    The fiery pit/dante’s hell version doesn’t actually exist in the bible. The main thing about hell is you don’t experience god’s love/presence, which is weird but a lot better than an eternity of torture.

      If you experience god’s presence please consult with your psychiatrist, I’m not joking lol

        People who think God has talked to them are just people who really sure about a thought they had

        I’m just referring to what’s in the bible, I’m agnostic. (Incidentally, I only became agnostic after reading the book of job)

      What about the post right above you?

      into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

      God’s love seems a little temperamental and reserved for some nasty people. I think I’m good on God’s love.

        Oh he is, but that post above is Mathew talking.

        The example Id use is the book of Job. Basically Satan and God conspire to make a faithful guy’s life horrible.

      So why have churches been threatening their victims with hell for centuries? Could it be they all make it up as they go along?
