What place do you think has a bigger population and where do you believe you will go?

I think Heaven has a larger population and I believe I will join that community later.

I think Heaven has a smaller community but I believe I will add on to that population later.

I think hell has a larger population and I believe I will be eternally damned and crammed into that population of sinners.

I think hell has a smaller population but I believe I will add on to that population of sinners.

Heaven has a greater number but I don’t know where I will end up.

Hell has a greater number but I don’t know where I will end up.

According to all the religions of the world, we are all doomed.

All the religions have the idea they are the way, the truth and the light, and none will enter the best reward but through their faith. Ergo, if we agree there are 7 major religions, and each religion states the other 6 are doomed to eternal darkness, then we are all going to the dark punishing place (s).

Then there are those of us who believe in reincarnation of whatever sort one can conceive. In that case, there is no heaven and no hell. Just coming again and dealing with karma.

So I don't know for sure. I do know I'll know someday, just not today, and I hope not tomorrow either.

Hell has a bigger population because Satan is an illusionist, he will create illusions dragging people down the wrong path getting them killed before their time, leading then to hell because they were so stuck in this illusion that they never went to christ.

We are told in at least Mattew 7 that way to death and destruction is wide and easy and many people will travel such. The way that leads to eternal life is narrow and difficult and those who find it are few.

There are varying opinions amongst the Saints in the Catholic Church on how many souls are saved and how many are damned. Some, like Thomas Aquinas, Vincent Ferrer, and Augustine, believe that vanishingly few will be saved (according to Ferrer, maybe three out of every thousand). Others however, like Francis de Sales, are a little more optimistic. Not necessarily to the point of the neo-universalism as hinted by Bishop Robert Barron, but likewise not the "massa damnata" ("damnation of the masses") as believed by the former.

As for me? I certainly hope to be saved. All I can do is live in accordance with the Catholic Faith, attend Mass, regularly examine myself and go to Confession, and do as well as I can to raise my family as such.

Neither exists, so they can't actually have any population.
