There are not many people in paradise, but the population of hell is huge?!?!

7. Not too worried about the conventional Christian views on Hell (or Heaven).

Eternal punishment is an absurd idea. Especially when it's related to concepts of justice, love, and forgiveness which Islam and Christianity also espouse. Eternity is kind of a long time (or no time at all depending on how you look at it). From my own experience, heaven and hell have doors that swing open both ways and we can move between both places based on our circumstances, decisions and perspectives - they are psychological "places". They aren't locations that are only accessible on the other side of our death, of that I am sure.

So whatever these Christian organizations say about it, orthodoxy or not, it makes no difference to me. I cannot subscribe to their points of view. They just don't fit with my experience.
