I have been told by believers about some vague descriptions of Heaven and Hell, and that they are working very, very hard to get into one and to stay out of the other.
However, as an unbeliever I have been asked many, many times, "Since you are not a believer, what do you think happens when we die?"
The question rarely gets turned around upon the believers. In general, they answer something about "reward", "bliss", "Heaven", "hell", "punishment", or something along those lines, but rarely do any specifics get mentioned or discussed.
I am curious what conceptions of heaven and hell believers have, and what are the rationales they use to justify their idea of what heaven and hell are like.
I think this should go into Faith and Belief.
