Default Does anyone believe 100% there is a Heaven?

Because I believe 100% that there isn't. I mean, I know it as a fact. So is there anyone that just knows they're going to heaven when they die? Or do you a have a little doubt, and say are 99% sure? Thanks.

Really. Care to share the evidence?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not religious and I certainly doubt there is this extra-dimension locus of post-mortem consciousness, but I'm just skeptical enough of everything to doubt true believers of any kind.

Seeing Congress finally united to reign in the president's power, I'm keeping a much more open mind about a possible heaven than I ever have.

You don't need to present facts for something NOT to be true. The burden of evidence is on the proponents of the theory that there IS a heaven. Barring any such evidence, disbelief is the only sensible stance.

Atheists who claim they know something 100% really bug me.

It's interesting that physicists in the late 19th century accepted the existence of the ether and required evidence for it to not be true. Do you think they were adopting a stance that wasnt sensible?

I have much more doubt than this (99%) figure. I doubt all my beliefs and they change over time. I think it's unwise to ascribe this sort of accuracy, since looking back ten years I had a number of deeply held opinions I now believe to be wrong.

I would reserve this certainty for very few beliefs - I am not very certain about most of the "details" of my religion.
