Do you think Heaven exists?

[dirk digler]

As some of you may know or not I lost my mom 3 weeks ago and I am sort of struggling with my beliefs with this. She wanted to die so she could go to Heaven instead of getting her colon out. She definitely believed in Heaven and I honestly hope she wasn't disappointed.

My heart wants to believe in Heaven for the simple fact I want to see her again along with my grandma and sometime in the near future my dad.

My head tells me logically that there is probably no heaven and I get a little upset when people say she is in a better place because I really want to say Is she or how do you know?

So I am curious what you guys\gals believe and I am wondering outside of what the bible says has there been anything you have witnessed or experienced that lead you to believe one way or another?



Edit: I do appreciate all the kind words of support it does mean alot but I am not wanting this to be a sympathy thread so any argument for against is fine by me. There will be no offense taken. So have at it.

God can't even keep his own followers alive?

Can't he beam down some more Arks of the Covenant or was that just a one time deal?

People have always killed over political power too. It's about power not really religion.

Well that's about the worst argument you could have come up with.

I agree. Stalin Mao and Hitler represent ideology similar to religious conviction. And their ascendency is like the major religions on the backs of severe physical torture with government backing, Roman Catholic, Muslim even Buddhisms.
