Even though I'm a devout Catholic, I sometimes wonder, could we be living in hell right now and heaven is after we die? With all the suffering going on in the world today, can it be any worse after we die or will we live in paradise?

I'm not doubting their is a hell. It's just a thought that I dwell over ever now and then.
Brian......Don't be sorry for me because I'm a Catholic. Catholics are Christians! I'll pray for you that you're not so narrow-minded.

This is not hell, at all. God created hell as a place to hold Lucifer and his cohorts who rebelled against Him. The thing about hell is that it is totally absent of the presence of God.
If you look at this earth, how it is constructed and every molecular detail which holds together, the beauty of nature and the spirits of those who truly love God, it is evident His presence is among us.
Hell, on the other hand, is totally void of this. When one winds up on hell, they will not have another chance to return to the Lord - they will be eternally seperated from Him. Here on earth, in this life we now have, we all have that opportunity. The question is, when He calls, will you answer and accept His salvation?

Honestly in my opinion.. Just because the earth has beautiful parts does not mean that we are not in hell. i go through alot and pray to god yahweh allah the creator jesus angles and i still get nothing. This is hell and when we die all we do is repeat the same life over again and people know this. beyonce said. it can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare. dejavu could be you remembering your past life. if people open their eyes they will notice we have been in hell for years. many people were born into it. Not there fault but then again. no soul is innocent. and the bible said that god gave us free will.. Why didnt i have the choice to be here or not? Just wondering. A few songs about hell. Lil wayne god bless amerika. ab soul hell yeah. kendrick lamar heaven and hell. kendrick lamar negative world. theres more but you look for yourself. seeya

SO a great king died who was so good and so loved and so wise the Deva's in heaven were waiting anxiously for his arrival so that he may teach them.
The day of his death he arrived at his destination. He found it pleasant and after a few days he made the comment.
This heaven is so much nicer then I ever dreamed.
OH my lord you are mistaken his companion replied "This is not Heaven this is Hell.The people here are miserable, Your presence here however fills all of us with joy."Just then the angels appeared Sorry for there mistake " Oh great king we are so sorry we will take you now to heaven"
The king replied" I have found my heaven right here I will stay."
Heaven can be anywhere according to the Buddhist tale.
Jesus has said the Kingdom of heaven is upon us men do not see it.
The angels are demons to those who cling to there egos.The fires of hell destroy what is holding one back from seeing heaven.
Me I am not ready for heaven I want to live here in Hell for a few more lifetimes. When I am ready, and when I have learned all that Hell has to teach and burn off. . then I will be prepared for heaven

Sorry to hear you are a Catholic, I will pray for you to become a Christian.
Satan is the god of this world (the Bible) so you may experience hard times here, but NOTHING like the real hell. I mean it will be so bad, you will want someone to put a drop of water on your tounge.
Hell is a real place, and it is eternal. Jesus said you "MUST" be born-again to get into heaven. If Jesus said you "MUST" be born agian, then you MUST be born-again.
And no, being born-again is not just having some water dripped on your head when you were an infant. That is another false Catholic teaching that has no merit. There are no infant baptisms in the Bible.

We are not in hell. Hell is 50,000 times worse then earth could be. Somewhere you don't want to be. I'd live on earth a million years suffering with normal then things rather than go to hell for eternity.

Creation is God's work.
Personal conditions belong to us.
Each time we show up, I doubt if much
changes until we make the change.

I understand how you can be confused. I can imagine being a catholic is like hell.
But hell is eternal torment. No purgatory. Your alone, on fire tormented and its forever.

the thought that this is hell, has become my reality for the past year and a half. i can't tell what is real from unreal. i feel crazy, and i have thoughts that tell me to kill myself. i see everthing as dark. i feel that the devil is watching me all the time, and that others want to kill or harm me. im affraid of even my family at times. ive given into sins because idk what to do. im just filled with paranoia. idk what is going on, or what i am doig half the time. i feel like god does not want me. its scary. i feel like im not suppose to live, but im not suppose to die.

With all the suffering could it be there is NO magic man in the sky who "loves everyone"
Or does his definition of "love" mean woman getting raped by rebels in Africa, people killing themselves for no reason, kids starving with aids, and workers being ecploited in endless hours of work???
