It’s natural for people to want things to turn out well in the end, both in life and, apparently, afterwards. Roughly seven-in-ten (72%) Americans say they believe in heaven — defined as a place “where people who have led good lives are eternally rewarded,” according to the Pew Research Center’s 2014 Religious Landscape Study.

But at the same time, 58% of U.S. adults also believe in hell — a place “where people who have led bad lives and die without being sorry are eternally punished.”

I believe there is heaven,but my belief is everyone goes there.I think hell is living with your bad deeds on Earth and you suffer for them while here,there is no escaping them while you live.People do bad things because of how their brain is wired or affected.I must say I've known a few people who most would consider very bad or evil,yet they all had something good about them.I've also met angelic, beautiful people and all have had something bad about them.We are all good and bad to different degrees.Being good and kind makes you and others around you have a nicer life and you can feel the ultimate love touch you.
