    Well it was very refreshing to finally hear someone admit that.

    i think its only natural that if there isnt a hell, there certainly isnt a heaven either..............

    as he mentioned, they were created as reward and punnishment for being good/bad sheep.


    btw: i WOULD LOVE to read that article so please post it!!!

    In regards to there being no hell: I agree. Now if religion is correct in saying that heaven exists, then fine. I can't remember where I heard this, but someone once said "If people knew how great Hell was, people would die to go there." What they meant was that there are two places after life. There is Heaven where everything is perfect, you're in the eyes of God. If, however, you didn't follow the church during your life, you go to a place that is far more perfect than Earth, but it isn't heaven: this, in a sense, is Hell.

    Just my two cents. I don't know what I believe right now.
