Hypothetical: you die and go to hell for all eternity Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Would you be a bit depressed at how your life (and death) turned out, or do you think that you'd be able to just roll with the punches?

Yes. In the late fall of 1999, the long-absent werefox posted an identical thread.

Are you asking if we would be upset about how our life on earth was?

Or are you asking if we would be upset about getting sent to hell?

Well, if you are in hell, I think the suffering makes either hoice sort of irrelevant.

I think the very point of hell is to be beyond something that can be handled. Otherwise it really wound't be hell, now would it?

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

If the body is all that there is and the soul is an abstract 'spiritual thing', then I don't see how a soul could suffer, at least in the depiction of hell is filled with fire and brimstone or torture. How can fire even HURT an abstract spiritual entity? We can never envisage or understand either hell or heaven, so there's really no point in talking about this.

The fires of hell are the spiritual torture of never-ending unrequited hate, greed, lust, wrath, pride, envy and whatever that you have allowed to get between you and the spiritual purity of the grace of God. When you're in hell those negative feelings have nowhere to go excvept for right back at you.

It would be pointless to put me in hell, because I am none of those things.

Oh, and the self-delusions people practice in the vain attempt to deny their sins will be stripped away as they come to realize that they only fooled themselves.

I gather Hell is infinitely large. So any finite amount of emotions going into infinity is... nothing. Hell should be freezing.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

From my understanding of the Bible, Hell is essentially an absence of God. While there may literally be a lake of fire, and such, the only truly definitive thing we know about Hell is that God will not be a part of it.

Increase Your PM Length

Admitting you are these things is the first step in avoiding them.

As for me, it would really suck to go to hell, and miss out on heaven. That would be the punishment more than anything else to see what I was missing out on.

I suspect the conversation in Hell would be better.

Though it would be just my luck to be stuck in a very small room with Jerry Falwell and the massed ranks of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
