10 Arguments Against Hell

[Cinjin]

A very good point DP.

I'm pretty sure in the movies, TV and in real life when someone says angrily, "I'll see you in hell!" - they're not implying "...as the party greeter with your festive hat and fruity cocktail."

[Ace Otana]

Satan cares nothing for those who will spend eternity in hell, evil cares for nothing or no one. Satan will be far to busy trying to handle his own punishment to worry about anyone else. For those who think hell will be a party, you are completely deluded in you thought, God ordained hell as punishment, that being the total opposite of the wonders of heaven.

Says god, or those who wrote for god who is actually just a crazy imagination.
Very one sides isn't it? We hear god's opinion of hell and Satan but nothing from Satan. Perhaps Satan is being the bigger man and refuses to lower himself to god's immature standards.
Perhaps you're wrong and that those who go to hell are free from god's immaturity.
Satan seems like the good guy you know.

You know, I still haven't heard a reason why some people "freely reject" God? Why would anyone reject God? If you say because of their hearts, then why do some people with sinful hearts reject God while others with sinful hearts accept him?

Let's try this one, one more time, you have rejected God, so the answer is within you.

What is causing the punishment?

Your sin and everyone else whose sin goes unforgiven.

In any case liberation from your useless tyrant god sounds wonderful. Hell cannot logically be awful if a person hates god so much they find co-existing with him more unbearable than eternal darkness.

Now that's , Because you and the other atheist here say how is it that God could send people to such an awful place.

How? Who wants to be forgiven when you can be free?

Well that's very un-Christian of you. You're not supposed to find the damnation of another amusing. According to you your god's not laughing, so why are you? Acknowledge the point please. If the sinner -utterly hates- god hell cannot function properly as a place or state of punishment as you claim. They'd hate co-existing with god much more than separation from him correct? Heaven on the other hand, surrounded by the god they detest, and forced to sing songs of praise, would be the rebellious soul's worst nightmare.

You haven't grasped the concept of punishment at all have you? Do you spite yourself with chocolate whenever you wrong someone?

Interestingly enough, you just described the Eastern conception of Hell.

In the West (Catholicism and the protestant denominations which split off), Hell is the absence of God, love himself. Wicked people reject God, and suffering is a result of that.

In the East (mostly the Orthodox churches), it is impossible to ever be in the "absence of God". Everyone is in the presence of God, but what can be more terrible to someone who has rejected goodness than to be in the presence of all goodness?

(Not that "rejected" does not necessarily imply "does not believe in")

I think both conceptions of Hell are interesting and worth contemplation.

Also I don't think he's laughing at damnation, just laughing at atheists who try to say that Hell is unjust and then turn around and say that Hell is a "party"!

What ever made you believe you would be free in hell, when God makes a place like hell it is intended for punishment, and last I checked punishment to everyone is not considered freedom.

There you go again, doing what you claim christians do that irritate you so, judging.
I was not laughing at the possibility of you or anyone going to hell, I find it the most tragic happening in ones life, especially when it can be totally avoided.
You are wrong in assuming that the separation from God would be pleasant for any reason. Their hatred will be turn toward God because they did not choose Him, after seeing exactly what they missed they will find it within them to blame God for their plight. They will also suffer the horror of separation, God's justice is balanced, as I said the wonders of heaven and the punishment of hell are diametric opposites.
Their desire will be to be in heaven, their reality is they can never have their desire and will have to suffer that for eternity. They will hate God because of the position they find their selves. Read the parable of the rich man and Lazarus.

And you think kissing his feet for all eternity is freedom?

If you love something you set it free. Your god hasn't comprehended this revelation yet.

Their hatred will be turn toward God because they did not choose Him, after seeing exactly what they missed they will find it within them to blame God for their plight.

Which is exactly why separation from god is so splendid for the sinner that hates god above all else.

No. They don't desire Heaven. I for one don't desire Heaven. You're not understanding this whole apathy and intense hatred towards god and his kingdom very well are you?

God is love; the source of all good and happiness. Finding a total absence of all joy and happiness as "splendid" is cartoonish villainy and not how people genuinely are
