"In all cultures and religions, people have a HELL"
Uh... no. Not true. Not all religions/cultures do.
"Is it coincidence that ALLL religions and cultures have a type of hell they believe in? Does this not prove that there might actually be a LORD CREATOR KING OF KINGS?"
No.
People create religions to control the populaces behaviour. Afterlifes are a good way to introduce a placebo positive/negative reward.
Even if I granted you that all religions did have a hell, all that implies is that religious founders all thought that negative inforcement for pecieved wrongdoers would keep people in line.
"And If someone commits murder or rape or child sexual abuse, zoophilia, do you seriously think there ain’t no payment for those actions?"
Yes. I do think that. Because what I do/don't believe has nothing to do with what I would /prefer/ to be true.
I don't think hell is a good/moral deterrent to crime, but supposing I did, that doesn't change anything about the fact the claim is completely unfounded.
"WATCH THE FOLLOWING VIDEOS BELOW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK. THEIR DESCRIPTION OF HELL IS VERY SIMILAR."
And it means nothing.
I don't care how many accounts you have like this, the plural of 'anecdote' is not 'evidence'.
Meaning that no amount of testimony for something that testimony would be insuffient to prove, will ever be convincing.
When people are passed out or technically dead, their minds do strange things. And often to fill in that... missing time from when they weren't conscious, their minds will create memories. Memories that typically adhere to their pre-existing beliefs.
If X-number of people being in this situations and having accounts of hell is evidence that a hell exists, then other people also being brought back from near-death /without/ claiming to see an afterlife is evidence that there isn't one, right?
Of course not. Because that would conflict with the claim you want to believe and therefore isn't worth considering.
"All cultures and religions", you say. Well, there is no hell in Judaism, unless you're thinking of the West Bank or the Gaza strip.
Hell isn't real, because it can't be real. I mean, just think about it. A place of ETERNAL, excruciating torment that exists for people who simply made the "mistake" of trying their best in an imperfect world, as God supposedly created them. Does that make sense to you? How could a system like this ever be considered to be just, when the punishment is so grossly disproportionate to the "crime"?
You rightly used the word "believe." The concept of "Hell" is a human one often reserved for those who subscribe to Judeo-Christian beliefs. People came up with this concept, but why? As with many religious belief systems, such concepts often initially arose as a means of explaining phenomena that were not well understood or as a system of laws that depict what a specific population accepts as its societal norms among other reasons. Since these were first written down and passed on to the masses, individuals and groups have made use of such beliefs for a variety of purposes including more nefarious ones such as a means to attain and maintain power. The concept of Hell has withstood the test of time for reasons beyond any biblical or empirical foundations given how it makes people feel. Life is complicated. Many want to believe that there's a payoff in the end for all of life's struggles and experiences when they die whether it be to ascend to a utopian Heaven, descend into a punishing Hell, or other one of many other beliefs about the afterlife. Whether or not Hell is an actual place might not be as important as what it represents to people or the ways that it affects how people live.
the place where people are tortured
in fire when they REJECT JESUS CHRIST
is called outer darkness
its where atheist and non believers go,
its a GIANT SNAKE that circles the earth
and they are put inside of it to be tortured
the body of the snake will be in the video
watch the whole thing

I've been to Hell and back. I had a prophetic dream in which I was thrown into the Firey Furnace of Hell, temporarily.
I objected and told the Angel that I had lived a more righteous life than that and deserved a better end. The Angel then let me out of the furnace.
No but in a relationship at I believe when we pass on it is based on our belief system. We create our own version of reality after death also meet other souls.
So if we believed we think we should be in hell because we been not nice person eg killed people or bad crimes. Wether it unconsciously or consciously That person will create that hell after death. I also believe in after death we teview go through I life what we could of done better? Where we went wrong? Stuff like that which helps learning in the next life of when past on.
As Muslims, we believe in Hell. And I guess Islam is one of the religions that has descirbed Hell in great details. I guess Islam's Hell is the most frightening of all!!
These idiots didn't go to hell as they would have to be dead and face Judgement Day first. Once you are in hell you wouldn't be leaving. Besides, hell was made for the devil and his angels. What men get is to be banished to the "outer darkness" where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. You will be able to see Heaven but you can't go there because there is a great gulch, as it were, "That no one can cross"
To be perfectly honest yes I do but I have had glimpses of it in the 4 years I spent in Iraq as US ARMY SCOUT SNIPER, and the Second 4 Years as USAF PJ in Afghanistan so in the end I had the world's greatest dog lol he's years old and still active and kicking
I'm a fan of Pascal's wager. I'm a sinner, but I try to hold on to the good parts of my Catholic upbringing while setting aside a lot of the mind prison and nonsensical dogmatic aspects.
So I'm sure if there is one I'll be judged fairly for good or ill.
Sure , I belive in hell and heaven. But do not believe the people who said they was there once lol by the way , most of the people who do not believe in a creator only think about the hell not the heaven and I find this very ironic ;)
No as it's just a silly and unimaginative idea as surely if one has the ability to torture people for all of time then you also have the ability to the start rehabilitation therapy's for those people so they learn to be good citizens again
I do believe in Hell. I believe the only way to escape it is the atoning blood of Christ.
u yes... and I think it's here on this earth and we're living in it
and then there's the truly one, the one we cannot ever escape and it is in our minds
Yes, I really hope there is a Hell and really bad people end up there.
It’s life. A whole bunch of challenges with (if you are lucky) just enough happiness and decency in between to keep you pressing forward.
No I don’t believe people go to a place of eternal torment by simply disagreeing and not following a set of beliefs.
It's the only way religion can influence and manipulate people to follow their agenda and morals - by fear. Heaven and Hell have no proof of existing.
Not in All cultures and religions. That is not accurate. But it is interesting to see similarities in those that do have it.
Listening to people drone on about imaginary afterlife happenings and horribly torturous places unless you subscribe to their beliefs... that's the only kinda hell i believe in.
sure. but only as a state of mind. not as a real place.
nope, just people wish there was one to take revenge on bad people. but we need to take that revenge in our own hands to make justice in teh world
I do believe in it, but it’s hard to imagine anything worse than what’s already going on in the world.
nope rather believe earth is flat than believe hell exist.
