We absolutely believed in Heaven and Hell, Purgatory, and even Limbo. I mean, they were actually closer to us than Australia or Canada, that they were real places.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Christianity made us think there's one heaven.
Americans in the Civil War period were very interested in Heaven and what it might be like, because they were having to face the fact that many of their loved ones were gone and many of their loved ones, they hoped, were in this other realm called Heaven.
I have a traditional view of the afterlife... heaven, hell and judgments. But the accounts of those places are scant, and I believe it's on purpose. We aren't supposed to try to figure out the architecture of the afterlife, since the big game is here in this life.
I do believe there's a heaven. I do believe that God has given me the resilience and the survival skills to withstand the chiffon trenches.
Heaven is a state of mind, not a location, since Spirit is everywhere and in everything.
When I escaped from China and came to Hong Kong, the contrast was that China was like hell and Hong Kong like heaven. Though I was very poor, I smelled the air of freedom and was full of hope for the future. That's the way I thought heaven is.
I believe in a packed Heaven and an empty Hell.
I don't know about Heaven or Hell, but I do know that we are visited all the time by the spirits of those who affected us in life.
I know for a fact that Heaven and Hell are here on Earth.
I'm not sure I believe in the whole 'ghost-afterlife' thing, but I think places are marked by people who have been there.
