Organized Chaos Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Discuss hell and what you think it might be like. Do you think you're going to hell ? By the way, I know it's religious but just consider it as an actual place. So no atheists/religious people shoving crap down people's throats. If you don't believe in it, just imagine it as if it was real. I think it would be a cold deserted landscape to truly emphasize the feeling of empty isolation. That is true hell. But your opinion matters as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng's Old Account Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I think hell doesn't exist. I think we live on Earth until we die, and then we wake up in Heaven To put it simple: this is all a dream, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are we all dead or were we born there ? Is the Earth on our dreams similar to the real one ? Sorry for the questions, this theory interests me.

Raine Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 EDIT: Not hell, it's Mexico. I'll take the notion of hell as a very bad place for bad people. A lot of problems with this one: 1) Like most afterlives, I just don't. Both Christian Hell and Heaven are simply spiritual incentives to be good to receive good and punish evil with evil. Bulls*** religious control, pretty textbook. 2) Should such a thing exist, how would it determine good and evil, based on the religion of the person? His/her proper religious deeds? His/her proper moral deeds? His/her net worth he/she made on the world? It's all too vague and insanely biased. After that, I'd say in absolute generic sense... no, I wouldn't go to hell. I'm taking that it's based on a bell curve and I'm in the upper 50% of people morally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FindingTheEverlight Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 If hell were real, I'd imagine it as being just a black abyss and you're just eternally falling. The whole vision of hell was thought up by religious leaders to keep their followers in line. It's just a ploy to make them "good". Imho, Hell nor Heaven actually exist, when we die it's just over.

Vairocana Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 y'all realize that you don't go to heaven (in the christian sense) by doing good deeds or by being a good person, right? (unless you're catholic, I guess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partangle the Candle Jangler Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hell would be you having to relive your life, and getting every decision wrong, being involved in horrible accidents, and living through it all. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since hell is intrinsically tied into heaven (if we agree that hell, by definition, is some form of place "bad" people go, which then, by logic, means there must be a place "good" people go), I don't see how one can cull out discussion of heaven when discussing hell.

Organized Chaos Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 So yeah, I agree with people using Heaven and Hell as incentibves for rewards for their faith but I just think that if either one would exist, something tells me hell would be the one. But I do agree with Vairocana on that if we have to discuss hell, we have to at least mention heaven but I would prefer to keep on topic. Also Darkplant's comment made me laugh. Maybe we are the dreams of a giant creature and in that sense, hell would be eternal nothingness while watching the suffering of those already alive.

[/quote] The topic is the physical layout of Hell, in your mind. I see no need for the mention of Heaven at all, unless it is "the opposite of" which most competent people already know, so stating it would be pointless. Hell and Heaven are connected, but only one is the topic of this thread. So add to the topic before branching into connecting thoughts, not a difficult task. Also if you plan to have a post replying to another, quote it, like you did with mine. Its only proper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
