One thing is certain here and that is "You as a person find the very idea of hell repulsive and disturbing"

But let's be honest here the bible explicitly mentions a place of eternal punishment, you may try to rationalize these potions of the bible with your own interpretations [which is exactly the reason why we have almost 40,000 sects in Christianity]

Men always trying to dilute the very extreme measures of the bible with their own reason and opinion which gives rise to distinct interpretations for one potion of the bible.

Because we know if Christians were not subtle as to dump literal followership of the bible, they'd be more dangerous and extreme than muslims - but to this Saint Augustine once bemoaned.

"Anyman that believes a part of the scripture and reject the others, do not believe the scripture but himself"

The place of burning torment as a punishment for transgressors [Lake of fire, hell fire] is an intricate part of both the bible [NT] and the fundamental Christian doctrine..

You may argue that it never was part of the attributes of Yahweh as a Judaic deity and that'd be correct but as a Christian Deity, hell fire is a very intrinsic parcel of yahweh.

hopefulLandlord:
taking a simple look at his profile, he's not active in the religion section

he most likely just thought the question up and asked it which isn't strange since we see many such threads that have been trashed before
get opened again and again

anyways, I just don't accept the question being "stupid"

cheers

hopefulLandlord:
is that what makes his question "stupid"?

and he should "leave atheists alone and live his life" just like you've been doing

hopefulLandlord:
who is the judge of a question being stupid or not

the monicker asked a question and people are already giving answers cue you calling stupid

"Leave atheists alone and face your life"

Coming from you, The irony of that statement is huge

sokar:
Atheists never claimed to know the origin of the universe, there are only scientific theories to the possible origin for now.
On the other hand, could you tell me the origin of God?

panafrican:

reason for this post is -don't listen to the christians and moslems ,i love nairaland the way it is ,aren't you proud nairaland is raising a greater generation free from superstition and tribalsim found in religion,aren't you proud you have accomplished what even tai solarin,wole soyinka,adejobi etc never achieved most of is who are atheist,theist,deist trace our salvation to nairaland ,go on the social media today see the great changes taken place,,arent you proud my brother.If you don't know kindly logout of nairaland and see the great revolution taking place in Nigeria; back then if he a child is accused of witchcraft on the topic trends on facebook ,you see nigerians supporting such defamation but these days have you seen such?lots of people have been saved on nairaland from the evils in religion,religion also has some good in it nevertheless we need to raise a NIGERIA free from the incursion of religion into poltics,science and education

stephenmorris:
very very good,see no one gives a damn if you are an atheist or a christian but don't just disturb the peace of others,,,
congrats bro ,you have taken the path of benjamin franklin

Vick4rill:
bro, we the xtians dont care, it is ur life live it as u want.if u are truly free as u proclaim, u shldnt ve broadcast it in order to get affirmation.this goes a long way to show that u still doubt ur new faith. pls b4 ur colleagues comes here to applaud u. have it at the back of ur mind that there are millions and billions of great and wonderful people, who still worship this God

Wilgrea7:
pls mr correct teaching state how my teaching is false and give proofs or else stop calling a black pen blue simply because u want it to be blue

Wilgrea7:
oga encountered personally so ure saying the rest are false. then why are near death experiences contradictory??

Wilgrea7:
Ok so u want to base your proof of hell on Near Death Experiences (NDE)... ok . You have Google... research NDE's. you'll find out that most people who have such are people that are fundamentalist Christians.. I've seen stories of Muslims who claim such but became stronger in their faith.. Also 80% of near death experiences aren't about hell.. and many people who claim to have been taken to the underworld or where u will call hell claim there is no fire there

what of Christians who died and came back and said hell isn't real??

pls get ur facts well... google is your friend

Wilgrea7:
Oga pls stop being biased and stubborn... I am a Christian but my problem with the ones that claim they are Christians is that they don't sit down and judge facts well.. Even the bible you claim so much never said hell was eternal... oga go sleep abeg.. instead of u to be preaching love you're scaring people with a place of eternal fire.. If the gift of God is eternal life and only the righteous get the gift then that how will people suffer in hell for all eternity

A man was good and upright throughout his whole life but just because of one lie he told by mistake he goes to hell for ever and ever and ever..... no end

Is it just??

I was as dogmatic as you before... but i thank God that he liberated me from the shackles of stupidity.

lordnicklaus:
You clearly cannot prove to me the existence of such place of dire torture without quoting the stupid claims of people going to hell and returning. Are you so childish? What makes you think I believe stories of people going to hell and returning and also giving contradictory descriptions of an eternal incinerator?

lordnicklaus:
And what makes you think Jesus actually taught such, or don't you know of additions and interpolations found in biblical manuscripts? The hell fire shenanigan was a later addition to sacred text and cannot be found in the oldest manuscripts of Matthew and Mark.

lordnicklaus:
Of course, hell fire doesn't drive morally convicted people to church but people who feel insecure often go to church for fear of hell. If you have also proven that hell fire doesn't indeed move people to church, then why teach such demeanor in the first place?
