The above sentence I read as an analogy to explain me the concept of Hell.
Maybe I'm silly, but I simply don't get it. Parents shouldn't even light a fire when kids are too close, at least that's how I was educated. Why would a good parent even use fire around kids?
Isn't Hell more like a parent telling his/her kids: eat your dinner, or else I'm gonna throw you into the fireplace? And when the kid absolutely doesn't wanna eat that yukky sushi, actually throwing the kid into the fireplace?
And only because the kid didn't believe that he will like the taste of sushi. I don't believe for a second that any parent would treat an asushist that way. Do you?

I took a poll and no one is in Hell for not eating their dinner.
At least, not yet. It could come to that though.
And as to sushi, if God wanted us to eat raw fish he surely wouldn't have let us figure out how to cook food.
Sushi=yuck !

There is no hell being a hot place.
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Ha′des were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.
Hades is Greek for Hell...
Which one is the ' hot place ' ???
Religion has confused the two.
If Hades is eliminated along with death, it can only be the grave...in the ground or in the sea.
So...no death = no graves = no hell...
The lake of fire is an anology for destruction.It is also referred to in the Bible as Gehenna...
It is also where Satan will finish up...being destroyed.
Rev. 20;10

Yeah, I think some of the nutters would. Look up Fred Phelps or Phelps Family on the web. I wouldn't put it past them.

Wait, so you are educated - you know? ...Which means that your knowledge will be taken into account.
