Some believe that there is a time of spiritual cleansing that takes place before your soul can enter heaven (the purgatory)

Lots of powerful images of what heaven and hell are supposed to be like. most christians do not take these literally they think that hell is the state of being away from god where as heaven is being close to god.

Some religions believe in reincarnation or rebirth means soul of the person does not go to heaven/hell but returns to the earth in another form.
