The myth of hell is an absurdity that makes Easter Bunny believers look like Rhodes Scholars.
Support for Easter Bunny:
1. Bunney's do exist
2. Kids do often get gifts during Easter that they cant explain the origin of.
Support for Hell
1. Zip - Demons, Devils, Genies, Ghouls and Goblins dont f***ing exist.
People who believe in the Easter Bunny believe that a very intelligent Bunny gives gifts to kids that it has some knowledge about.
While absurd, this absurdity looks like flawelsss logic compared to the stupid stupid stupid belief that Satan exists and is slow-roasting humans for all eternity, the most horrific and unjust possible conception that is described as "justice from God".
People who believe this stupidity honestly shouldnt ever be teaching. No joke, no exagerration here. I realize this sentiment is not likely to be law in my lifetime, but as is often the case, the herd rambles blindly in this respect.

You shouldn't be allowed to write because you can't spell.
I love it when people call others stupid before they even proof read.

And how are you so sure that hell doesn't exist? Have you ever been dead? Known anyone else who was, who came back?
I DO believe hell exists, and for a very good reason. However, every time I mention it on here people either:
A) Don't believe me.
or
B) Thumbs down my answer because they don't WANT to believe me.
I've experienced hell. It isn't a lake of fire, but it IS pretty terrible. My mom and I BOTH saw it at the same time, the same night...the night one of my aunts died. Before we knew that she had died.
If I was a teacher, I wouldn't talk about that kind of stuff at school. It has no place there. Religion belongs only at home.
So why shouldn't a person who believes in hell be allowed to teach? Because you don't agree with them?

You are right. People who believe in punishment for wrongdoing should not teach our kids. I mean to tell them that their actions effect their future and the idea that there is punishment waiting for those that do wrong. That is bound to put a real damper on the condom pass out during 6th period. Imagine how "damaging" it could be for kids to hear that right and wrong are not determined by their feelings. Next thing you know some religious nut will tell them that the world revolves around the sun and not them. Your right. better to have someone with no hangups about "punishment" and "rewards" instructing our youth. No need for burdening them with arcane morals.

the 'absurdity' to which you refer rises to the level of rocket science in comparison to your premise about whether people with beliefs YOU disagree with should be 'allowed' to teach...exactly what are your qualifications, background, and experience which would enable you to determine whether anyone else should be allowed to teach? i'm guessing that english is NOT among them...my wife, a dedicated born-again Christian, has been teaching mathematics, technology, business, and computer science for the past 25 years, and NOT ONCE has the topic of religion come up in class...

Since you apparently accept the idea that one is free to reject the Word of God, it is fairly absurd to insist that there would not be a place reserved for those who do so. If there is no hell, earthly life is meaningless. If every created human being will eventually end up in heaven, then what possible meaning could there be for these few years of hardship we have to endure first?? If we will definitely spend eternity in heaven, why doesn't God just create us there? Does He enjoy watching people suffer? But perhaps you consider the fact of heaven just as "absurd" as the fact of hell.

I agree that people shouldn't be allowed to teach that. It's doctrine though, and doctrine changes slowly... sorry to say. I think that by the time kids get older though, most of them realize this is a fallacy of Christianity and adjust their beliefs accordingly.

maybe they could be allowed to teach PE or cooking, something easy, you know, not like real teachers.
