Is it wrong to teach kids about Hell?

[God of Mr. Hanky]

That's the problem with religions especially ones like Christianity. Also...that's one of the very many reasons people still fall for it. Because they are worried of the consequence of hell.

But there is no hell, it's all made up.

Why? Well mostly for power and control over the masses.

There are countless hells on Earth.  Spending decades in solitary confinement is an American prison is hell.  People who were kidnapped, whipped, branded, and spent their lives in slavery were in hell.  People who starved to death while wars raged around them were in hell.  People disfigured and afflicted with all kinds of debilitating diseases and birth defects are in hell.  

There are countless hells on Earth.  You will be very lucky if you never experience one of them.  Billions of people have experienced them first hand.

I just have to love how Xtians always think they are applying that threat of hell only to the modern-day equivalent of pampered princes, who were carried aloft through the wretched villages of common workers on slave-born litters while munching on peeled grapes, and they had to bow down before said prince as he floats by.

How can a Christian really have empathy for those who are poor and suffering when he can't even see them?

Who Cares Wins

Anthrax, 1988


Close your eyes to the horror
Close your eyes to the pain
When you live in a box
No one knows your name
Living in the street
Moms and kids with nothing to eat
Welfare hotels
Who says there's no place called hell

I can't see you
I can't hear you
You don't see me
You couldn't be me
Who cares wins

There but for the grace of god
There but for the grace of god
Who cares, who cares, who cares, who cares
There but for the grace of god
There but for the grace of god...
Go you or I
Open your eyes
You don't see me
You couldn't be me

Invisible could be my name
Your excuses are so lame
Real pleas fall on deaf ears
Look away when I'm near
Freezing cold in winter's heat
Burning up can be a treat
Blisters breaking on my feet
At least I get a subway seat

I can't see you
I can't hear you
You don't see me
You couldn't be me
Who cares wins

There but for the grace of god
There but for the grace of god
Who cares, who cares, who cares, who cares
There but for the grace of god
There but for the grace of god...

Go you or I
Open your eyes
You don't see me
You couldn't be me
Who cares wins

Self help and preservation
Not now I'm on vacation
Priority is you
And screw all those around you

Now's the time for you to share
Indifference you have to care
Deep inside you know it's true
How do I get through to you
Open your eyes to the horror
Open your eyes to the pain
When you live in a box
No one knows your name

[CHORUS]
