Nonexistance = Hell

RE: Nonexistance = Hell
(March 19, 2010 at 5:28 am)alexjems41 Wrote: The only way one can say hell does not exist from firsthand experience is to have experienced firsthand every possible spiritual abode and not found hell among them. Obviously nobody alive on this earth today may truthfully make the claim that they have done so. Therefore, our knowledge of the existence or mythology of hell is based solely on sources other than firsthand experience.

Not so. Anyone can say anything they like. Observe:

Point being... a person can say anything they like, even if it is wrong. Further... (using your example that a person cannot say a thing does not exist from firsthand experience) why are we assuming that they haven't "experienced firsthand every possible spiritual abode and not found hell among them" in the first place? Any claim that they cannot make that claim truthfully is subject to the questioning of accuracy behind the claim. A persons' knowledge of "Hell" may be an entirely individual construct, that by chance is exactly the same as the "Hell" we are imagining in this instance.

I agree with you overall, in that I understand the point you were trying to make... one might hope that you already know everything outlined in this post Smile

Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
