    When I was saved, the Holy Spirit bared witness with my spirit so I could KNOW I was a child of God. Therefore, In in my personal experience I know Im going to heaven. If I'm going to heaven, I also know people will be going to hell.

    Neither.

    There is no evidence of any "heaven" or "hell," nor of anything of any person that survives their physical death to go to any such place.

    Yes, yes, I know you desperately *wish* there to be a magical place you go to, and that you don't really die. Oh, well, there isn't. Deal with it.

    Absence of evidence is evidence of absence.

    If at some point after you die, you exist outside of time and space with God.....then you also exist outside of time and space now. If you...at some point in your existence are no longer trapped by space or time, then you are never....in your existence trapped by space or time. If that is the truth, why not have the future you that is already living with God come and say hello to the current you? Can't do it? Didn't think so.

    Conclusion: there is no afterlife where we exist outside of time and space.

    Atheists believe in neither heaven nor hell.

    I think of it in terms of positive ="Good", negative ="Evil", since all life on earth produces a small electrical charge. Also, the fact that our bodies lose weight when we die leads me to think, could that small electrical charge be the "soul"?

    So, we know that when we die, SOMETHING leaves the body.

    Where does it go?

    Well, where do positive and negative electrons go when they've been used up?

    I don't know.

    Perhaps absorbed into the earth, then distributed back as NEW LIFE?

    You can extrapolate from there.

    You assume that which is offered by only some of the gods mankind has created is the only options. You do realize that "your" particular god was not the first to offer these choices to mankind are you not.

    Besides a booby trap question.

    There can never be any "personal experience" or "research" ANYONE can do to prove or disprove it, period.
