We all know that there isn't a god based on no concrete evidence. Although, there are many other things that haven't been taken into account here. What if heaven is an alternate dimension where your soul lives in the after life, assuming there is one, and hell is also another alternate dimension. now assuming this theory were to be correct, which I can not prove in any sense there would have to be a god that decides where each and every soul should go. Now assuming god exists and assuming there is a ruler in Hell. Why is it that God decides where souls go, or is it merely predetermined as your fate?

Discuss.

EDIT: I'm an atheist, it's just that I was playing some doom 3 and realized that in the game there is a stage called Hell and it literally is a hell. Demons scowering about and shit and basically I got to thinking and the question struck me, "What if Hell was another dimension?" Then I just elaborated that thought here.

They would need to stuff a camel through a needle's eye first... http://www.totse.com/bbs/biggrin.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/biggrin.gif)

With a big enough blender many things are posible.

That might be a rule that lapsed after Jesus died. Otherwise most Western Christians would have no chance of getting into Heaven, having enough money for food and stuff make you comparitively rich.

If they were in separate dimensions, there would be no way for anything to get from one dimension to another. If you could move things from a location in one dimension to a location in another dimension, they wouldn't be separate dimensions anymore. You're talking quasi physics, you don't really know what you mean.

A "soul" is a term coined by people who feel the need to try and escape death. By believing you have a soul, you can convince yourself that once you die, you'll live again. Come now, people have been trying to live forever since the dawn of time. Nobody want's to face reality.

well i was born a christian and im now atheist... my point of view is that you rot and turn in to nutrients for plants http://www.totse.com/bbs/biggrin.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/biggrin.gif)
