[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a Christian, I believe in hell. My pastor described hell not as the traditional fiery pit of torture and physical agony, but as a place of absolute isolation of a human soul from love and peace and everything they love, all goodness and light, because of the willful rejection of God. I guess if my religion is wrong and I die and disappear into nothingness, ok. If people who willfully reject God are wrong, the afterlife for them will be pretty bad, for eternity, as pp states above. [/quote]

Love this.

If I’m wrong, nothing will happen. 
If they’re wrong, they’ll have to suffer for eternity.

Crazy how people can’t recognize how damaged their minds have become. [/quote]

This is called “Pascal’s Wager”, and it is fallacious thinking because it assumes a binary choice is between your god and no god.

What if the Scientologists are the one’s who are right?  Or some religion you haven’t discovered?

At least we agree with your last point.[/quote]

We are in agreement. My sarcasm didn’t come through.

The original pp stated with such arrogance about the version of hell she believes in, like it’s supposed to convey some sort of humanity. 
Then basically admits that their religion confirms people to an eternity of “pretty bad” happenings if their religion is right. But if other people’s beliefs are right, nothing happens them.

Which actually conveys love and humanity? Which prefers a rather sadistic punishment?

I loved the irony. [/quote]

I don’t think a human soul disappearing into nothingness is good. An absolute extinction everyone who ever lived, is preferred? [/quote]

A body of atoms going back to the universe as atoms vs eternity in a very bad place called Hell.

Yeah, definitely preferred.

Or reincarnation vs a very bad place called Hell.

Yeah, definitely preferred.

So chilling in paradise with your loved ones for eternity is second to going back to atoms in the universe? [/quote]
