Hell

Do you believe it exists? If so, what is your idea of it?

Re: Hell

I do, there has to be a place where all the evil in this world has to be punished.

Re: Hell

I think there is a heaven and a Hell..... But also i think that the world we live on right now is HELL because of the hatred, war, racism, etc, but we learn how to deal with it and the things we goe through in life , also i think heaven can be here right now too on this world, because we are loved, happy, and feel warm inside that is heaven to me. I can be wrong but that is my therory!

Re: Hell

To answer the question, no, I do not believe in hell.

Re: Hell

I voted no. In all honesty, I like to believe that life...what we're going through right now...is the tough part. We're put here, we only have so many years to try to fulfill our dreams, never knowing how long we have. We lose loved ones, we hear atrocities on the news, we see things with our own eyes that no one would ever want to see.

I think what we're going through now is the tough part. Hopefully after we die, things will be easier. That's what I like to believe, anyway.

Re: Hell

There has to be punishment for the true evil in life...if not, I have to rethink a whole helluva lot

Re: Hell

I haven't entirely decided if if i believe there is an afterlife at all... so i answered no.

Re: Hell

I don't believe it exists as an actual place. Hell is a separation from God. I believe that while we are here on Earth we are required to do the best we can and be the best we can. If we don't achieve what we are supposed to, when we die we are sent back to try again. That is the hell part. We are denied access to God. Once we fulfill what we are meant to, we are released from our earthly bonds and are united with God.

On the other hand, I could be way off base. Sooner or later, I'll find out.

Re: Hell

i don't believe in heaven or hell. i just can't rationalize it. i believe that when you die, that's it...kind of like when you're sleeping you don't know you've been sleeping until you wake up. but in this case, you wouldn't wake up

Re: Hell

All kidding aside, I practice Buddhism, so here is my perspective (well - not exactly MY perspective - I don't make up religions... yes, I know - bridentology.... we're gonna let that slide )

There are different levels or realms - there is the human realm, where we all are, and there are many different levels. The laws of karma govern where you are going to be and how your life is going to be - based on ALL your past lives - so even if you are perfect in this lifetime, the suffering you go thru are from previous lifetimes, until your "debt" is paid off, so to speak. So that can be pretty hellish.

Buddhists also believe in hell realms, with demons and fire and all that, but I do not believe in it.

I believe VERY strongly in rebirth, and believe that each rebirth it is your duty to reach enlightenment and learn from yuor experiences or you are doomed to repeat certain aspects of the current lifetime in future lifetimes.

This is why you have the parents you have, to learn from it. the partners you are with. even your children. NOTHING is an accident. Everything happens for a reason. It is all a part of your lesson.

So - once again, I am going to say that hell only exists if you do not learn the lesson and try to fix it. Hell is living over and over again like a broken "record" (remember those? ) without fixing the mistake

I also believe in the premise of Jacob's Ladder (the movie) - I have mentioned this before - demons are really angels that try and get you to let go of attachments so that you can be free. the harder you cling to your delusions, the more they become like demons.
