is hell good?
Some of you say you dont believe in a literal heaven or hell. but you believe in god? Where does your idea of god come from, if not from the bible? And doesnt the bible talk about torment or suffering for the ungodly?
The question is.... is the hell idea good? is suffering and torment good, even if there is no corrective purpose? (IE: suffering for the sake of suffering, imposed by a god that has deemed that is eternally too late for a souls salvation) why or why not is this good? Is it just? Is it fair? Is it EVER fair to torture someone forever? Is it EVER fair to boil someone in a lake of fire or burn them in a fiery furnace for all time just for punishments sake (with no corrective or purifying aim) some have said that fire is for correction and is literally not real, but connotatively a method of correction and purification. I suppose this is nicer and more merciful. Is complete lack of mercy for those who god deems curse worthy good? IS it good that these people are eternally cast out with no hope, no matter what they do? what are the thoughts |

Fairy tales such as the one about hell is just that - a fairy tale designed to keep people in check. Scare 'em with hell and bride 'em with heaven while fleecing them all the way. |

Never been there
The question is good. But never been there and never knew nobody that been there and had come back to tell me. But just in case I want to keep a clean Karma not exactly to not go to hell but to have a better life here on earth. I concentrate in my mission here and look foward not to live hell on earth.
