Is Heaven and Hell real? Yes because both are a state of mind.

It's accurate so far as it goes to say that heaven and hell might be descriptors for real states of mind. But heaven and hell as actual places are, of course, not real.

No. States of mind, and feelings, are not proof of anything other than themselves.

This is why suppressing/prosecuting/restricting any speech because someone might FEEL offended/insulted,... is profoundly dangerous.

Creating blasphemy laws is one such evil. This is one of the fundamental ways Islam is threatening our way of life. Be afraid.

Ask any Irish person and they'll tell you that blasphemy laws are not limited to Islam by any means. They are just in the middle of finally repealing them in Ireland.

Even when they are not laws on the books, the accusation gets leveled. I've heard people say "that's blasphemy" to anything that questions religious dogma.

@mordant I agree. But the current crop of blasphemy laws are being instituted in the EU, and in the UK.
A women recently was convicted in the EU, and supported by the supreme court, of offending mohammad. This is also happening in canada with the human rights tribunal.

The laws in ireland are have and are being repealed.

We are in heaven all the time everywhere, but often don’t appreciate that fact. Through untrue judgmental thoughts we can make ourselves miserable. Heaven and hell are not opposites.

The World is what we make it. We have the knowledge to turn it into Heaven, or Hell. Unfortunately, Humans tend more towards the latter.

A "real" definition of how your useage is meant, would allow better answers....as in "real" something that can be touched, proven......
