i know what your going to say. there is no hell.
what if there's not, but what if there is? Do you realy want to find out if there is one? Once you've gone there, there's no coming back. Please believe me. I love you all. God bless.

Oh, my....I appreciate your thinking of us.
I am a Christian, so I will be in Heaven.
You sound like a very sweet little girl.
Blessings to you.
I am really sure I want to be in Heaven. See you there!

What if there's a god who lets good people into heaven and bad people into hell - except people who pretended they knew for a fact another god was real, who all get sent to hell? by believing in your god it means you go to hell. Do you really want to take that chance?
Pascal's wager:
"If god exists, it's infinitely better to believe, since you get heaven instead of hell for eternity. If he doesn't, it doesn't matter since you're dead anyway. So overall it's better to believe"
This is, of course, false.
Some of the problems with the argument:
* The implied assumption that god may exist (with a 50% probability, no less!)
* The assumption that there is an afterlife with a heaven and hell
* The assumption that the god cares about belief in him/her above all else
* The assumption that if you believe in a god, it will definitely be the same god that actually exists.
* The assumption that you lose nothing if it's false. You have lost a great deal, from time praying to a nonexistent entity (some people pray several hours a day!!!) to morality (your god may ask you to hurt other people) and much more besides.
* The assumption that people can believe in something simply because it benefits them. Would you believe goblins exist for twenty bucks? Why not?
* The assumption that any god won't see through the "believing just to get into heaven" ploy.

I don't really give two craps. What if hell is a great place? Since no one has ever returned, we wouldn't know would we? What if the reason no one has returned is because it is such a great place? I hear of those going to heaven coming back and getting reincarnated. To me, that would suggest that Heaven isn't all that great, if they want to come back here to this crap shack. So maybe Hell isn't that bad.

If you know what people are going to say, then why do you bother asking questions.
Did you know that I was going to say that I believe there are two Hells? One is in Michigan and the other is in Norway.
Did you know I was going to say that if you really (note the spelling) want people to regard your comments as interesting and intelligent, you might want to work on your use of English?

People who believe in god are just scared. There is no hell. It doesn't make sense that ppl think there is. Obviously like you said you'd have to die to find out. So who the hell died and came back to tell us about hell?

Realy shore? Whatever that means. I am really sure that there is no such thing as hell, or heaven for that matter. Therefore your lame attempts at more christian fear mongering are wasted.

There's a hell, but opinions differ on what Hell is; whether its eternal punishment or rather eternal separation from God

And if your wrong about the bible and salvation because you can't tell the difference between thoughts inspired by the unholy spirit and The Holy Spirit? You will not be safe either.

Honey, if the kingdom of heaven is WITHIN, why would you think hell was a place out there? Hell is WITHIN and we create it by what we believe that makes us suffer. Don't take the bible so literal, after all it is about spirit, the unseen.

why do you insist on these kind of questions...what if there is??? so the answer is the same as: what if there is not? since i dont know for sure i dont want to waste my life believing something that doesnt convince me at all and doesnt make myself a better person.
