Do you think the concept of HELL in religious circles is really weird and unnecessary?

Question

The idea of someone being burned and otherwise tortured FOREVER is the most sadistic thing I've ever come across. Do you buy it?

Answer 1

I agree that the concept is sadistic and no, I don't "buy" it.

Answer 2

I agree but dogmatic and antiquated platforms don't ever keep up
with good sense.I don't buy into the churches period . One hundred years from now I won't be around but the future generations will increasingly have better paradigms to live by as the accessibility of knowledge increases the fallacy of religion is always found on the decline.

Answer 3

Hell, meaning the place that people will be sent to for eternity after they die, is very sadistic. How can someone claim that their god loves you in one breath, then tell you in the next that if you don't accept this god's love, which has many conditions to it, that is where you will end up? I'm sorry, but that's not loving to me. My god and goddess love me, just because I am here. They only place one condition on me, not harm another living being. They don't say that I will wind up in eternal torment if I don't bow down to them.

Answer 4

I live in the south and its common consensus here among the local baptists that is you do not believe in hell then you will go there. for some reason just being a christian is not enough you have to believe in hell. In the church I grew up in they taught there would be a window in heaven that you could look down into hell and see the people that persecuted and made fun of you being tortured for eternity. typical fundamentalist christian belief here in the south.

Answer 5

No, I don't buy it. Supposively it is your soul that is sent to hell. How can something that has no physical form really burn in hell?? On top of that why would God want to torture his own creation?? Thats kind of stupid. But I also don't believe in heaven, I believe the Earth will never end, that we will be reincarnated over and over again, and that we are all essentially part of God.

Answer 6

YES. Most references in the Bible are symbolic, not meant to be taken literally.

Lake of Fire = The subconscious mind's area of repression, the "id"
The first resurrection = The reincarnation of advanced souls to Earth
The dead in judgment = Reincarnating souls
Hell = Remorse, self-condemnation, guilt and frustration

Answer 7

It's just a scare tactic. Anyone stupid enough to fall for gets what they deserve.There some pretty sick minds in the religious circles.

Answer 8

Between 1980 and 1990, there were over 100,000 murders that were never solved. That means, in just 10 years, 100,000 people who shot, stabbed, strangled, or bludgeoned another human being to death were NEVER brought to justice.
If there is no hell, then that means that almighty God is LESS concerned about justice than sinful humanity. These people took innocent lives and God COULDN'T CARE LESS.

That doesn't make sense. Of course God is going to see to it that those people are punished. But God isn't going to stop there, He is going to punish ALL sin. God is so holy he sees hatred as murder, and lust as adultery. The Bible says that 'all liars will have their part in the lake of fire'.

Answer 9

i don't have faith in Hell. i do no longer even have faith the evil doers bypass to Hell. i do no longer think of they make it to the sunshine of God, yet God is so Merciful that He would not even deliver them down below to a flaming pit for eternity. they only don't get into the dominion of Heaven or Nirvana or the different area... despite you call the area the place the soul is residing after dying. As for the call of Heaven or Hell i don't have faith in that the two. i've got faith on the time God created our souls we desperate then whether or no longer we believed in God and a few have been unsure. we are in Human type on a very unfavorable straightforward and that i've got faith we chosen to return right here in an earthly physique to experience for God. If we desperate that we did no longer have faith in God after He created our souls, those are the dark entities right here in the international. they're going to proceed to return to Earth because of the fact i've got faith on the grounds that they grew to become their lower back on God that they are going to continually recycle to Earth. And whilst the Earth ends they won't bypass to the dominion or ever see the sunshine of God. people who have been unsure can turn and alter right into a White Entity in the event that they p.c. to have faith in God, they're stated as gray Entities and that's the duty of the White Entities to objective to cause them to a perception that God Loves them and created them that's a hard ingredient to do in this Earth certain physique and in this unfavorable straightforward. White Entities are people who chosen to have faith in God whilst He created our souls. we are in Human type so even White entities will fall short and have character defects it would not have something to do with what their soul is... it has to do with this place we live... that's the main unfavorable place and the potential is quite thick and it hinders our Spirits, i don't have faith the dogmatic crap in the international, American Christians forget approximately that God created an entire international no longer only this usa. And God so loves all of His babies as maximum mum and dad do. only bear in ideas that God is all loving, all forgiving, all merciful, he's all and if what others have faith isn't for then you bypass away it on my own. Judging them for what they have faith isn't the wonderful attitude. Loving them in spite of that's.

Answer 10

Of course it is silly. But in the days before TV the only way to pacify your kid was to promise them a first class ticket to hell.

Real people use love, understanding, and communications to help make their children decent and productive.

Answer 11

Hell is as false as Heaven and they are both parts of a belief that is equally false. The concepts were made up by man as part of the Bible and the Bible was made up to explain what people didn't understand 2000 years ago and the Bible was created to act as a governing body over those who would choose to join the Jewish and Christian cults of those times.

It's all nonsense and, "No," I don't think the idea of Hell is needed nor do I think that the religions who tout the reality of God (or Jesus or Allah) are needed.
