HELL or not HELL?

[Aoi Magi]

If you want to debate, start by defining what you want to debate clearly. Hell has a lot of different definitions, even among a particular faith like Christianity there are many different sects with different beliefs about hell.

Anyway, most known concepts do share a common theme of being a place of torture in the afterlife, and since no one till date has been able to prove an afterlife or even the existence of consciousness after our brain functions cease, we can safely dismiss assertions of what happens in the afterlife till proper evidence is presented.

Still waiting on that proof that the Christian God does not exist....  

oh that's easy... just a casual reading of the bible without cherrypicking is proof enough!

We put animals in cages and eat them. Why God should deny himself pleasure of abusing humans? If he exists like described in popular religion, we are doomed. But yet again, our courts, prison and farms aren't as insanely brutal as God's many years or 50k year torture.

Well, we are extremely primitive creatures in comparison, driven by evolutionary traits. Some sort of superbeing would, I expect, be above casual sadism. It could give itself whatever pleasure it wanted without actually harming anything. Even I wouldn’t want to hurt anything for fun, no matter how powerful I became.

The weird characters religions describe are generally just overgrown humans, and pretty shitty ones at that. It would be a very weird coincidence if this turned out to be the truth.

No matter how much a sadist you consider a being to be, torturing for an eternity is bound to get boring at some point!
