Sebastian Torres Religion 8B Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory Essay.

I believe that Heaven is a place where you aren't tempted to do anything bad and you don't have to worry about anything ever again. Heaven will be like a giant cruise where there will never be any waiting, you will be with friends and family eternally, and you can do whatever you want without temptation or evil. I believe that Hell isn't necessarily a place but a state where there is no life or God. I believe that in Hell it will be like sleeping with a nightmare, but you could never wake. In purgatory, I believe that it will be like a boat taking you to the cruise that is Heaven. The farther you are from Heaven at the point of death, the farther you will start your journey on a boat to Heaven.

In Heaven, It will be like a cruise ship. All of your friends and family will be there and you can be with them for all eternity. There will be no jealousy or resentment and you could do whatever you want without worries that it is bad or it could hurt you or others. I believe that in this "cruise" you will be able to do anything you want (that is good) whenever you want since there is no longer night or day. Also you wouldn't need food anymore, but you could eat any food you want and as much as you want without worries of health problems. You will also be in perfect physical condition so you could exercise or play sports in your leisure time.

In Purgatory, There will be no people around you. You will be on alone on a ship, on your way to the "cruise" that is Heaven. Depending on the significance of the venial sin at the moment of your death you would start your journey towards the cruise at varying distances. If you insulted someone and never apologized at the moment of your death you would be relatively close to the cruise and your journey would be short. However, if you insulted many people and never apologized you would have to travel a long way to get to the cruise. It will be a journey of self-purification.

In Hell, there will be no God. Much like how darkness is not technically "dark" but instead the absence of light, Hell is not a place that God condemns people to, but instead a place where there is no God. You would be drowning in the ocean while the people in Purgatory and Heaven would sail over you. You wouldn't have a boat or any chance of getting on the cruise or the boat. You would be with everyone else who died in a state of mortal sin and never received confession. You would be drowning over and over without any chance of salvation. It would be a very bad place to go.

I believe that Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory is on a giant ocean. Those in Heaven and in Purgatory will be on boats and live out eternity in peace and happiness. However, the people in Hell would be drowning in the ocean while the people who made it into Heaven would be on their way to eternal happiness. They would always be hungry and jealous of the people who made it into Heaven and Purgatory. I also believe that the people in Heaven, Hell, or Purgatory wouldn't have a chance of changing their state because God's judgement is perfect.
