A rational explanation for hell?

[C Rod]

The last part should say ",well" not ",will". I am grasping at a truth of reality and importance. I think when talking about importance or known reality, analogies are just an easy dodge to persuade any real consideration.

Actually, analogies are a very good tool to explain something in an understandable way, which is why great literature is filled with them.

From what I can tell from your answer, you are basically saying the afterlife gives you hope, which is why it is important to you. I, however, was making the point that it's better to base your beliefs on reality and not on something that is fantasy but makes you feel well. At first glimpse, life can appear to be harsh and cold without things such as god and the afterlife, but they don't have to be.

I wouldn't say hope but an acceptance that is hope. Something additional to my life.
But like Rhythm said, when he couldn't reply back with a observational answer, "Somebody has to come back from the dead to tell you what the experience is like." And im like yea. We see death and we see that it is final. But i want to know what the experience is like, the actual death. But he could not tell me so he dodged with that conclusion. If death is like this why don't you fight it or go all out. Or sense there are many claims of an afterlife then it should be considered.
Comparing the "teapot" to the testimonies of men about a God is what gets me. That analogy may be a comparable one sense there is no observational proof but one is extensively detailed and one is a mere idea told for logical purposes. But an atheists will fight for the atheist agenda.
