What do you think of the idea of an abrahamic religion’s hell(and heaven)?

I gave this as an answer to a question but it did not show up when I signed off so here it is:

"God/s is a psychic projection from the psyches of men and religion/s(as a relative psychic energy field/s)is thoughtformed by the psychic energies of those psyches in more/less synergy.Hell is perhaps only in the collective subconscious(i.e. the imaginal realm,at a given psychic energy field/s)level of the consciousness field and in the subconscious of those psyches(embedded in the collective subconscious and entangled)because they seem to really want it to be but that won’t bring it to an objective reality to all no matter how hard they want it to.It’s too stupid of a concept to seem believable to all the psyches in the whole consciousness field(I can seem to still have faith in some of humanity to let go of or not believe in that stupid concept)even if the collective subconscious level may seem to have it in given religious psychic energy fields from the subconscious of the relative believers…

But to tell you the truth if an abrahamic hell(for example)is objectively real,hypothetically speaking,then I’d rather go to that god’s(who seemed to have created to be worshipped through a certain religion among religions or hell it is)hell than to its heaven that does sound like a deranged eternity(too messed up and more so if eternal)…

Update:

When many Christians may seem to picture and project their hell,its really something that they can’t stop and think that they may go to the Muslim hell(that seems to have an equal chance of being true)for deifying jesus and believing that he was crucified(for their sins too)while the Muslims may enjoy the Muslim heaven that seemed to have got mostly described in terms of pleasures of the flesh…"

Update 2:

@r.wolfpaw:

I’m not saying that it will become objectively real if they believe it to be so.I’m saying something like as they subjectively believe it to be real to the extent of having it ingrained to their subconsciousnesses,

Update 3:

@r.wolfpaw contd:

...it may seem real to them with real effects on the conscious level of their minds and the imaginal realm and material world around them as they perceive it to be at least for this life time in the flesh so they may at least experience it in hallucinations and NDE’s and in the last few minutes of brain activity before total physical death...

Update 4:

This question keeps on disappearing and I keep on trying to make it reappear by changing categories...wtf yahoo?!

    A person can know many truths about God and the afterlife by reciting the rosary each day with care.

    You have a lot of false or unsubstantiated premises in there.

    You are correct to note that believing something doesn't make it so, but then you initially seem to be doing that yourself by believing that the idea of God is merely a 'psychic projection' rather than acknowledge the possibility of the biblical argument that knowledge of God is spiritually revealed, and only to some people, possibly not including yourself. You do then allow for the possibility that hell and heaven could be real, but speak of them from a place of ignorance and unexplained value judgments. No one understands what either is like at this point due to our limited context of life, so how can you know that you wouldn't like it? What is knowable, at least for some, is that God is good (really, not just in words) and knows far more than anyone on earth, and He suggests that heaven is the better place to be. So on what basis can you possibly disagree, other than from ignorance, self-delusion and/or arrogance.

    i disagree that God is a projection of mens minds. ! and while some believe one verse that says there is no hell, or an afterlife. Jesus completely owned the phrase: even if a man was dead he can still call upon his name and be saved... but of course All people must come to Judgement. (i.e. did he mean: justice?)

    Rather than worry about the philosophy of a hell, it is better to make sure that your faith will guarantee you do not end up there.

    Judaism (Jew) does not have a hell, they don't really have a heaven either. These were created after Christianity came into power and the evidence is quite strong that Christianity stole what they got from other religions.

    There are no such places as heaven or hell. Matters not If it's the christian or muslim version. If what you are suggesting were true, if enough people wish real hard for Middle Earth to be true then it will. Reality does not work like that and wishfull thinking has no magical properties.
