Are You Afraid Of Hell? How To Throw Your Fear In The Trash Bin by benzics(m): 7:34am On Jan 15, 2017 |
I've encountered a lot of theists, Christians, most of whom are now deists or atheists, during my discussions with them, I found out that they were all scared of death, and scared of hell , I remember I once had that feeling, but now I just laugh when someone says am going to hell, because "hell" sounds like a place I want to live in I saw a post by NewAtheist , blaming Christians for destroying his infant mind with the thoughts of hell, I can totally relate bro. That's why I keep saying "Teaching religion to little children is child abuse!" Most Christians won't know this, because apparently Theists don't know they are sick, until they taste another part of life! So many people find it hard believing that heaven and hell are all made up, because of the effects of indoctrination in them, so if you think heaven and hell is real, you may consider this.. You shouldn't be scared of hell because, if there is a hell: All the great and good people will be in hell How would you feel being in a heaven with the man who murdered your family, but he later begged god for forgiveness? Like being in Heaven with Ibrahim shekau? Or being in hell with Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton (trust me, even though he believed in a higher power, he didn't believe in the religious god, which is one criteria for entering "heaven", so he's probably in hell ), all the good people who didn't believe in a God, and you can deal with bad people in hell too, since you are still with your free will.. . you can't burn in hell You feel burns because of the presence of the sensory nerves in your body, which you'll be leaving on earth when you die, so why are you even bothered? In hell, you are with your free will and in your right senses Unlike in "heaven" where there will be no free will, because there will no longer be sin... Which means you can't get angry at Adolf Hitler for causing the Holocaust, so you are f*cked! Heaven sounds like the real hell Are you really in Heaven if all you do, daily, for months, for years, for eternity is to worship God, nothing else, no sex,no movies, you won't even recognize your wife and kids, all you do is worship God all day long for eternity... Won't you prefer to be in hell and chat with intelligent minds amidst the "pains"? Tell funny jokes and laugh your arses out? Isn't that more fun? Am just going to stop here, are you afraid of hell? Don't be! Hell is just a concept that scare the sh-it out of cowards! Enjoy life, don't struggle for an after life that doesn't exist! You've got only one life though..

Christian heaven doesn't even make sense either The Bible doesn't say much about what heaven is supposed to be like. Most of the claims about heaven are exaggerations of the Bible. The Bible says the Gates are made of pearl. What are the gates for? Are they made just as an excuse to irritate clams? Are the gates supposed to keep someone out or to keep souls from escaping? The sales pitch for heaven is that there is only happiness and no sorrow. But it also says that many people's loved ones won't be there. Since they can't feel sorrow about that, are they ecstatic that their loved ones are being tortured forever? Either your memories are removed or your human empathy is removed. Is it really you that is left over once some parts of you have been removed? If life matters to me now, it will always have mattered to me, even when I am gone. Death cannot change that. Your best hope is to be locked in a gold cage with your memories of having an actual life being erased just so you can kiss ass for eternity. Life is pleasant, death is serene. The transition might be troublesome but we all have to go through it. You shouldn't fear death so much. Heaven and hell are imaginary. You should reject the indoctrination. Life is much better that way. HopefulLandlord has spoken 12 Likes 1 Share |

Lennycool: Hi, former Christian here. The concepts of God/heaven/hell seem like nonsense to me *now*, but I can sincerely attest to the deep visceral horror and terror those concepts can evoke in someone who has been brainwashed into them from birth - like me. It's hard to shake loose no matter how intelligent you are. Human beings are driven by emotion at least as much by reason (much as I am loth to admit it), so it didn't matter that I had been having doubts about religion since puberty. The very last thing I had to let go of in the deconversion process was that tiny little voice that kept going, "But what hell *is* real? If there's even the tiniest little chance it exists...you don't want to go there, do you?" That's the power of brainwashing. Intelligent kids are still kids, still susceptible to being deeply molded and influenced by the adults around them. When you've had something burned into your brain for as long as your conscious memory exists, it's super easy to mistake it for a fact of life. I created this thread on the types of fear I faced on my journey to atheism Fear of Hell was the worst but once you overcome that fear, you'll realise how absurd it all is; you'll kick yourself for having at any point believed such bullsheeet stories I consider the dogma of hell obscene, in the legal sense, in that it is vile, disgusting, immoral, harmful to children, appeals only to a prurient interest, tends to deprave and corrupt those who believe it, and is utterly devoid of any redeeming social, artistic, or moral value. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Jeromejnr: and what is this "Truth" if I may ask? I really feel sorry for believers when they say something so ridiculous as "you're going to hell" I see it as nothing more than a last ditch attempt to force me and others into their mass hysteria. Because as more and more people reject religion, those who do believe see that what they have been taught (brainwashed as children) is threatened. Religion relies on the masses to believe in it or it crumbles, just as all failed religions of the past. It's exactly the same as any mob mentality. Any belief that relies on FEAR is not worth believing in. 7 Likes 1 Share |

hopefulLandlord: I love your first question, "what is Truth?" Same question that was asked Jesus when he claimed that His words were Truth. The only person in history to ever authoritatively make that claim. Through that same person, the most powerful and enduring religion was born. Through that same person, historians and theologians have said: this is the person that has showed the perfect example of Love in all of existence. I don't know, what is so special about this person? Why is his Way the most attacked? The most persecuted? (Atheist, Muslims e.t.c) Is there really a Devil out there that inspires these things because he knows the way of this Man is the only true Way? (The truth). Why is it the Biblical version of hell is most attacked. I mean there are other religions with their own version init? I am just talking in d carnal now, as Paul said because of the weakness you now possess. Hell is real, hard to believe but also true. There are millions of ppl that ever existed that will be tormented without rest for all eternity. Eternity. If one could grasp how infinitely great the holiness of God is then one could easily understand. (As great and vast as the universe is) Isaiah 6. 1 Like |

Jeromejnr: everything you said up here is a blatant case of confirmation bias
again you're just committing Confirmation Bias your religion gives birth to more atheists than any other religion, so whatever version is yours would have to be attacked more, its common sense you guys just love the persecution mentality as some pointer to the validity of your belief Christians just have innately that " persecuted mindset" assume they are being attacked, so they'd have something to wail over even when they are the ones at the giving end. I am just talking in d carnal now, as Paul said because of the weakness you now possess.you know what's funny? knowing Christians like Wilgrea7 who doesn't believe hell is eternal 3 Likes |

U may not believe in the concept of hell but hell is as real as u and me. But before I explain, u must understand 3 points 1. We were made to serve God alone. (in other words, we are not supposed to have any rights at all) 2. Hell wasn't made for humans, only for the devil and his cohorts 3. The prophecies in the Bible are gradually coming to pass. (no matter how hard u try to console or deceive yourselves) Now,Adam and eve were so naive that they didn't even know they were naked . We were made not to think logically or be intelligent. We were just meant to be toys for God like other animals. But by virtue of the fact that They took the fruit which was forbidden It altered us and made us smarter and we now have to choose to follow God or the devil. We have the potential to be like God but we are cut short by death because Adam and eve were prevented from eating from the tree of life. We are the only species who are liable to judgement because we were the only species that ate the forbidden fruit. God loves us so much, u just don't know it. That's why he sent his son to come and show us the way. He knows it's not easy to serve him fully. Our righteousness is like filthy rags but he still loves us. Read Genesis chapter 3 1 Like |

hopefulLandlord: All these shouldn't be a surprise my man. The standard id Christianity is not to look at another christian but Christ Himself. There are so many ignorant Christians out there, fake Pastors, and ppl that assume tins. Even God Himself said "My People perish for lack of knowledge" My people; not atheists. But my people. Now why are there so many Christians out there like myself? Because they have experienced the supernatural. Why haven't you experienced it? Well I dont know, maybe you should be humble enough and ask God for yours. So therefore, I can confidently say there is no confirmation bias. Jesus is real, heaven is real, hell is real, the devil, Angels. All these realities exist and have been seen by some. Yea..including myself. So there is nothing you can do or say to convince us of your claims. The best we can do is just sit back and look at your "scientific and logical thesis" and say, If only they knew. Science is limited and can't explain what we experienced. At the end if the day it all boils down to faith. A prophet in the bible made Iron float and wood sink. Well, all we can say is "If only they knew". 1 Like |

Jeromejnr: are you sure you're not the one perishing? Wilgrea7 actually supported himself with quotes from the Bible, so I'm afraid you might be the wrong one here but that's no concern of mine
I'm afraid you just committed confirmation bias in your previous paragraphs Supernatural Experiences are not limited to a religion or a version of god, a Hindu claims one, Muslims, Christians, even Pagans claim to have one, you're yet to tell me why yours is special than theirs but just claim it (Aka confirmation bias)
so do other religions claim their own version of folklore is real
tell us a description of hell when you saw it So there is nothing you can do or say to convince us of your claims. sorry bro, you misunderstood me; I'm not making any claim here and I'm not here to convince you of anything

But, you know you cant know the truth except you experience it. Its just like tryna explain a tree to a man blind from birth. How do u start?

hopefulLandlord: I'm not the only one.. Adventists also and other denominations.. when i argue with christians or atheists using the bible and from the biblical standpoint, hell isn't an eternal something.. we aren't immortal souls.. etc evil will one day cease to exist.. i don't really argue the view much with other Christians cuz they feel i hold the view to promote sin.. which is a very dumb accusation by the way... but in the general sense.. in the worldview of all religions, i hold the view that the afterlife is either unknown or our beliefs play a role in our afterlife |

What kind of a father loves his children and burn them with gas and flames for stealing meat in his pot, ans: A MAD father! Stop saying God sent his son to save you, because Jesus himself is God to(according to you guys). So basically, God sent himself to be killed to himself, so he himself can save you from the things he himself is going to do to you if you don't believe that he died to save you, isn't that absurd?
