Hell?
May 6, 2013 at 10:36 pm

The myth of Hell came from allegories to an area outside Jerusalem called Gehenna, which was a garbage dump that was frequently set on fire, and they threw the bodies of criminals there too. So what they were trying to say was "You'll be cast out and scorned in history and not get even a good burial if you're a dick." But the dipshits composing the bible decided it meant an actual place where people burn.
So yes, "hell," never mentioned in the original abrahamic texts, actually comes from the references to Gehenna...
...Which was a garbage dump outside of Jerusalem where criminals' bodies were tossed as well.
So...yeah, everyone, if you want to get a firsthand experience of what hell is...just go looking around for garbage dumps outside of Jerusalem. ZOMG ITS HELLz0rz ON EARTH U GUIZ!!

No not really.

The dipshits who wrote the Bible seemed to think that Earth, light, and days existed before there was a sun or stars to make any of them. The only bigger morons are the people who think these men had any idea what they were talking about.

Perhaps they original authors made it to the Great Rift valley?

If this statement was released with worldwide coverage, I could see the world's religious folks heading to their own local dumps, setting fire to it and chanting.

If by religious you mean Satanists...

Haha, in my opinion, generally the same thing. Now and then you find some lovely religious folks, but you know those ones that don't have time for anything aside from their church friends.... they'll be the ones celebrating the burning of a council dump.

And the godless dipshit butt-babies will all regret they didn't take it seriously. Don't forget to marinade yourselves Christian "I told you so."
