What is Heaven , then? and Hell? I've heard dogmatic claims that hell is a pit of eternal torture a la Dante's Inferno, but the very existence of such a thing is at odds with a God of love and mercy; and up until September, I thought Heaven was a place that you went when you died if you were good and had faith and such.

So basically, I was an idiot. But the functions of both still escape me.
