What are your thoughts on this subject?
Personally I don't really know what to make of it. My mind can't really grasp the concept of just "nothingness", so my general conclussion is that there must be some sort of afterlife. The paradox here is that I'm a Christian, and quite familiar with the concept of Heaven, but now I've come across some less than uplifting (no pun intended=) litterature making me think that perhaps there might be a Hell in the equation to.
As a Christian I've been told that there is no Hell for the "wicked", just eternal death. But, according to Maurice Rawlings, author of Beyond death's door Hell is quite real. Anyone that has read any of his book? I think he has written a book called To hell and back too, although I haven't read it. I know that this is a subject that is impossible to to prove or disprove using scientiffic method, so in the end it all comes down to the subjective view of things. Having read his book (Lord knows why) I can't say that I'm any wiser on the subject, but my personal stand-point is still that eternal Hell makes no sense. I'm having a hard time seeing how eternal damnation would go hand-in-hand with a loving God. But that's just my stand-point.
I know that these religious discussions is better suited for other forums, but I just thought it would be interresting to hear some other (or similar) perspectives on this stuff=)
