Early Ideas: Transitional Phase

Hell is an evolving concept of man and a remnant of barbaric thinking. The closest thing to "hell" is nonexistence or the state of a malnourished soul, but the choice of continuing with life is up to the individual. If you really don't like what is in store, you can ask to be uncreated. If your life has anything of survival value (creating some form of soul growth), then surviving death is easy. Any atheist can currently survive if they are good at heart and want life everlasting, even those who are more evil can get a second chance after death if conditions are right. But if you do ignore your spiritual self during your life, there will be an uphill battle right after it.

The whole goal that everyone learns to strive for is to attain absolute perfection, to be perfect as God is perfect. It is the greatest starting goal for the evolutionary races of time and space. This takes an enormous amount of education and self-improvement. Those who don't believe in God or prefer acting selfishly on earth will struggle through the process, and will likely need to mature all over again. To the seraphim, a human regretting not listening to the small voice of God is a frequent sight, and I intend to not regret my choices in the flesh.
