble. (James 2:19)

So the truth is a little more than that. Just "believing" isn't enough

When belief systems help you in a personal way, then it doesn't matter whether the belief is true or not. It simply works for you and that's what's important.

Demons ? Really, somebody really needs to grow up.

To be clear, crybaby...no religious goobercares about the opinion of anyone who doesn't share their religion and even their sect of tha religion. That's what religion is.

I did. Jesus said he didn't know anything about it demons, although he said human beings have have their own demons. So I can only conclude, that in the early years of the Christian church, when people weren't allowed to read the Bible themselves, much of the dogma in the Bible was redesigned to compliment the Christian Church, not Jesus.

For the record I am not an atheist. I strongly believe in GOD, the real one.

When you're dead well you're dead, enjoy what you have

Enjoy life as if there are no hardships, illness, accidents, family deaths...etc., The joy of life must be why so many famous, wealthy, healthy individuals take their own lives every day averaging 1 death by suicide every 40 seconds around the globe.

You are born......you struggle then you die. There can be no true joy void of Hope. A life without hope is a wasted life.

Real happiness brings inner peace....again there can be no inner peace void of having hope. Some pretend to have hope and establish fake objectives/goals in order to mask their mental reality.

You are born......you struggle then you die.

And boy does that beat never existing at all.

Hopes and dreams rejuvenate the soul.

Hopes and dreams rejuvenate the soul.

And sometimes they can rot the "soul", like whe someone believes this existence is evil and humans are all sinners, and the afterlife is what matters.
