Thinking about the very concept of such places as heaven and hell, i have been wondering about the mechanics of such a system. Never really believing in hell myself i also wondered what an afterlife would be like. On the matter of hell, Eternity seems like a REALLY long time to spend somewhere where you are "tortured daily and burn for your sins" pretty much "blah blah and all that" I'm not sure anything would condemn someones soul to something like that. I dont care how bad they've been, thats just plain evil in my opinion. The fact that death is portayed as the be-all and end-all of everything just doesn't seem right to me, I believe that we are not doomed to an eternity of hell when we die if we are bad, or that we get to spend eternity in some paridise if we be good all our lives. I always fancied the buddhist outlook on things, if you are mean in one life you are reincarnated as a pig or something. A lower entity on the chain of existence. And the opposite if you were enlightened and good.

I don't know if anything here is true but i would like peoples opinions on what they think of the concept of things like heaven, hell and reincarnation.
