Anyway this aside - I do from times worry about going to Hell If I am wrong but ultimately the way I see it is that Jews (Original People) Explicitly don't preach the afterlife. This came in around 300 BC - 90 AD when Rome got its hands on religion and started tampering.
@Pineapple I hear your view completely but for some reason Christians think 'SomeHow' its acceptable for God to punish those we love. I must admit as a Christian when I had to come to this concept I felt dis-intrested inside e.g. thinking 'At least I'm in Heaven'. So I can see where Drich is comming from.
To be honest though reading the Bible considering God who openly spoke to the Jews before Jesus and he never once mentioned a 'Hell' I'll go with the OT God on this one. Also if someone wants to throw the Lake of Fire into the Midst please do - Unfortunately though the Book of Revelations is hardly a reliable source. It largely contridicts everything you know about God and Jesus lol.
You still believe in god? Even knowing the inconsistencies in the bible and the fact that there are multiple religions claiming to know very different gods?
