HELL
RE: HELL
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Ah, I was just about to post a picture of me on the beach! But I was wearing the same bikini, so it would look dumb now.

RE: HELL
One of the stories I've heard on the documentary HBO released. Which apparently caused Ratzinger to quit his "God given job", is that of a beautiful lady who, when she was no more than 5 years old, was raped by a demon who claims to be a priest, within the church walls, and was told that if she told anyone, all her family will go to hell.

Hence the purpose of that word is to frighten the heavens out of poor living innocent people into serviture, slavery and exploitation by a gang/mob of cowardly criminals who claim to be men of God.
That is what hell is: Criminal tool to manipulate and exploit others. So no, there is no hell, much less for "ETERNITY". There are consequences to each act whether it be good, bad or in between. Basically the enactment of the universal law of cause and effect. Nothing more.

Quote:Are you saying that if a person is aware of the quran, then that person should believe it... if the person is aware of the quran, but refuses to believe it, then that person is bound for hell?

That's pretty standard fare for all theists, isn't it Poke?


Nice photo, C/L.  I had to switch glasses to look at it.

I agree it's a silly concept and that's why I don't believe only Christians go to Heaven, as I said on my OP. 

Thanks Min.

Looks like you might be near Crescent Beach in that shot.  Florida is pretty nice if you like beaches.
