Because God wants us to feel we have the power of eternal life. He doesn't want us to just die and leave life forever, He wants us to live a second eternal life judged by your first life.

Other contributors have said...You don't, that is nothing more than a way of controling people. If people think they are going to burn in a lake of fire for doing bad things then they probably won't do them and if they think they are going to heaven for doing good things (and following a religion's rules) then they will follow them. The idea that a God that supposedly loves you would send you to burn FOR ALL ETERNITY for something like being lazy or not beleiving in him, etc...is just rediculous. Can you imagine being burned for even one whole minute...you would probably pass out from the pain, needless to say all eternity is just rediculous.

Well, you have to consider the possibility that going to heaven or hell is not based on your actions. Plus it depends on the religion you are thinking about. If you're talking about Christianity, God DOES NOT want you to go to hell. He loves you. The problem is that when you live a sinful life and have not asked for forgiveness, it is impossible for you to enter the gates of heaven. Heaven is a sinless territory.

It's not God's decision whether you go to Heaven or Hell, it's yours.

Also I must inform you that this is a religion biased answer and I am a Christian.

Thank you.

Can you go to hell for having a piercing?

No. There were many people in the Bible that probably had piercings. God actually commanded some people to get piercings. The only thing anyone goes to hell for is because they rejected Jesus Christ as Savior and God. Disobedience to God is why people go to hell. So the only way a piercing will cause someone to go to hell is if God tells them not to get it and they do it in defiance. It would be the life of defiance, and not that single act, though.
