~ I ID hell as being transient, so I suppose it won't remain diuturnal [permanent]. In actuality, scriptures of many Asian-originated religions such as Shintoism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and even Taoism [if I am not mistaken] do not contain the idea of Hell. So yes, I do believe that all souls will eventually attain salvation, no matter what religion they adhere to.

Hey, glad to have you back, Pat.

You don't believe in either hell or heaven so what happens when we die? Do we just die and stay on Earth? And if so wouldn't we see them?

~!!! After death, a soul of an individual has the ability to choose between two paths, one of them being the path of the Sun [Bright path], and the other being the path of the Moon [Dark Path] ~!! In a similar sense, the path of the Sun is the entry to the spiritual world ^^, and the path of the Moon is the entry back to the physical world!! One who travels along the Bright path doesn't return back to the physical world, meaning he or she has attained salvation [Nirvana/Moksha..], and the one who travels along the Dark path will return back to the physical world, serving until one realizes the meaning of their own existence and the truth; ..the cycle of birth and death; reincarnation.

So after attaining salvation, a soul will reach the Blissful abode of the Supreme Godhead, which, loosely and figuratively speaking, can be thought of as Heaven.

Note: That's just my belief, so no one needs to buy it. ^_^

Wow that means you could be bad your whole life and choose to go the right way I mean that sounds way to easy... is there some sort of test or trick?

Heh. You misunderstood, my friend. You didn't read my post carefeully. And, don't forget Karma.

A soul can transmigrate itself into the world of the Divine God only after attaining Nirvana. That's where the concept of Karma comes in. Thus, your assumptions are mere by-products of some misunderstanding [...] Just note that there are lots more concepts that I didn't mention in my previous post - I only mentioned the most basics. I just don't want to get into a full-depth discussion over many topics, since they require one to have proper knowledge about them.

So if you do to much bad you can't become a divine being? Meaning you would have to choose the dark path until you realize what you needed to know??? >_>

!!! I don't label souls as being good or bad, only their actions can be categorized as such. So, each and every single soul is divine. So, doing bad deeds only hinders one's way to salvation.

In the words of one-syllable: Yes. Nirvana - the ultimate goal. How and what does it to take to attain it? That's beyond of the scope of discussion here. Let's not side-track from the original topic.

Once again, all I said is just what I believe.
