i think heaven is a place you create for yourself on earth, you go there when you die but it is you who chooses what exist there, one man's heaven is another man's hell... people think god exist there and only there but in fact he exist everywhere, in hell too... if he didnt that would make him incomplete

They don't have to continue on the road to hell. They can believe Jesus Christ will pay for their sins by his death on the cross or they can choose not to believe like many unfortunatley do.
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Hebrews 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which ...[text shortened]... of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
He gave us the free will to choose.
My understanding is that we are all born in sin, but is there an exception to those who never got the chance to repent?

I also believe that Heaven and Hell are not absolutes. Ghosts may be unrested souls that are in neither in Heaven or Hell(Earth)

So it is an empirical fact that "the grace of God that bringeth salvation" has NOT appeared to all men.
And if all this supposed God of love has to offer... is threats of everlasting pain... then he clearly has not got the best offer. It's also an affront to human dignity.
What? God loves you but if you don't throw reason and humanity out the window then he'll let you be tortured forever?
That's psychotic.
That you would accept that and condone it is something you should question.

I have been thinking recently that in order to have free will... there must be good and evil.
If I goto heaven and cant sin then what can I do. Only worship god. Then im just a servent.
What about making a mistake and learning from it. As a kid I tripped over a cup on the floor and me and my sisters laughed. It was funny then. Actualy kinda hurt... b ...[text shortened]... ever been on religion and have a hard time believe that a god of love would send ANYONE to hell.
Don't think for one minute that heaven could possibly boring.
