    I believe in a "hell", but not a firey one, or the one described by bible thumpers. More like the mental anguish of falling short of our true potential...etc. etc.

    I know for a fact that it is a fiery liquid. In fact I have a bottle of it in my collection of sauces. It's called "Jamaican Hell Fire".

    The idea that God has a BBQ pit located somewhere in the center of the earth where humans scream as they are being tortured over and over in fire is about the sickest concept in the history of humankind.

    There are various views on this doctrine. "The Fire that Consumes" by Edward Fudge is an extremely thorough treatise on this topic. It advances the idea that the Bible teaches that hell does exists, but it is only temporary and those judged to be evil perish there.

    No, I'll never believe that bull. What I came to realize over the years, however, is that the WT uses "death at Armageddon" the same way fundies use "eternal torment in hell" - the end result? Manipulated people serving out of fear instead of love.

    I went to a Baptist church last week at the invitation of one of my supervisors at work. In some ways, I enjoyed the service. The preacher was sincere enough. They sang a song called "Victory in Jesus" that I was liking some. But, the preacher mentioned hell (and though he didn't speak of it as a place of eternal conscious torment, I was in a Baptist church, I knew what he meant) - So guess what? I'm never going back. I'm not done searching though. I plan on visiting another church in my area this Sunday.

    Nope. I do not believe in hell. I believe in some type of afterlife, but more like reincarnation, but eventually when your soul reaches its potential you get to reside with the supreme being. I guess hell would be never reaching that, but you still always have a chance, so hey there is no hell...
