Question for the religious of spoofee

[ksocia]

Not looking to start an argument or any kind of pro/con religious flame, I'm just looking for a short and simple post from those of you who believe in any kind of religion/spirituality, answering the following questions:

Do you believe...

1. In a higher power ("God" or the equivalent)
2. In a heaven? Is it a "personal" heaven or one with other people in it?
3. In a hell of some type? Is it permanent and does it have pain/torture in it?

I'm not looking for people to say what criteria gets people into their heaven/hell, just whether you believe in it.

-Thanks

***Mods: if you think this thread is too controversial, or it starts to get off topic/out of control feel free to delete it, I'll understand...

Ksocia, May I ask what your thoughts are and what brought up this topic?

 

[Heidi Kickhouse]

Hmm... Given the specific population you have selected to poll ("Question for the religious of spoofee "), I'm not sure you are going to get the controversy you anticipate.

 

[eabu]

controversy, eh? well, do you remember what jesse ventura (former wrestler turned govenor of minnesota) said about religion?

 

[Heidi Kickhouse]

wasn't he trying to quote marx? bet he wished he'd stuck with groucho.

Wasn't trying to get any controversy, just wondering what people thought (hence why the thread targeted religious, rather than everyone, and why I didn't ask for criteria to get into heaven/hell, which is usually the controversy starter)

To answer Brother Ron, my answers would be:
Maybe, but doubtful
Probably Not
No
