Heaven, God & The Devil
I was wondering what people's views and beliefs on this subject are. I was curious to see as to whether some people believe in God & Heaven but not the Devil and just to see people's general beliefs. I would also like to know, if you do not believe in 'God', why not? ( and vice-versa)

I dont believe in the devil, heaven or hell. None of it makes since. I think I believe in god but i'm still not sure. Everything is so confusing and most of it doesnt make sense. The other day I watched this christian show and the lady said that the reason why jesus died was to show us how to die! I think that is so stupid. She said that we are suppose to die for our "brothers and sisters" or desiplicants(spelled worng). Also, I was wondering if you dont believe in god then you wont go to heaven, right? but if you dont believe in the devil either, then you wont go to hell, so where will you go. Thats another reason why this whole entire god thing sounds stupid.
Yes, I believe in God, the Devil, Heaven, and Hell. I also believe in Jesus, and that He is the only way to Heaven. It is my opinion that the people who so fervently dismiss God's existance are really just scared. Scared that if they aren't perfect they will go to hell [we can't be perfect, which is where Jesus and his forgiveness comes in] and they cope with this fear by just denying that there isn't a hell to worry about. Some are scared that they can't control their lives. We like to believe that we have complete control over our lives and the choices that face us. It scares some people to think that there might be a "superior being" that has the power to shatter that comfortable sense of control. Some are scared to believe that there's something out there with that much power. If they would lose this fear they would realize that they don't have to worry about hell at all if they accept Jesus, because he went through hell [literally] so that we don't have to, and that it is so much more comforting to know that someone who loves you and cares about you has all the power in the world to help you in those choices that face us than to have to face it alone with that control that people love so much. I can't explain everything. I don't know why there is pain and murder in the world [other than it has to do with the Devil and his work] but sometimes you just have to believe. I heard a quote once, and it puts it plainly. I leave you with this, and I hope all who read will think about it. "Faith is the capacity to trust God without being able to make sense out of everything."
God and the Devil are very real. Live you'r life the best you can, if you sin and you know you have then ask for forgiveness. If you believe in Christ and that he died for you spilled his own blood so you can have a chance to get into heaven and live eternally in paradise then you are a saved person and you should know that then God will help you through all of your troubles and protect you from harm.
Its not something I tend to think about much but having lost a young friend of only 18 recently I am forced to think about things like this.
Normally I like scientific opinion but here it states that the chances of an afterlife in any way shape or form are slim at best.
For me though saying "we are born, we live, we die" just doesnt sit right. Maybe its purely that I want to believe in something once im gone, maybe its that I dont know how to believe in not existing at all. I dont know.
I do find comfort though in believing that there may well be a heaven out there. Especially recently. I went to see my friend in her coffin and I wanted to believe that she could hear me saying all the things I didnt get to say when she was alive.
In todays world many people are religious and although I choose not to be, I have the upmost respect for those people and in many ways I envy them. For at the end of the day, whether heaven does or doesnt exist they are the ones that are going to have the lesser fear of death.
Heaven is an issue that I dont think we can ever truly suggest that it doesnt exist as at the end of the day, despite "some" meagre evidence that it doesnt exist, no one will ever know.
As for god.I dont believe in him. I didnt believe before my friends death and I certainly dont now.I cant imagine any all powerful being taking a life at such a young age unless he was a sick murderer and for those of argument against me, its not because god works in mysterious ways its because hes not there at all and her death was just a tragedy as are so many others.
The devil. Well he is just a made up character by some ancient cult or something, its the classic good versuses evil situation with him and if god doesnt exist then niether does he.
