"Anybody can make a heaven of hell, or a hell out of heaven."
-Wish I knew who's quote this was. Anyone know?
I think heaven and hell are just cenceptual extremes. Do they exist? As much as you want them too. I do believe afterlife is a possibility but as far as there being a line drawn in the sand that says, good over here, bad over there...I doubt it. People are much more complex than just being good or just being evil enough for them to be put in one or the other, that's why purgatory makes a little more sense. I think much of it is made up to entertain our curiousities and fears of death though.
