Hell, what is it?

Many religions have different views on what hell is. What are yours?

Jean-Paul Sarte said it best: "Hell is other people."

A fiery place of perpetual torment for sinners who have not been washed by the blood of Jesus Christ.

Hell is human life. Doomed for eternity means endless reincarnation for those who just can't seem to get it right.

Simply a place separated from God's love.

I kind of agree with you. But do you really believe a "Loving God' would send us there. My views on hell is simply that it is a holding place.

Complete love requires complete justice.

Washed by blood sounds rather hellish to me!

I'm not sure if I believe all that, but it was still very interesting, eh?

All that for something you don't believe in? You gotta be kidding.

Thanks for taking all the drama out of it CLINT!

Kind of like a drunk tank? What does "kind of agree" reeeeally mean?

I thought it required compassion. But, hey, justice is cool!

As the moderator, I apologize for this member's behaviour.

I don't know what came over me. Please note I made fun of myself as well.
I will be watching myself carefully for further sarcasm. I give and take this as a warning. *slap on typing wrist*

meh. I dont think that there is a hell. I dont actually believe that there is life after death.
If anything, imo, it's just something made up to scare someone into doing the desired actions of the powertripper.
"YOU will go to hell if you do not come to our Christian meeting held on Tuesdays at 8. And here, take a leaflet. No, go on... we've even taped a sweet to it."
