last week replied to question and it got removed
the question was about who created hell
my answer contained the following
1. I said hell is based on a fictional book (like it or not the bible is fictional - it was written by humans and its contents are not real facts - unless you really believe the sun goes around the earth etc.) - (yes fiction CAN contain some truth and be based around real people and real places - that dose not make it a factual book)
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fiction
2. I said god is an alien - (an alien or Extraterrestrial life form is life originating outside of the Earth. - if it created earth then it must have originated outside of the Earth).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraterrestrial_life
3. I referred to god as 'it' - (as opposed to he or she - i had already used the word god in the sentence so it was obvious what i was referring to and i do not know its sex or if it has a sex.) - (To continuosly use the same noun is bad english.)

Seems like your answers were rational to me.
But- I hope you aren't expecting those who believe in god to be rational. Faith is, by definition, the opposite of reason.

First off I will start by saying that I am a woman of faith,and I agree with you! There are many Christians who become offended when there way of thinking is challenged,however,and that may be the reason it was removed.I hope you were looking for company,as I'm pretty sure what I'm about to say will ensure that I join you in persecution from the aforementioned Christians....lol
I too look at" The Bible" as a work of fiction,and I have often likened it to the fairy tales,and nursery rhymes taught to us as children,as the stories teach us many of life's lessons,and the consequences of wrong decisions. That is not to say that I believe that everything in" The Bible" is fictional,on the contrary,"the Bible" contains many facts,as well as fables,that make it a great teaching medium for history as well as religion.
The real problem here is that even though GOD has given us freedom of thought,and choice,most Christians do not allow us these same freedoms,and often believe that our way of thinking is blasphemous,because we do not think as they do,and they also seem to conveniently forget,that while they may not agree with the thought and statements of others, it is for GOD to do the judging,not them!

God is alien to this earth, as he obviously did not originate here. Some people may have a problem with that, because it sounds like we're suggesting he's a little grey guy with huge eyes when we say alien, but in the most technical meaning of the word, you are correct.
The generic word for a person in English is alway "he". Just like in scriptures, they use "man" even when referring to men and women.
As for hell, I'm pretty sure it's in New Jersey. But I could be wrong.

Nothing, it's just like The Da Vinci Code, factorial places, fictional stories.

The problem is probably the reader was offended by the connotation of some of your word use.
"Alien" brings images of green men with big heads and "it" is usually applied to inanimate objects.
Use of the word "fictional" is just a matter of someone disagreeing with you.

When a person don't have knowledge of the bible,they will reach ANY conclusion that befits the choices that entertain them. People don't want regulations but we have them. Their federal, state and local laws which we are punished for immediately. If Jehovah God did that, people would would obey Him. He will hold everyone accountable when the time comes that He has designated. As for sex, The ONLY creation that was created female was on EARTH!!!! Angels were made in HIS image!!!! so was MAN. Women were made for man's glory.............. ONLY ON EARTH!!!! If you would, PLEASE learn the truth, instead of protesting the truth for your or someone else's ideaology. Visit your local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses for FREE info!!!! B.E.Z.!!!!

Well besides the fact that hell, as we know it, was largely conceived by the Catholic church, not too much, providing you didn't omit anything that would have gone against the community guidelines.

I got rejected for using the word "dumb", but it was not directed towards the question asker. I was told it was abusive language.
Whatever!

The religious aren't exactly known for their rational thinking. Your post must have offended one of them so they made something up to report it.
