I am a Kemetic. As far as my faith goes, our souls are comprised of many parts, one part is our ka or our heart-soul, the seat of our personality. This is the only part of our entire soul that can be destroyed. When the heart-soul is weighed against the feather of Ma'at (The symbol of truth, order and justice), if the ka has obtained clarity and enlightenment and has been purged of all isfet (evil) which is done through the 42 confessions prior to the weighing as well as how we have lived our lives, then the ka will weigh the same as the feather and we enter into the Duat, or heaven, paradise, what have you. If it fails, then the ka is eaten by Ammit and the ba (original soul or true soul) is sent back to earth, retaining some memories of all past lives, to be reincarnated and a new ka is created for it by one (or two) of the Gods and/or Goddesses.

That sounds good, but does it mean that there is no Hell in your religion, but a Purgatory, which is the profane world? And what happens to the ka eaten by Ammit?

locke317 ZiCat Also for athiest who want facts and proof before they go in a religion... Religion is about Beliefs no FACTS Exactly. That is why I see no need to believe in religion. There is not much that can be gained, in my opinion, from just pure belief. Whether my beliefs are real or not, I have no idea. What I do think is that religion, no matter what it is, gives a person a platfom to step on and something to have faith in. In other words, it'll tie them over until they die because they refuse to accept the idea of nothing afterwards. Well, it is so much more than that, but, generally speaking, that does appear to be the matter at hand. Because, if we just died, and nothing would happen afterwards, what's the point to try to live a good life? If there was no point, things could easily turn to chaos. So, it can also be a way to keep us in line. I'm not saying someone who doesn't have a religion of any sort couldn't be a perfectly sane and well-functioning person.
As for the topic at hand, I do believe in a heaven and a hell. I believe that people that go to hell are those that allow themselves to live in sin and not even feel guilt about it; this includes turning their back on Him in any way.
Just to say this now, I'm not some Bible thumper. I have accepted that there is freedom of religion, and, even though I may not agree with them, I tolerate it.
