Is there another place for hell or is just hell on earth because heaven is just that much better?

Question

I'm atheist and I just want to know what you think.

Answer 1

Hell is just a bunch of hooie! It's a place in the grown up fairy tale used to scare the masses into following the whims of the story tellers.

Answer 2

I think heaven is the ideal place, but hell as a concept might just as well be here on earth, hell just give's people an excuse not to try and create heaven on earth that what we have here is acceptable when it's really not

Answer 3

Hell is in Hell, not Earth. Hell is not a physical place, as it's in a realm similar but opposite to Heaven.

Answer 4

if HELL was on earth and we were living in hell now - then there would be absolutley NO happiness and nothing of goodness in everyday life - and then there would be no purpose to the Bible. Jesus died on the cross to pay a debt that we couldnt pay ourselves - i mean would you fancy being nailed to die on a cross for everything you ever did that was wrong. nope !! - Satan tried to torment Jesus in the desert for 40 days after he was Baptised, during the temptation Jesus Refused any of it - which is why he is pure and without sin - and it was only a person who was literally without sin who could pay the debt of every sinner in the worlds past present and future. The purpose of the dying in the cross and taking all our blame and wrongdoing meant that when we do die we dont automatically go to hell - we have the choice now - to live a life knowing that Jesus is the son of God created by him and was born of a virgin and died on the cross and rose again 3 days later and now sits at the right hand of God (meaning at the right hand of authority not literally on the Gods right hand) and knowing this will be judged in HIS favour according to our work on earth, or we choose not to believe and go about our lives unconsciously aware of greedyness and selfishness blah blah - non of us are perfect by ay means and thats why we have a choice - and by choosing God and beleiving in him is by no means an easy road but its a better path. When we die and are judged for those who chose not to know jesus - he will proclaim not ot know you and will spend eternity in the lake of fire - its says every tongue will confess I am the living God- and that includes those thrown into a literal lake of fire;

hope this answers something for you

Answer 5

Heaven and hell are concepts created by mankind. Heaven was created to give people hope and a reason for living, Hell was created to scare the living daylights out of the people that believe in heaven. You have one life, make the most of it because their is nothing after.

Answer 6

Ok, here we go. If you don't believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and His death on the cross, then when you die, your soul will go to 'hell'-a place where you will be tormented forever and ever and ever etc.
So, I don't know just WHERE hell is, but I do know this: if you refuse tp believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and accept Him as your Savior, then when you die, you will have bought a one-way ticket to hell.

Answer 7

Heaven and hell are both real places, and are both seperate from earth.

Answer 8

I don't believe in Hell. I think hell is the state of your soul, living or dead when you're unhappy and not connected with others.

Answer 9

Hell is the purifying fire with which YHVH cleans the earth, eliminating sin and sinners, that only that which is perfect remains.

Answer 10

have you seen the movie "What Dreams May Come"? It might give you some ideas on a different way to think about these issues.
