Would you have kids if you thought there was a 50/50
chance of them "making it"
If we are a mirror of God's image, would you want to see any
human tortured for all eternity, or would you just want
to fix their wiring a bit, if you were God, and you were the
electrician

It's bitter, because it doesn't seem
"off God"
why would anyone want someone to suffer eternally?
Bitter= it just makes no sense
Nobody should want to see others go
or go themselves

I don't know if there's a hell or not I'm not dead yet. It's a 100% chance none of us will make it, we all die.
God said Satan is to far gone, maybe some peoples wiring is beyond repair.

Do I believe in Hell?
Yes.
What is Hell? Demons with pitch-forks and horns and tails? Nonsense. That’s a literary Hell according to John Milton and William Blake.
Hell according to Christ is an eternal absence from the presence of God. Which is similar to Hell in other cultures around the world. Hell is living in the darkness, rather than living in the light.
Most people are walking around in a living Hell and don’t even realize it. (Sort of like how people can walk around with bad breath or bad body odor, and not realize it. You think everything is normal and fine, because you don’t know any better). So, for people who are absent from the presence of God (including people who think they are religious or spiritual) they are in Hell, and don’t know it.
Of course it’s nearly impossible to explain to someone they are already in a living Hell, just as it’s difficult to explain to someone they have body odor. They can’t tell, so they assume you’re wrong.

No I believe in hell realms according to Buddhist teachings, which make the monotheistic versions look like a party. Eight hot hells, cold hells... and they all stem from one's own mind, not from some "created spot" by an external force for punishment.

Hell is what happens when religions or ideologies are allowed to take over the government of an entire society. If you don't believe that move to Sudan or North Korea.

Nope, don't believe in anything written in the bible.
And don't you just love how compassionate and forgiving their loving god is? Of course, if you don't believe in him, he'll burn you for all eternity. Because, you know, that's loving and compassionate.

I believe that heaven and hell are real. No, I wouldn't want to see people in hell, but I know there will be many go there. I'm thankful Jesus paid the price so we could be spared hell.

Hell is a made up place. The idea of hell came from Dante's Inferno . . . opportunistic Christian leaders incorporated the concept into their repertoir of perverse books in order to terrify the masses into bowing to them, as well as their image: aka- Jesus Christ.

You can be "sweet" and still tell the truth.
It's only bitter to you because you are afraid of going there.
