Abraham and Jewish History?!?

See a child die, would be very sad, however this doesnt prove there is no God, just our understand and perception of God is, perhaps wrong...

... because yours certianly is.

No. If you want to talk about the Bible, understand how theology works.

If you want to understand the bible, understand mythology, if you want to understand mythology, understand the evolution trends of theology.

In Greek mythology etenal hell was called Kronos, the worst of the worst places. Hades was the afterlife in greek mythology, a place where one lived forever. So yes there was such a thing as eternal hell...

Kronos was the the god of time.. the brother or the father in some versions of Zeus and Poseidon. Perhaps you're thinking of Tartarus, where the Titans (mythology within a mythology) were imprisoned by Zeus. Hades on the other hand was an afterlife, but not one of eternal torment and damnation as we would be told it was by christians... even the worst levels of Hades were just places of solitude and reflection.

Note the crucial differance even there with the Greek pagans (i'm not even going to bring up the fact that they had little to no cultural influence on the hebrews and were not based in the levant), pagan "hell" was one of reflection and contemplation where you would go to consider the merits of your actions, whereas christian hell involved being skewered by a saytr (the image as we would recognise as a devil, but originated as the pagan image for fun and orgies) and molested by walking skeletons for all eternity.

One encouraged responsibility for ones actions, the other waved a big stick and demanded obidience or else.
