I consider sin disobeying God's will, I also consider hell the absense of God's Love. Those who reject God's will seperate themselves from God's love and that is what I consider hell, being seperated for eternity from God. I don't believe in the imagery of some flames and pitchforks somewhere underground. I think we can make something close to heaven and "hell" here on Earth, and do. I hope that clarifies it a little better Sae.

Hell is pretty comfortable if it is just separation from God then.
I've been living nicely without him for a while now.

Hell... in that case I love hell 
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Then don't be so offended when the fundies say repent or go to hell. Tell them I'm quite comfortable there, that'll shut them up.

Last time I did that, I was told I am Satan's bitch.
I took offence at that, as I am not a female. Unless when one goes to hell they switch genders or something, it simply does not make contextual sense.

Then tell him he's God's bitch and walk away.. maybe he'll get it, but probably not

But then it would be just as inaccurate as my chief complaint in previous post. I hate being inaccurate.
And I often wonder, why is being ascribed as the bottom, the 'bitch', the submissive if you will, such an insult? Seriously, two joined together, for better or worse, are still joined and are in unison as opposed to being isolate, individual.

I say push him!
Push him down and say "Who's the bitch now?!"
Then kick 'em. Gotta kick 'em when they're down.

As opposed to being so utterly unsuccessful that one cannot even catch?
