Many churches talk about Satan and hell. Everyone I ever went to does and did. MSNBC had a blip about this amazing thing that the POPE I tell you the POPE says there really is a HELL. IMAGINE THAT. They were shocked.

Well... this ought to make a few liberal Catholic priests start squirming in their vestments.

Even though I am not Catholic, I like this Pope. He is a good Christian and is seems to be Europe's secular conscience.
But I have a very serious question: does Jesus ever use grim reaper samurai to collect good ghost and eliminate the bad? A friend who I asked looked at me as if I were out of my mind and told me I was watching to much TV. I still think it is possible.

Hell is a place where sinners really do burn in an everlasting fire, and not just a religious symbol designed to galvanize the faithful, the Pope has said.
In 1999 Pope John Paul II declared that Heaven was neither an abstraction nor a physical place in the clouds, but that fullness of communion with God which is the goal of human life. Hell, by contrast, was the ultimate consequence of sin itself . . . Rather than a place, Hell indicates the state of those who freely and definitively separate themselves from God, the source of all life and joy.
Is the current Pope saying that the last Pope was mistaken in thinking that hell was not a "place"?

I wonder if the Pope believes that Islamic terrorists are going to burn in hell. How about Saddam Hussein and his henchmen, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Kim, Chavez, Castro, and the Democrats?

In October the Pope indicated that limbo, supposed since medieval times to be a halfway house between Heaven and Hell, inhabited by unbaptised infants and holy men and women who lived before Christ, was only a theological hypothesis and not a definitive truth of the faith.Is this the same thing as "Purgatory"?

I just hope the Pope doesnt end up apologizing for saying this like he apologized for offending the muzzies. After all, there has to be some atheist out there who are offended by this.

It's separation from God. That's all I need to know to not want to end up there.
I am a Christian because of grace, not because of fear of bad stuff, though I acknowledge that the bad stuff is bad.

A question I had in sixth grade that never got a real answer:
God creates us with a free will. God is omniscient. He knows before we are created by Him how we will exercise our 'free will'. Therefore He knows which of us will reject Him and, by this standard, be condemned to an eternity of suffering. Why would a loving, omniscient God create a soul that He knows before its creation will, after a cosmic blink-of-the-eye called life, be consigned to hell?
