Hell, heaven or oblivion?

Given the option, when you kick the bucket what would be your preference?

I would definitely opt for oblivion. Hell doesn't sound too pleasant, neither does heaven. If you don't have any consciousness then you don't know if you are missing anything. I reckon I have been there done that and got the T shirt where living is concerned, my life hasn't been exactly uneventful to put it mildly, so I would be quite content to be out of it completely when I eventually fall off my twig.

Re: Hell, heaven or oblivion?

I know of no-one who has been either to Heaven or Hell who has returned to discuus what the place is like so I can not form an objective opinion.

Or

Is this subject just another one to get people arguing which is right and which is wrong?

It is a topic for debate, and has caused quite a bit of discussion when I have posed it on other forums!

I wouldn't want oblivion, I don't fancy hell so it would have to be heaven where I would hope to be reunited with my loved ones.

What is the sense of debating something which can not be proved one way or the other?

What you believe is irrelevant. Since it will happen anyway
I have my belief and it sustains me. I hope yours does.

To heaven for me, that's where all my old dogs and cats are, waiting at the bridge for me.

Re: Hell, heaven or oblivion?

Just watched a film about a man whose mother was scared of dying because she thought she would go to oblivion.

He told her that when she died she would go to her favourite place and all her friends and family would be there to greet her. The sun would always shine and she would be able to have anything she wanted even ice cream and even better she would be young again and able to dance.

I like this idea particularly about meeting old friends and family and I like to think that one day I will be young and dance again cos boy I did love to dance.

Nobody knows and nobody can say or even guess but if this makes a dying person happier then so be it for me.

It is all hypothetical, but why should that matter? Please don't feel you have to post on this thread!

There are quite a number of rellies, alive and dead who think they are going to heaven. Most of whom I wouldn't wish to meet again!
