Heaven and Hell

The existance of heaven and/or hell has been disputed between atheists and religious people for a long time. However, from my logic, i find a slightly different case.

1. Hell

Hell is supposed to be the place where you get punished for your sins through torturous ways. However, we all have the ability to adapt- it is hardwired into all of us. This would result in adapting to the constant pain and suffering depicted in hell. People would get used to the pain - like a battle hardened warrior, and hell would become much less effective. Also, after spending a long time in hell, you would result in becoming pessimistic if your not a moron. This would also make the torture less effective. If hell cant do all these things, then it cant exist.

Actually the closest thing to hell would be where people could get dissapointed continually - which in order of that to happen , something has to bring their spirits up before it comes crashing down again. This of course, is known as planet Earth today.

2. Heaven

Heaven is supposed to be where everyone can coexist happily together for very long , if not infinite amounts of time. I find that this is impossible as everyone has their own different versions of heaven and no one thing can satisfy everyone. If people have to change values , to get into heaven, then it cant possibly be a heaven worth going to.

If heaven were to exist, it would be a massive illusion where everything seems to work your way while every person is actually fake. Everyone would have their own versions of heaven to go to. We wouldnt be able to tell the difference if we're dead. If you ask me, a heaven without some real people (resulting in conflicts and becomeing not heaven) cant be any heaven i can imagine.

To summarise, there cant be a real heaven and hell, there is only this reality which is a mixture of both. It has its bad points and it has its good points. I really cant picture them separated.

(On a later note) I still must consider the opposite though (to be fair), there is much unknown about the universe, other dimensions and other things, so anything is possible, even if only in our dreams.
