Heaven,real or not.....?
Heaven is a fairy tale invented by human imagination. And each person's fairy tale is different.
We imagine that we have "souls," fabricate the concept of "eternal life" and then fantasize a place called "heaven," complete with streets of gold, calorie-free foods, frolicking virgins and whatever else we can come up with. Christians imagine it so vividly and repeat the fantasy so often that they actually believe it to be reality.
How bizarre can the fantasies get? Fly to Cairo and take a look at the Great Pyramid. There is the pyramid itself -- still one of the largest man-made objects on earth. In addition there is the whole mummification process, the disassembled boats, the sacred artwork and so on. All of this was designed to help the pharaoh reach the afterlife. We look at it now and we all know, with absolute certainty, that it was a complete and total waste of time. The Egyptian notion of the afterlife was a fantasy.
The Christian notion of the afterlife is a fantasy in exactly the same way. Heaven is completely imaginary, just like God.

Well I personally believe that religion is far beyond human comprehension, and one will never know unless they die and come back to tell us.
Everyone knows that Early humanity came up with the idea of Gods to explain why plants grew, how the sun moved, and what gave them life. Now we know how all of these things happen.
Religion is based off of different individuals belief of how humans and all life were created, but I doubt we'll know any time soon. And just like although we PROVED evolution is real, because is clashes with Christian beliefs, Christians won't even consider it to be true, if we discovered how life began, Christians would still credit it to God because they are too stuck in their ways.
and Finally, God is the equivalent of Santa, an imaginary figure used to make people behave. If one lives a moral life, they go to heave, if a child behaves all year, they are rewarded with presents. If one lives an immoral life, they suffer eternity in hell, if a child misbehaves, they receive coal. people are taught that god always watches over them, children learn the same about Santa.
Also there is no fine line between what gets you sent to hell and what doesn't, like a man could kill and rape and hundred women but if he prays for forgiveness he goes to Heaven but say and average person who deosnt believe in God dies like this, they go to Hell.
And how can you follow a religion when every single person of that religion has completely different views on that religion.

I believe with ....all.....of my heart and soul........It won't be long till I reach heaven....Jesus will come soon.....this world is not my home I'm just passing through....eternity is ahead and I thank Jesus I don't have a problem with believing......I just don't want to be found lukewarm and he said he would spew us from him if we are when he comes for us.....I believe in the rapture when God will take his people off this earth and then comes God's wrath to those who rejected his plan of salvation....

Faith is something you choose on your own. Im a christian and i have the faith. And i feel that alot of people try to explain god using logic?? God doesn't use logic. You cannot comprehend him. His rules are not based on our own made up logic such as time and space. God doesn't have to explain himself to anybody. hints believing in the faith. I don't criticize people for not believing in god. As it is there choice to do so. Just like i wouldn't want them to criticize me for believing in a faith.
Source(s): People hundreds of years ago would of thought landing on the moon was a fantasy. Every era thinks that they have already succeeded in everything. But is simply untrue. - Sheltie LoverLv 79 years ago

I don't think you're supposed to answer your own questions.
Sort of takes away from the incentive for others to give you accurate Information, if your mind is already made up.
