I don't want to hear about the brain from someone that doesn't have one.
Nor do I want to hear about evolution from someone that hasn't evolved.

The Definition of Hell is – ‘The absences of the ability to sense God’s presence in the spirit realm.’ To be cut off from the presence of God. |

The way I always see it, if you hold true to the Christian beliefs (or any other religion, for that matter) God will look favourably on you |

In the moment. The fire is not meant to be litrally burning, or the worms litrally eating the entity. They are not seen as physically discusting. It is all symbolic in it's meaning to convey the pain and description of this entity who disconnects from the source/soul. |

If god did exist, then there could not be a hell and god still be omnibenevolent. An omnibenevolent being is one whose actions are harmful to none and beneficial to all. Sending someone to hell would be harmful to them, and therefore, a god who sends people to hell cannot be omnibenevolent. |

See, this is exactly why religion is so difficult to take seriously. Everyone interprets what they read in a way that makes sense to them. Some people study both the natural history and the translations of the Bible and others just take the information that they've heard from a second hand source. |

In the moment you just have to realize your interpretation of it perhaps needs a bit of work, and that many people do interpret it yeah ofcourse as do you, And many people make mistakes. There is only one true interpretation, just because it is not said to be litral does not mean people are being relative about the way they interpret. If you think the sentences above are meant to be in a litral context, you are indeed far away from understanding. |

Use your common sense and intelligence. How else do you think you interpret it? |

I understand what he was talking about. That's why I made that reply. |

Nirvana, you have stated that there is "only one true interpretation" of the bible. I have two problems with this: you have never provided a viable mechanism for determining the allegorical nature of passages; and you have never shown how a particular interpretation of said passages can be shown to be true. You're answer of "Intelligence" fails on both counts. |
