Now, that's faith.
But I will say this-even the worst tyrants of history- Stalin, Mao, Hitler, etc, didn't torture their victims forever. I don't see how any decent and rational person can reconcile the concept of Hell with the concept that God is good
God is love. Love is a double-edge sword.
My view of Hell is that it's a place where God is not. God gives us a choice to be with Him forever or reject Him completely. To those who reject Him, he says "OK, you win. You don't want me around. Go here. I'm gone for good"
So every God-hater that ever lived ends up in the same place, left to their own devices. And that is Hell.
How about the idea that once you die, you're just dead. You cease to exist. You don't "go" anywhere.
Do you remember what it was like before you were born? Of course not. Same thing after you die.There is just oblivion, that's all
What I can't understand is why that is so frightening to people that they must create myths to stave off their fear of the inevitable.
To me, wanting to live forever seems to be the height of egocentricity.
