How can it be that so many people apparently go to hell, yet not see the devil? Does this not prove that it is not a made up event?
I really want some rational feedback. When I am afraid, I am anything but rational!
Thanks very much in advance!
If you fear hell, you don't need a rational argument not to fear it.
You need to understand that the Lord FSM will haunt your every waking moment after death and deny you any and all spaghetti.
Imagine the number of people already being denied spaghetti for all eternity! All those FSM unbelievers that have ever existed in the face of this planet...
Bah... The concept of hell is as old as people have been thinking about an afterlife. No one likes to lose a loved one, no one likes to see a wise elder disappear into the dust... But they do... And no one likes the thought that they too will disappear into dust.
This, coupled with singe mental disturbances and/or hallucinogenic plant burning/ingestion, quickly leads to the concept of the spirit world... One we wish to access, but such access seems only available to a select few ( *con-artists*cough*cough).
If there is a spirit world, then we will want bad spirits to be separated from the good ones... You can see the concept of a bad spirit world also popping up...
But they're are various degrees of bad, so people come up with the levels of hell.
But the awesome part is that, if there are no spirits, there is no afterlife and no heaven nor hell.
A person's personality, her memories, her dreams, her wisdom, as far as we can tell, are all brain functions. If the brain stops working, all those functions stop. If certain parts of the brain fail, certain parts of the person's psyche fail, too.
Basically, it's all in your brain.
