From the moment I was born I was a Methodist. I was baptized in church very young and henceforth brought up in that same church. Every Sunday my family and I get up and head to church, and I mean every Sunday.

I believe that 2 forms of the afterlife exist: Heaven and Hell. There are many reasons I believe in Heaven and Hell, the first being
Dante's The Divine Comedy - Heaven and Hell Where does a person who commits a heinous sin go? Where does a person who did legitimate things and prays all his life go? This is what distinguishes hell and heaven. Hell is to people, what school is to students, a place where souls of all morals, good or bad, were consigned after death.

The conception of Heaven and Hell is meant to provide a means of justice in the afterlife, C.S. Lewis has a different view than the traditional idea on what that may look like. In “The Great Divorce”, Lewis defends that God is just by writing about a just version of Heaven and Hell. First, I summarize a general image of the traditional Christian idea of Heaven and Hell and explain the issues that come with it. Next, I offer C.S. Lewis’s counter position on Heaven and Hell. Lastly, I assess Lewis’s
book. He doesnt have any relativism in it. He says that there is heaven and there is hell. There is good and there is evil. Lewis gives everyone who’s in this book powers, which makes it fall in to evil. Everyone who gets on the bus, which is going to heaven, must make a conscious decision, they aren’t fit to go to heaven yet.

Some believe heaven is a place where you are re-united with friends and family and live with them and God and hell a place where you are made to suffer and inflicted with pain.

Afterlife Where do souls go after death? But to actually understand that question we need to understand what does the term soul mean? Soul is the principle of life, feeling and thought and action in humans, the spiritual part of humans distinct from the physical part. Science doesn’t have an answer really for this question, this concept is based on beliefs, and each religion has different beliefs.
