Is Hell Really a Bad Place?

[pineapplebunnybounce]

You're raised in a society where Christianity is one of the major religions (I assume?). I wasn't. I've met more buddhists who've seen the buddhist hell when they have NDE or nightmares than I have seen Christians claim the same. Plenty of them have had prophetic dreams involving one of the buddhist deities. You're just like them, only a different god. Interestingly, muslims have never claimed this, at least the ones I know, I haven't had a muslim tell me that allah told them something, they mostly just quote the qur'an, maybe because the qur'an says mohammed is the last prophet, so they think they're not supposed to receive information directly from god, so they don't.

Yes I was raised in the so called Bible belt of the southern U.S. Yet it would not matter, the experiences I've had with God assures me in a knowledge He is the only God. I also am one who does not speculate on what ifs, to me that's a waste of time, those what ifs did not happen in my life, and there is no reason to dwell on such things that did not happen.

What is this in response to? I'm not saying if you grew up somewhere else it'd be different. I'm saying you probably haven't experienced a society that truly believes in something you think is absurd, so you wouldn't understand why I discount your experiences so easily.

Maybe the Muslims do not hear from god because their god is not real, they claim the God of Abraham, yet their religion evolved out of a moon god. Look at their flag, it's a crescent moon with a star inside the crescent. The moon is the mother and the star is the son in the moon worship and the sun is the father, yet they ignore the sun on their flag.

You missed my point. I'm saying muslims don't expect to hear from god, they don't believe they can, because they're not prophets, so we don't hear claims that they've heard from allah. Christians and buddhists believe this is possible, so we hear claims of their experiences, because their mind allows them to imagine these things.

What is this random blurb about Islam?

The original Buddha did not teach hell, it was a religion of ascension from one lived life to the next until you attained buddha, or at least I think it's that way. Reincarnation without a true god seems impossible, how would a dead man bring himself back to life as another.

Excuse me, buddhism involves more than just buddha. There are more deities and there is a very structured hell and there are things you can do to get out of there. Also reincarnation.

It really is no less bullshit than Christianity. In fact it even makes more sense because it's a polytheism.

It isn't justice if it serves no purpose. Justice serves a purpose, that's why it's present in all society, in some form or another.

If you believe what you've said above, then why would you deny justice to God's society and why would you deny His type of justice, is this for you to judge?

I said it isn't justice. I'm not denying justice, I said it serves no purpose therefore it isn't justice. Only things that have a purpose is considered justice.

Yes it is for me to judge.
