Does it ever occur to you just how childish, inane, and downright silly the concept of hell really is?
I mean, it worked on 4th graders at Catholic schools, but for adults? so silly.

Does it ever occur to you just how childish, inane, and downright silly the concept of hell really is? Yes the whole gospel of Christ is foolishness as it says in 1 Corinthians. But it is also true and hell is part of that gospel. Would a loving God make a Hell for people who He loved but didn't love Him? That is the classic question among free choice and predestination believers. Yes it seems a difficult question.
The more direct issue to a non-believer is, do you really think that you exist apart from God. Do you really think that life is an accident and that soon you will be dead. The bible says that if Jesus isn't raised from the dead than we might as well eat and drink and party because tomorrow, we die. This is the morbid reality of the athiest. I joined the Army as an athiest and asked for that on the religion field of my dog tag.

Hell: absence of hope and reconcilliation with the source?

Does it ever occur to you just how childish, inane, and downright silly the concept of hell really is? In order to establish whether the concept of hell is childish or silly, first you must define the concept of hell. There are many concepts of hell, even within Christianity, but other religions and belief systems have their own version. And once you establish clearly what you are referring to as childish and inane, is it objectively childish and inane, or just your opinion, the product of your own fruitful imagination? And if the concept of hell as childish, inane and downright silly is an objective truth, what authority established it as such, and is said authority in itself a fact, an undeniable, logically and objectively verifiable, fact?

Everyone who fears the punishment of God feels the same way as you do...pity.
