Which idea do you think is harder for a person to accept, the concept that they may be bound for "Hell" after they die, or the idea that they will simply cease to exist for evermore after death?

• I think that a lot of people would actually be more disturbed to think of lossing their identity and place in the universe.
  Think about it, the idea of "Hell" goes along with that of "Heaven", but if you didn't know which you were bound for, and had no way of telling, wouldn't most people take the risk rather than oblivion? Even despite the fact that non-existance is painless.

• Mostly what I was wondering when I asked this question is whether people would be scared enough of one concept to invent the other.
  If some people, on some level they're not aware of, would actually *Rather* suffer for eternity than cease to exist and lose their ego.

• I'd rather cease to exist.....But that's just me....Something about a lifetime of pain and torment kind of turns me off, but the idea bothers me more....I know I don't make sense, but it makes it in my head...LOL
