There was a man who lived a very good life, an when he died, he met St. Peter at the Golden Gate. St. Peter said, "Mr. Jones, you've lived an exemplary life, and for that you may go to Heaven.
Mr. Jones, said, "Oh, that's WONderful, St. Peter; but, you know, I've always been curious to know what Hell is like. Would it be possible for me to take a peek before I go to heaven? St. Peter said, "Of course; step this way."
Whereupon, St. Peter led him to an elevator, he pushed the "UP" button, they stepped in, and the elevator went up, up, up; and, finally, the door opened, they stepped out into a beautiful garden with every possible kind of tree and flower.
They crossed the garden and entered a beautiful, white, building, with a tall door. They entered and there was a long, beautifully decorated salon, and at the end of the salon, as they approached, there wa a long table spread with every scruptious kind of food. And as Mr. Jones got closer, he could see that there were many people around the table, and they were very skinny, and they were crying, and as he got closer, he saw that they siff boards for arms that c/would not bend; so they could not eat.
Mr. Jones said, "I've seen enough St. Peter, please, I'm ready to go to heaven."
So, they left the building, crossed the garden, entered the elevator, St. Peter pushed the button, "UP", and the elevator went up, up, up 'til the doors opened. And, there, was the same beautiful garden and the same white building, the same tall doors, the same beautifully decorated salon, the walked to the end of the salon and there was the same heavily-laden table of every kind of food imaginable, and there were many people around the table; but, there were all fat, and laughing, and as they got closer, Mr. Jones could see that they, too, had arms of boards that would not bend; and as he got still closer, he could see that THEY WERE ALL FEEDING ONE ANOTHER.
This is the difference between heaven and hell; here, as well as in the HEREAFTER.
Let's all feed each other.

You know if you talked to the world this way they would hate you , but I really feel sorry for you . Because in a since you are in your own little hell . It's so obvious that you are tormented,when someone talks like you do it's a clear sign that they are trying there very best to torment others because they are being tormented themselves.Your envious of the people of God . You probably have tried to be a Christain and failed miserably and now you want to take it out on christains and blame them for your own weaknesses.But I'm going to love you and pray for you . God is a merciful God and just maybe you should give yourself one more try and this time really make a commitment

Hell or the holding place till the final judgment is not a laughing matter. There is no escape from this place. All you have to look forward to is the complete extinction of yourself.
When you die, you are going to immediately be translated back to the Father. You are going to stand in His Holy Presence. If you have not accepted His Son Jesus Christ, ( the only way to attain salvation ) as Lord and Saviour, you will be temporary judged to the other side of the Gulf of Paradise. Then, its up to God to punish you for your transgressions.
So go ahead and make light of the Truth. You don't even know that this very truth will set you free. A leave you with this seed of truth and its up to God to allow it to germinate if you choose His son.><>

properly, i do experience that that's pointless to declare "hell" in maximum circumstances..AND all individuals individuals do no longer do it. Its very generalizing. i'm American and we at the instant are not ALL approximately John Wayne. That became a protracted time in the past and not in this technology. we don't all holiday horses and shoot bow and arrow. that's an previous stereo form of individuals. Its sort of asserting all Brits have undesirable the teeth..no longer all Brits have undesirable the teeth.. i assume a small inhabitants does..yet no longer ALL.

I heard the beer is cheap and warm, but after 3 or 4 who cares. I could drink a hell of a lot of beer over an eternity.
I'm sorry to hear about all the Christians and Muslims though. That kinda makes me wanta go somewhere else. Listening to those jackasses and their nonstop bickering would get pretty tedious real quick.

I say why?
Why you’re so sensitive?
When i talk about who jesus is ?
If you think the bible’s just a fable
I say why?
Why not take a longer look?
& see the beating he took just
Try and save your own self if you’re able
Ask your lucky star
You may say
Everything’s ok
My karma’s good
My fortune teller’s right
The peace you have visualized
Is passing you right by

If you check in an Atlas...in Michigan, about 25 to 35 min. north of Temperance, Michigan you'll find Hell! Been there many times...It's not all that.
