The way its used in the religious connotation is "the big pay off for being obedient all these years".

If I could imagine any idea of what heaven could be, I think it exists in death itself: freedom. Absolute emancipation from the chains of physical reality. The freedom to let whatever energy you accept as your "soul" explore the realms of the cosmos without being hindered or limited.

It might go something like that, if we're talking postmortem.

Its all crap...

Good heaven? bad hell?

Hmmm..

Heaven?

If you do good you get rewarded
If you eat all your dinner you get dessert

Hell

If you do bad you get in trouble
If you dont eat all your dinner you dont get dessert.

Just shows you how man made this crap is and all it does is keeps you doing what is thought to be right/good. Every person is an individual and has there own preception of good and bad is.

to answer the original OP....Christanity is as real as the person that believes in it. If you don't believe in it. You see all of the loop holes in the bible and the things they say. If you are a believe....you turn to blind ignorance and you don't question things that are contradictions all throughout the bible. You just accept it as is.

which is almost an insult to that persons creator... if God created us in his own image, he obviously was responsible for our thought process. It's like your boss giving you certain tools to get a job done and you decide not to use one of the most important ones, then say "check it out, you like?" and he's like... "WTF!!! I gave you what you needed to get this done... why does it look like crap?!!!"

wrong.

christianity is a real, undeniable part of society that has influenced nearly everything it has come into contact with. the supernatural elements of christianity and the bible and jesus and god aren't real, but christianity is a very real problem that affects us everyday.

why would you take what I said as an insult? the person's creator gave them free will to believe in their God or not. To choose whether they want to follow his teachings or not. what's so wrong about that?
