Also, you Theist's/agnostics what do you think heaven and hell is and why? And finally, you atheists, what do you think about this approach to heaven and hell? Do you hate it, is it nice but obviously false because God isn't real, or something else?
I don't know how I'd feel if God were real, but it wouldn't really be up to me. Feelings are not a matter of choice. As for whether I like this approach to heaven and hell, I'm generally indifferent to obvious fantasies, but as obvious fantasies go, I suppose it's better than fire and brimstone.
