Ok, my 16 year old cousin has a friend that doesn't believe in God and she decided to be all dramatic and tell him he was going to go to hell and he says he knows. And when she was telling me more about what he said, apparently he doesn't believe in God but he believes in Hell. How can this be? Thanks for the answers!

16 year olds often make no sense. It's part of their charm.

From my understanding, he did not understand what he became. He wasn't an atheist or a pantheist, because he stated he wasn't. He certainly couldn't understand a commencing to a God (from Jewish beliefs, God has no beginning, so he couldn't position self belief in that God), yet he couldn't also understand the order he observed contained in the universe with out a God being latest. yet he truthfully became not a Christian. i imagine, given the Holocaust, he would were indignant on the conception. i imagine the Snopes answer even with the undeniable fact that probably has something to do with it. clone of human beings trust that blinking your headlights receives you killed, human beings have a tendency to get emails affirming Einstein did this or became that and take it as gospel. :P "In view of such cohesion contained in the cosmos which I, with my constrained human ideas, am in a position to understand, there are yet those who say there is not any God. yet what extremely makes me indignant is they quote me for the help of such perspectives." "i'm not an atheist and that i don't believe of i am going to call myself a pantheist. we are contained in the region of a touch newborn getting into an excellent library packed with books in a lot of languages. the newborn knows someone must have written those books. It does not understand how. It does not understand the languages in which they're written. the newborn dimly suspects a mysterious order contained in the arrangements of the books, yet would not understand what it really is. That, it type of feels to me, is the attitude of even the most smart individual in the direction of God." upload: purely to say it, if Einstein stated "i'm not a pantheist" it really is what he stated, even with if what he also stated seems to lean in that direction, you could not say "he became a pantheist." He stated he wasn't, and... this is purely the way it really is.

I don't get that either. I'm not too sure about the origins of hell but I do know that it wouldn't be there if it weren't for Satan. And Lucifer was created by God. Thus meaning that without God hell wouldn't exist. It doesn't mean that God likes hell though.

Maybe the friend was just trying to get your cousin to shut the hell up about it, already....

He's 16 years old. I think he is being "dramatic".

Some people are just confused, or they don't realize how bad and how permanent hell is.
He probably meant he didn't want to be saved and he didn't care.

Guilt is a wonderful thing, and so hard to leave behind.
