If so how do you invision it? Is it a place of eternal torture and fire- wheeping and gnashing of teeth and the rest? Do you consider it to be a physical place or a state of existence?
For me while I want to be a Christian I still have trouble resolving a loving and just God as also being one who also sends most of his creation to eternal torture (Christian's may use the free will argument here but you name me someone who would freely choose an eternity of torture were they certain of it happening.)
I remember some Evangelicals being somewhat outraged when Obama made this quote about his Mother that they thought 'proved' he was not a Christian.... "he was the kindest, most decent, generous person that I have ever known," Obama said, according to the Times. "I'm sure she is in heaven, even though she may not have subscribed to everything that I subscribe to."
That they would rather Obama believe she was suffering for eternity in hell than be in heaven is pretty disgraceful.
(By the way I'm sorry if this seems an insensitive topic considering the tragedy in Japan but I guess death is all around us all the time.)
