The age-old concepts of heaven and hell are nothing more than abstract ideas thought up by human minds too long ago to date. Religion, like politics, has always been and continues to be a powerful and influential force in the world. Like politics, the fundamental need of religion is and has always been to have power and control over the masses, and not a love for God or the individual. Like politics, which will often lie to have its way, religion has done much the same to conserve its power and influence over the masses as well. It is well documented throughout history that many of the high profile religions of the world have killed and started wars in the name of God or Allah.

Everything that we know, everything that we understand about our world, our lives, God, Satan, the Devil, and heaven and hell, has been the result of human thought and not concepts originating with God. These concepts, and all other concepts that we are aware of to date, originated in the mind of man. One day in some distant future, I am confident we will prove many of these concepts wrong. There is no such thing as heaven or hell. Such concepts exist only in the mind of man. And whoever believes in such concepts does so in ignorance. And ignorance, as we know, is not a platform for reality.

It is one thing to say that spiritual texts declare the existence of heaven or hell. But it is another to prove it. It is not difficult to see beyond the veil of lies regarding the concepts of heaven and hell. In days of old, it was necessary for religious establishments to devise a way to control the masses. After all, without control of the masses religious establishments would have never had the chance to get off the ground. Utmost control of the masses was essential in the erection of religious establishments. What better way to control the masses than through the concept of fear, which by the way was also a concept born in the sphere of ancient human minds. What better way to control the masses than by telling them there is a hell they will go to if they don't attend church, or worship God, or if they sin.

What the pioneers of such erroneous concepts didn't give thought to, however, was this: That whatever God is (and yes, no one knows what God really is, not even the religious establishment), it is this God which created human beings. Not only did it create human beings, it also gave human beings, of all things, free will. And, incredibly, with this free will human beings can think and act
