The idea of hell is a lie that religion tells about our unconditionally loving source.

Think about it?

It assumes a God that knows everything but still creates some souls the it knows full well will end up burning forever in a lake of fire.

What sane, rational, loving God would even do something like this. Does your God enjoy causing suffering?

Don't give me that weak, lame free will argument. If God knew they were going to go to hell and suffer would it not be better to just save them the suffering and not create them in the first place. I'm not saying that I don't believe in God, because I do.

I just don't believe in an unconditionally loving God with 10 commandment conditions who gets off creating beings he knows are going to suffer for eternity.

It's just a lie Jordan.

Love and blessings Don

In the past people put too much emphasis on heaven and hell as places for reward and punishment, which already became meaningless to people today. It is hard to say now who is happier, the man in prison, the man sitting next to the king or even the king!
If God is not present in hell, how can He be conceived as omnippresent? And if He rationally be there, hell is also a happy place.
In this life, reward and punishment is conceived by each individual soul. So, Mother Teresa might be happier than Hitler right in this world, if she truly had close communion with God.
As for reward and punishment in the next life, only God knows
how that must be.
Everybody believes that the law of cause and effect exists, so no one will concurrently believe that bad people and good people have the same fate.

Hitler and Mother Teresa do have the same fate, in that they both will rise in the second resurrection. Whether they will rise to everlasting life on Earth, or to a Declaration of Judgment is up to God and what he finds in their heart. Consider Moses, who was not allowed to enter the Promise Land because of just one sin. The question is, whether it was what he did, or that he thought because of all the good he had done that he presumed that he deserved to get in.

You better hope that Hell is just the grave, because the churches teach that anyone prior to Christ went there until his sacrifice released them from sin. Just got that one from the History Channel, which is doing a program on what religions teach about Hell.

Hell as you believe it is merely a concept created to ease your mind with a belief in universal justice that will strike down your foes for you when you yourself are powerless to do so. Most of those who believe in hell will be glad to share with you just who they think will end up there: it is always the people and groups that they themselves do not like. The opposite line of thinking is also popular when we ask who will be getting into heaven. Rarely will you meet a person willing to state that they or their loved ones will not be there.

The average person is not strong enough to endure life without believing that the good will be rewarded while the bad are punished. The idea that crimes have no repurcussions unless the criminal is punished by their fellows leaves most with a hollow feeling, and might drive more than a few mad over time, for we know deep down that it is strength, power, money and so on that dictate whether you are punished for your actions, and many a criminal is rewarded for their effort while innocents are sometimes punished in their stead. Because the average person is weak, they know they have no hope to stand up to such a force, and so they need to assure themselves that even if they cannot act on it, even if their human authority figures will not act on it, the guilty will be punished.

The only hell is that which you create for yourself when you hand your divine right to self mastery over to a poorly interpretted 2,000 year old mythology book. Real justice only happens when mankind realizes that it's up to them to mete out fairly.

I'm not telling you that Hell doesn't exist..but I am telling you that the word "hell" means the grave..according to the Bible. We will all go the grave when we die.
So, whether it's someone like Hitler or someone who lived a good life, such as Mother Theresa, they will be buried in the grave. Before they are judged, God will allow a time when all will learn God's way, and follow Christ. IF, after learning exactly how God wants us to live, we refuse to obey, and go back to our old sinning ways, God will put these souls to death permanently. They will be consumed completely by fire ( the truth, according to the Bible) and it will be as if they never existed. God is not going to allow them to be tortured in an ever burning hell fire!!! Contrary to what most people believe, I know!
The punishment for NOT obeying God, once shown how to, is to not know God forever...

I don't think Hitler and Mother Teresa have the same fate. But the idea of hell makes no sense to me. I believe Hitler and Mother Teresa will get what's coming to them as part of natural law.

Blessed be. :)

I do . . and let me tell you I am the last person in the world who would want to go there. I know there are people out there who think how could a loving and compassionate God do somehting like this? Well why did a loving God give man a free will? He could either accept God and his laws or turn to evil. Is God suppose to be accepting of all the filth that is in the world out there? Is he suppose to "accept" gay and lesbians even though his teachings are against it and other evil things out in the world? Man has a choice and if he chooses God and the things that are righteous he is guaranteed eternal life in heaven. For refusing God and his law he will be sent to hell. I am telling you man has had ample warning, and he has a free will to choose what he wants to do. God has sent people and even his own Son so if you choose not to accept him then the only thing I can do is pray for you.

Lets look at what the bible tells us. God murdered billions in a Earthwide flood. He killed millions in 10 deadly plagues. God punished Adam and Eve for educating themselves. Satan on the other hand was a teacher of good and evil. He never harmed a soul (other than Job). Wow, have you read the bible? Lucifer is a kind teacher and God is a mass murderer like no one else has ever seen! So how can heaven be the good place to be? Show me the teacher if he exists and may he protect me from the murderer!!!

My gripe with hell is...what exactly is the point of it? For people to burn forever in torment?

As if! If there is a God, he is surely a lot less childish than that.

Mother Teresa and Hitler do have the same ultimate fate, however by their very deeds, they are immortal in history - how would you prefer to be remembered.....that is also fate

Hell is eternal seperation from God. There are only two places of eternal "rest" heaven or hell. The only way to heaven is through Jesus, Mother Teresa or not.
