Everybody's talking about it



Heaven and Hell

We don't know, we can only hope, and act as though we have an idea where we want to be. I believe Heaven and Hell exist, but I don't presume to know God's mind as to who is, or is going, where. There's a reason that God, as I believe, sent his Son to die for me. I can only follow what my faith teaches (and love above all else), and hope that, ultimately, Heaven is where I will go to meet God...

I'm not sure

Archbishop of Canterbury: Hell is being alone for ever

"The Archbishop of Canterbury has described hell as being stuck by himself for ever."
I think, then, it would have to be different for everybody. Some people I know would, I think, be happy to be stuck with their 'selfish little ego' forever. Others would find it a different sort of hell as they'd be stuck with that ego but with no one else to give them the adulation they seek. No one know the answer, least of all me...
