When I was young, I used to be very scared of hell especially when in church and the preacher narrated the horrors of hell, but now things have changed.

I don't know maybe because eyes has seen many things in three decades of my existence, really don't get scared of hell fire anymore.

Anytime someone or pastors talk about it, it sounds like every other takes to me, I think something is wrong with me, does anyone here now feel the same way?

Men of God in the house please how can I go back to my former self and start believing hell is real?
Go back to your first love

Because it isn't real and just a psychological trick to keep you invested in the religion. Islam has the threat of killing you, Christianity has the threat of hell, all in a bid to make sure you don't leave.
EXACTLY. PURE PSYCHOLOGICAL MANIPULATION.

Is it okay that you psychologically and logically analyzed the origin of hell and heaven but leave out if not justice should exist or not.

You claim the idea of hell is unrealistic and you are right, your idea of hell is very unrealistic.

One you claim it was marketed to slaves? What then did those who "market" it to them gain? Loyal slaves? Do you think men are all fools because they suffer?


"The slaves didn't have the strength or courage to physically fight back and free themselves, they couldn't take proper revenge, so they turned to psychological revenge" this shows you lack knowledge of history, do you know how many times slaves has fought, how some have won and some have lost. Even at the heart of some of those victories were as a result of the very book called bible where the Christianity you mention as a slave religion actually brought liberation to a lot.

Now because people use the truth for a lie doesn't mean the truth is a lie, even common sense would tell you that.

While would, "Only a bitter, frustrated and petty soul would invent such a place."

It is only those who enjoy the benefits of oppression that would feel this way, why? Is it a crime to cry out for justice, to wish for it, to dream for it but you not only deny their cries but you call them bitter, frustrated and petty soul. Only a hopeless person in bondage can write such words as you have.

And though you claim such nonsense as it being a slave religion, you say Jesus forgave his enemies isn't that also the lie slave traders used to surpress the cries for justice.

And note Jesus didn't forgive his enemies, he forgave those who were ignorant. YHVH said seat till I crush all your enemies till they become your footstoll.

You think the Jews were forgiven go and read what Jesus said to them and what occured in 70AD, you think Judas was forgiven. How you seat and assume that punishment for wickedness is unrealistic can only come from a heart who is hopeless towards such and as sided with the benefits of wickedness
All these rambling is quite unnecessary..

All you have to do is provide proof of your claim to the existence of hell..

The crazy thing about you lot is that you can see how crazy other religions sounds..

But you want others to believe your own crazy is different?

What a fallacious response.

So as govt have the threat of throwing you in prison, or your boss has the threat of sacking you, they are not real, right?
There are physical and tangible proofs of the govt or a boss doing that. However, one can not say the same for this 'God'.

There are Prisons everywhere..

Concrete and verifiable..

Where is the verifyable evidence of the hell that you threaten people with?
it's not a threat that you die, is it.

Don't assume what I preach if you don't listen to me. Do you even know that hell will be destroyed in lake of fire.

I tell you to flee God's wrath and coming judgement, repent and do what is right, seek the kingdom of God and receive the gift of God, the Holy Spirit our assurance for eternal life.

You want proof there is hell then go there through death. You think justice began with humans, do you see justice among animals? You want a physical picture of a place you don't go with your physical body.

Do you know what a nightmare is, when a person who is asleep on a fine soft bed yet they find themselves tormented somewhere else.

A beautiful grave will not comfort a soul in hell

The word "Fallacy" is clear enough. fallacy Noun: 'a failure in reasoning which renders an argument invalid."

And I have already pointed out the failure of your reasoning which is why you are making all these mad noises.

And see how you are Lying openly like Satan. (Obviously, Satan has restarted his torment of jacking your strings)

In India, Naraka (Sanskrit: नरक), also called Yamaloka, is the Hindu equivalent of Hell, where sinners are tormented after death.

In China, hell is
Diyu (traditional Chinese: 地獄; simplified Chinese: 地狱; pinyin: dìyù; lit. 'earth prison') is the realm of the dead or "hell" in Chinese

SO THEY KNOW ABOUT HELL! SO YOU ARE LYING

And knowing you are Lying you decided to speak like a mad person in talking left and right at the same time, saying one time "they never heard about it", only to immediately cancel it by saying "Even if they have".

Satan has obviously return to you and entered you so your Madness and Lyings have begun
None of those traditions says anything about FIRE and eternal torture, so STOP LYING.

SECONDLY, YOU ARE AN AFRICAN.

The FIRST PLACE TO INQUIRE, if you weren’t brainwashed to hate your own traditional spirituality, is from your OWN traditional priests.

They will tell you there is NO SUCH PLACE AS HELLFIRE, AND THAT YOU ARE AN IMMORTAL SOUL.

And that is the TRUTH.

African spirituality is the FATHER AND MOTHER of every spiritual tradition on Earth, and that is where you should go for the TRUTH.

That's a concrete verifyable phenomena..

It is not my duty to provide proof about the existence of hellfire..

That's squarely on YOU..

Telling me to first die before I can proof about hell is hogwash..

Have you died and proven the existence of hell?

UTTER RUBBISH AND LIES.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO WORSHIP ANYBODY OR “BELIEVE IN” ANY RELIGION TO TRANSIT BACK TO YOUR REAL HOME IN THE AFTERLIFE, THE LAND OF THE ANCESTORS.

TAKE THOSE RUBBISH EUROPEAN LIES WHICH THEY THEMSELVES HAVE ABANDONED, AND THROW IT IN THE DUSTBIN WHERE IT BELONGS.

TODAY THERE ARE MILLIONS OF STORIES FROM NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCERS, AND THEY ALL CONFIRM THAT WE ALL TRANSIT TO THE AFTERLIFE AS A MATTER OF COURSE, REGARDLESS OF RELIGION.

IT IS A NATURAL, IMMEDIATE TRANSITION BACK TO YOUR SOUL STATE, AND IT IS SAID TO BE AN OVERWHELMINGLY BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE WHICH HUMAN WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE.

rambling? Are you the one I quoted?

Did you read what I responded to, "Because the very idea of hell is unrealistic..." was he asking for proof?
You call something crazy but are you being sensible?

Have you already asked me for proof which I have responded to you, but now this nonsense attack you are generalizing and quoting me for. Did that post attempt or try to prove hell is real?

If you think we are crazy why are you now talking to crazy people, if you are don't think others are as well.

Please respect yourself and don't come referring to people as crazy that's not what sane mature respectable people do

I didn't say they were not, but how can you be tormented by a dream even though your physical body is comfortably sleeping.

They have "explanation" for a lot of things but very few solutions to anything.

You call it supernatural weird and comfort yourself with their "explanation" you can go ahead with your life and not disturb yourself that "it is just a mere reoccurring dream" that doesn't affect your physical life.

They also have explanations for coma, brain dead, and for some reason they study and investigate the existence of the soul. Why would they whom you claim to listen to try to understand the very things you call "supernatural weird stuff"

You deceive yourself first by denying what you experience and if you can do that then will you even believe what is real if it causes you the same discomfort.


Honestly like I said initially the existence of hell shouldn't be a disturbance to any good person honestly. Like do you go about your daily life as "an upright citizen" being afraid or scared of prison.

If it exists what can you do about it
If it doesn't would that make you feel free to be wicked
Or are you looking to make a contract with hell.

Concern yourself more with if heaven is real or not, if those who do good would be rewarded

So because I make an observation about something I used to do, means am yearning for it?🤦🏽

It's normal for kids to be scared of fairy tales.
Such fears go away when adulthood sets in.
As kids, we were scared of masquerades because we were told they are spirits not humans.
We used to cry our eyes out anytime we swallow African star apple seeds because we were told it will germinate in our stomach and grow out of our heads.
So many fairy tales!!
But now, we know better.
