Re: Question...

this is simply your opinion though. when you say neither place exists you can't know that for sure unless you have been dead
Here's a better way of phrasing it.
About ten minutes after death, electrical activity in the brain ceases. After that, the body is essentially a bag of meat.
There's nothing to indicate that anything else happens at all. So why should Heaven or Hell even be entertained as more than an idle musing?

what about near death experiences?
As the brain starts blinking out, it begins seeing weird things? What's so mysterious about that? Hold your breath long enough, your vision will go funny.
Actually, the most fun theory I've heard of NDEs in a while is that it's the brain suddenly remembering the birth canal. Long tunnel, white light at the end, a strange sensation that your mother is there...
Mind you, there's nothing to back that one up either. It's just a fun little notion.

Not as far as I've seen. I just posted my ideas on mind, body, and soul in the "SIN" thread, and I don't want to be that pretentious guy who posts the same thing in umptyzillion threads.
