is this a true...? do you believe that....?

No I don't believe that.

I dont believe in that either

No... I dont believe that either. I don't personally believe in an afterlife,
I think we get the one chance at this and we had better make the most of it.

Hell is what you make it.

I hope so...I need to stay warm...

then hell is not in canada

No...sadly it's not...

HI....EVERY BODY...

A LECH NEVER LEAVE HIS ONE EDGE UNTIL CATCH A THING BY HIS OTHER END.

WHEN YOU DIE YOU NEVER DIE UNTIL CATCHING ANOTHER LIFE

yeah I've already been THERE..

OOOWW ..MY HEART IS REALLY WARM....

YEAH..THAT'S WHY YOUR FACE IS VERY FAMILIAR TO ME...

I think its funny, in a really sad way, how people feel if they don't believe something to be true, then it must not be. Like they can prove the law of gravity wrong by believing if they jump off a tall building they will not fall. If it's true, then what you believe is irrelevant.

Now the question of eternal flames is very interesting indeed. What is really burning in hell? Is it your physical body? Or your eternal soul? Since your body is not eternal, believing it will burn forever doesn't make much sense. But your soul, or spirit as some want to call it, is a different story.

Most people don't like the idea that they will have to pay for the wrong things they have done in life. They like the idea of someone who has done worse than they have (like a thief or a murderer) being held accountable for that person's actions, but not themselves. "I'm not that bad." or "I haven't done really bad things." or "There are a lot that are worse than me." seems to be their only defense.

Or some just want to think that if there is a God, he will have mercy on them. But if he has mercy on everyone that wants it, then what good is he. What if no one has to pay for what they have done, no matter how bad it was? Everyone got off scot free. I kinda think of God as perfect. And yes, though that would make Him perfectly merciful, it would also make Him perfectly just. And if His justice was perfect, then could he let anyone off for their offenses. Would a judge, who let any criminal go free for no reason, be considered perfect?

I am not going to go into the whole heaven and hell discussion now because most people can't handle it. There is an incredible mystery about heaven that many people miss. Sadly many people sitting in churches this sunday will miss heaven because they don't know what it is.

If you have decided not to agree with me because you just don't want to, then there is nothing I can do to change your mind. But if your open minded, and would like to discuss it more, I am more than glad to.

''HELL''= According to load BUDDHAH.. ''HELL(NIRAYA/APAYA)'' is one of the four lower courses of existence(apaya=the four lower worlds...the world of animals, of ghosts, of demons and hell).
the buddhists are well aware that on account of the universal sway of impermanence a life in hell,as in heaven, cannot last eternally, but wil after exhaustion of the ''karma'' which has caused the respective form of rebirth, necessarily be followed again by a new death and a new rebirth, according to the stored-up ''karma''.

What a beautiful concept Ravaana - very well said and thank you

Reincarnation is such an interesting concept. But what never made sense to me is why am I left ignorant of my past life? I mean how can I pay for or reap the rewards for a past life if I don't have any idea what I did. It just doesn't make sense, usless I am looking for a way to avoid thinking about actually facing a judgement.

You see where reincarnation leaves you lost and thus without hope, an actual judge will tell you right where you are... and where you are going.

So, what would be your alternative hypotheis Mike - the question was on 'hell' which is a widely held theory concerniing pain, fire, eternity and damnation
