You might think that most people believe in Heaven or Hell based on stories they’ve heard. For Christians, the Book of Revelation defines Heaven as a paradise of golden streets and pearly gates, accessible only through a belief in Jesus. In the Islamic tradition, access to Heaven is granted based on whether one’s good works outweigh the bad. In Buddhism, Heaven is slightly different — it is Nirvana that one strives for, the extinguishing of one’s “flame of desire,” the root human suffering. In Hinduism and other Eastern religious, it is likewise a release from suffering and illusion that leads to a sort of heavenly fulfillment.
God created each person with freewill and it's a person choice to believe. God's Word says, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to the Father but by Me." ~Jesus Christ. Jesus was born of a virgin, fully God/fully Human, and gave His life in place of ours so we would not have to die, and rose again after 3 days.
I believe in God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. I believe in the Bible & people will argue the validity of God's Word, but believing ultimately comes down to faith. I believe that there is perhaps an afterlife as an animal or other human. I think that heaven and hell exist in real life.

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Heaven and hell are a matter of personal faith and I would urge you to do your own research by reading the book of John located in the Bible and judge for yourself.Belief requires faith, and faith requires using a more earnest portion of the self; one that is beyond the grey matter within our skulls.
Whether those places exist or not, it doesn't matter. We need to think about today, not tomorrow because if we don't, we won't recognize the good parts of the present.
Live life to the fullest, or in words, "We got to live like we're dying."
Asserting the rationality of mental logic and reason does not exclude the potential for human spirituality. In answering questions of eternal magnitude, using one's brain in the place of one's heart is much like trying to hammer a nail with a crescent wrench -- you may initially think it's getting the job done, but isn't there a better answer?
All this to say that yes, heaven and hell (as described biblical) are very real to me personally. To each their own, as the old saying goes.
Whether you believe or not that there is heaven and hell. Always remember that there is someone who is always there beside you to guide and help you to your problems. Talking to him through praying is most powerful armor that you can have to be strong in all problems that you may encounter.
"TO GOD BE THE GLORY!"
