Is Hell Real?

[rexbeccarox]

Poe p-poe poe poooooooooooe!

Many people are fond of saying Hell doesn't exist. Well I have news for you. It does.

Many people die and go there.

So where is it? You seem to think it's an actual place.  They did it today, they will do it tomorrow.

Hell is awful. It is like you are being burned napalm forever and ever. Evil horrible demons will stab you screech at you and rip your flesh off. You might "Hell is on giant party" or "All the cool people are in Hell."

Newsflash people! You will have no fun and no conversations in Hell. You will be too busy burning to care.

And you know these things how?

Many haughty atheists like to snigger and guffaw about Hell being real. Why would it be fake though, if so many people have been to Hell and back?

And if they haven't? Have you ever considered that?

Even if Hell is real, which I'm not remotely conceding, the concept is used as a means of superstitious control. "Believe or burn". You're even doing this yourself right here in this thread, whether or not you realise it. It's a dog leash for the gullible, a straitjacket for the intellect. You fell for it; don't think for a nanosecond that you'll sell it to me, or anyone else here.

Please consider these testimonials, and make your own decision. It may be the most important one you ever make.

If Blaise Pascal knew how his ridiculous wager would turn into an industry of insanity, he'd almost certainly have done something useful like take up knitting instead.

This is evidence.

But not compelling evidence. Nor even slightly convincing, unless you happen to be already convinced.

Why do you use swear words? That is so angry and hateful.

Whereas fapping over people who happen not to agree with you "too busy burning to care" and "you deserve Hell by sinning against God. When you are dead you will be screaming and crying saying "Why oh why didn't we listen to Christians? WHYY?"" And a demon will likely jab you with a pitchfork or throw you into a pool of sewage to get you to stop screeching. You will be oh so weak and oh so thirsty. But you will never ever get a moments of relief, or even a drop of water." is happy and joyful, of course.

I beg you to reconsider. Christ is real and loves you very much.

Unless you have the affrontery not to believe in him, in which case he'll happily see you burn. Yep; true love.

Just welcome him into your heart. Start off welcoming him just a little bit. See how it goes

What makes you think people here have never done that?

I have always been curious to know whether these people who have claimed that they have seen Hell or Heaven if they're heavy drug users.

There's basically four possibilities:

1) They're delusional or insane
2) They're lying for political gain
3) They truly believe these experiences happened
4) They really did have these experiences

Unfortunately, with no way to evaluate these things objectively, no way to distinguish between 1-3 and 4, and overwhelming evidence that people have lied about and imagined all sorts of things as long as there have been people, all the smart money is not on the OP's side.

When you are dead you will be screaming and crying saying "Why oh why didn't we listen to Christians? WHYY?""

You will be oh so weak and oh so thirsty. But you will never ever get a moments of relief, or even a drop of water.

Ah, hell. "Justice" by an entity too dumb/cruel to let the punishment fit the 'crime'.

Nothing more than a boogeyman for adult children.

Does Valhalla exist?

Many, Christians in particular, say it doesn't.

But I have news for you: It does.

People go there all the time.

People went there yesterday. People will go there today. People will go there tomorrow.

The concern, of course, is for all those who won't get to go there because, despite all the evidence for the existence of Valhalla, they still refuse to accept the reality of the situation and stubbornly refuse to bend their knee to the AllFather.

Of course, Odin can't allow such a slight to go unanswered, so all the non believers are not allowed in and must spend their eternities in the Frozen Wastes with Loki.

Now, others will cite yet other people for their experiences in the "afterlife".

I won't. I'll cite my own experiences.

After a serious motorcycle accident a number of years ago, my heart stopped beating for nearly two minutes. I found myself in a great hall surrounded by people from all over the world. I was greeted by the Lady Sif, who took me by the hand and showed me around Valhalla.

There was much eating and quaffing and making merry, but I heard wailing from outside and enquired with the Lady as to the source of the sound. She led me to the great doors and we looked outside. There, frozen as a sign to the others, were the figures of religious leaders, Popes and Bishops, Pastors and Imams, all screaming in their eternal torment that they would never be allowed to enter the Great Hall and bask before the AllFather's Might.

Then the Lady told me that now was not my time. But she promised me that my place was reserved.

So, please don't let Loki trick you into not believing in the AllFather.

Hey, Truey, shouldn't you also have a ™ after your name?

[CapnAwesome]

*Yawn*

[The Valkyrie]

When you are dead you will be screaming and crying saying "Why oh why didn't we listen to Christians? WHYY?""

You will be oh so weak and oh so thirsty. But you will never ever get a moments of relief, or even a drop of water.

I won't be doing that.

I'll be ash.

That which makes me "me" will dissipate and be gone.

Does oblivion scare you, Truey?
