Hell and Satan are just old stories used to keep the masses in line....Sort of like the boogey man stories some parents tell their kids.

People keep hinting that we have our physical bodies in heaven and or hell. I always imagined that when we died, we would just be floating clouds of some sort.

...I think all the Hellbounded. Really need to chill...if these kinds of post offend you why stop by to read these!

..Hell is not a physical place nor a place of Fire. But the condition of ones mind...this kind of thinking and belief brings only punishment to the one who believes in eternal torments and tortures...it is a fear of going to this place It is a man created FEAR..of burning for eions and eions in fire... Fear is not from GOD..!

It's horrible what modern religion are teaching people. People are being brainwashed with that kind of thinking. Sounds like they're all terrioist who reign in heaven and will unjustly throw mankind into fire to burn them to death with their thoughts!

thank goodness GOD is LOVE eh!

I believe! If I'm right, I have everything to gain. If I'm wrong, I have nothing to lose.
Well I hope you're practicing ALL religions and belief systems. What if the one you currently subscribe to is wrong? It's better to be safe than sorry, ya know


I hope in hell they'll have some sort of dress code. I mean, let's face it: there's also gonna be some scary chicks in hell to go alone with the hot ones. Hopefully Satan will lay the smackdown on the fat ones who insist on wearing too little clothing. It would be an improvement over what our eyes have to see on Earth sometimes, that's for sure.

That makes you laugh does it?

Oh lord, a reference to Lazarus and the rich man. This story has nothing to do with hell. It was yet another of Jesus' parables and not a true story Christ told to give details about the punishment of sinners in hell. I am not going to go deep into this as it would take too long, so I will post a link. Understand I do not believe in this guy's god or theology (he is a Universalist Christian), but his explanation of that passage makes sense to me as evidence that this passage was actually a parable. I certainly do not agree with the belief behind it. I challenge folks to read this. For the unbeliever, this explanation will make sense, theologically anyway. Doesn't mean you will agree with the writer or become a believer...do not worry. For the believer, it will challenge you to rethink things you have always thought to be true. It is for that very reason, I am pretty sure that most of you fundies and evangelicals will avoid it like the plague as reexamination and thinking seems to frighten you so.

To be honest...no. My response was to the smug comment that hell is going to be some kind of kegger. I laugh at the silly attitude that some people have about it. My laughter is not for the fact that some will suffer--but more a mocking of the silly attitude that others have about it.

I wasn't referring specifically to that story, but you can use it if you want to. Jesus never called it a parable, and there is no reason we can't draw truth from it regarding the nature of hell.

It certainly presents an unpleasant picture of it.
