i now know why people believe in heaven and god

[Brody]

some people believe in heaven for there religion


but some people for other reasons.

like a friend of mine he aint religious but he believes in heaven

the reason why is he never got to meet his mom she died in childbirth so he believes in heaven so when he dies he can see her up in heaven

i think that is a great way to think


also my brothers friend sister died yesterday of cancer aged 7 and what my m8 sed wen i told him maybe god has another calling for her which i also think is a good way to think.

i never used to believe in heaven but i think i do now just over the last few days

anyway ur views on this?

So you believe in heaven, just because you hope there is?

[Brody]

Well it must give you some comfort if you think you'll meet your mother.

[Brody]

Old fashion christians believed in Heaven and hell, But Modern chrisitians don't. They don't believe it as people have flew past the clouds into space & Haven't seen a cloud with dead people on it, And they have dug into the ground but haven't found any signs of the devil. But there is a theory about Purgatory. It is where you clean your soul of sins and can have a clear concence.

Learnt that in R.E today.

"Hope is the first step on the road to dissapointment". Humorous, but true if you think about it. Im not telling you what to believe, but you shouldnt believe in something just because you hope it's true. Im not pessimistic, but realistic. And also, other than things from religion that disclude this, whether or not you believe in heaven, doesnt change that it is or isnt there.

In my opinion, I think people believe in God,Heaven etc for comfort reasons more than anything. Like an imaginary friend who you can talk to when upset.

I do think your friend believing in heaven is kinda a nice way to think really.

[Brody]

i wasnt necessarily talking about christians just religion overall and yes i think it is a nice way to think

[HellyBelly]

I'd like to believe in heaven because it's a nicer way to think about dead people, rather than their lives just ending.
but I can't make myself believe something because I like the sound of it
