Quote:Assuming that Hell is a man-made idea, why do you think someone would invent such a thing?


As it turns out, I answered a similar thread on another forum today.

Beginning with:The notion of an eternal hell is a Christin invention. It does not exist in Judaism nor is it to be found in the Torah.

I found this fascinating video,with a retired bishop: His claim is that the church invented hell to control people.This man remains a theist, but a less deluded one.
