Yes I have created hell often in my life by my unloving actions.
I have also had a glimpse of Heaven.
Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.
While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.
Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.
I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.
I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.
I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.
Your brother don

Yes, I've been to hell and back again a few times,
but my own personal hell couldn't be as bad as people who were in Nazi concentration camps seeing all those bodies of children and babies being thrown in a mass grave, knowing your children were killed and made into soap,
or people that live through other atrocities such as these.....
Jews who lived through this who hear Christians talk of a further 'after life' hell must want to punch them in the effing face.

Yes.
I went through 15 years as an active alcoholic and drug addict.
The addiction itself wasn't the hell - the hell was the self-loathing I felt as I veeered father and father away from my own ethics, betraying my standards, betraying the love and trust of others, denying my responsibility for my own actions, and denying AND betraying my relationship with the Divine, my purposeful separation of myself from Love.

Two years as the 2nd Assistant Manager in a barely urban corporate music store.
As a trained classical guitarist yeah that qualifies.

Everything is pure and perfect until it's touched by Man. To be human and live among humans is to belong to the kingdom of the damned.

Yeah, and like the song says ...
"If you're going through hell, keep on going, don't slow down
keep on moving ... You might get out before the devil even knows you're there"

Yes, I have been there.
There (in hell) is my boss who acts and behaves like my father.
