Do you believe in the existence of hell?

many religions believe in some-sort of hell, and I'm not surprised. You can argue in any way, whether there is or not hell. What is hell? Is the right answer? Is it right next to us? Is it below us, deep in the earth? Where? If there was no hell, where do spirits and demons come from? What are demons and spirits? Where do souls go after their body dies? Do all go to heaven or a good place? Do the people who did bad things while alive like rape, murder, kidnapping, etc deserve to be in a good place? People believe hell is for the bad people or people who have committed sins in their life. Yet, no one can clearly explain what is hell. If you were to ask 100 people what hell was, you'd probably get a variety of answers, but most if not all pointing towards one thing "Hell is where demons and evil things reside." or "A place you go to after you die" or "Hell is torture and pain"

I know I rambled, but in the end, I believe in Hell. Mostly because I am religious and grew up religious, but at the same time, I believe in hell because I believe demons and ghosts do exist, if not why is there a fuss? Science may prove that demons and ghosts don't exist, but science is constantly changing. Who knows? Maybe one day they'll acknowledge that spirits and demons are real.

Sorry if I rambled. I would ramble more, but I'm trying to limit myself.

Yes I believe in Hell. When I dwell at home, it's my responsibility to break the home or to live in it. The same thing is adhered with world, you can do good and bad also. A man murdered a Patriarch or Matriarch, or a dear one or anybody, do you agree to not punish him/her? Or do you not condemn it, only? If they escape from this world's punishment, they will have it hereafter.

Might punishments alike wearing a dress that is regarded as evil code according to a particular religion, or more such as are not part of punishments, perhaps. Because I feel like these have been made by man for coercion, for domination and for persuasion. Religion talks firmly about very few sins.

I am not saying it because I am a Theist, but for the reason my tiny brain accepts it rationally.

No it's fairy tales to control people.

Other the fact than religion are man-made. Why?

Did you choose your brain? No

Considering that your brain is ultimately what make you think, did you choose who you are? No

So would it be fair? No

What I am saying here is really simple if you were born me... you would be me, all what I done what I will do you would do it.

Sorry for being fatalist but it's a sad reality, free will doesn't exist.

When you died you loose your conscience and get back to what you were before being born (nothing) and from there... frankly it's maybe possible to comeback but it takes and unimaginable number of time, I am referring to Poincaré recurrence here.

I don't believe in God, but will accept it as a probability especially if it has nothing to do with humans religions (Let's face it humans are nothing in the Universe, it's very probable that some aliens got IQ that's several times higher than ours.

nopesees

i don't believe that anything or anyone is ever bad or evil

everyone makes mistakes - that doesn't make you bad

you need mistakes cuz then you can learn from them

many people behave cruelly because they have been harmed,

it is not because they are "bad"

people with mental disorders, who have been raised by horrible parents(who have themselves gone through trauma) , if these people had parents at all

are not "bad"

they are victims

and then other people become victims

some become heroes

but we are all human

and the universe:

glaciers, gamma ray bursts, supernovas, rain,

evolution, other animals

there's no "bad" within it

as humans, the most objective thing we can say is that it's all beautiful

therefore hell doesn't fit in to the picture

I think our general concept of hell comes more from "Dante's Inferno" than anything else.

Hell is to be completely apart from God. God being the source of all goodness.

Heaven is to be in God's presence.

In “Reasons for God” Pastor Tim Keller writes;

[quote- slightly paraphrased to shorten]

… The biblical picture is that sin separates us from God, which is the source of all joy and indeed of all love, wisdom, or good things of any sort. Since we were originally created for God’s immediate presence, only before his face will we truly thrive, flourish, and achieve our highest potential. If we lose his presence totally, that would be hell – the loss of our capability for giving or receiving love or joy.

A common image of hell in the Bible is that of fire. Fire disintegrates. Even in this life we can see the kind of soul disintegration that self-centeredness creates. We see how selfishness and self-absorption leads to piercing bitterness, nauseating envy, paralyzing anxiety, paranoid thoughts, and the mental denials and distortions that accompany them. Now ask the question: “What if when we die we don’t end, but spiritually our life extends on into eternity?” Hell, then, is a trajectory of a soul, living a self-absorbed, self-centered life, going on forever.

[end quote]

So, I see the “fires of hell” as a metaphor for existence apart from God. An existence that is devoid of all goodness, based on selfishness.

Nope I'm a nihilist. Their is no legitimate proof in any way of what happens when you die.

No I don't think hell or heaven is real.

were living there.. its called earth but to others hell

Yes I was born there! =)

No, I don't think its real.
