god made hell... doesn't make sense

question for those who believe in hell...

alright, from a traditional protestant christian perspective god made hell for satan and his followers.

let's look at it logically...

the reason for its creation was because sin cannot be in heaven, a place of perfection.

it is described as a place of torture by fire and brimstone.

my question is...what does god have to gain by torturing those who are already damned to eternal seperation???

i can understand a void that is absent of "god" but what good is the punishment on top of the seperation? once a person is in hell (traditionally speaking) there is no hope of redemption, so the torture cannot be for any redemptive purpose. the only other purpose that i could even imagine would be for some sedistic satisfaction by its creator. that doesn't sound like god to me...

i am especially interested in comments from people who hold a belief in hell...

hell is rehab, nothing more.


the type of hell depends on the individual.

Hell is a flawed concept that was written by corrupted church clergy long, long ago.

Hell is not firey and hot. It's made out of ice, it's so cold, that it's hot. Ever hold ice on your hand and it starts to burn? That's what hell is supposed to be like.

All i need is a smilie. :beatdeadhorse: God being the horse.

Hell is just a place of low vibration where some get stuck, people there think its real and they have to realize its not in order to escape. Its like how all of you think this consiousness is real..when you have to realize its not.

do you want to elaborate? sounds like an intersting perspective...

as george carlin says (not an exact quote)

religion has actually convinced people that... there's an invisible man in the sky! who watches everything you do, and he has a special list of 10 things he does not want you to do.. and if you do any of these things, he'll send to you a place full of fire where you'll burn, hurt, suffer, and cry for ever and ever until the end of time....

BUT HE LOVES YOU! doesn't seem like a loving being to me...

Hell is supposed to motivate you to do good. It is a place of evil and a stage of your spirit's eternal humiliation; a place of breathless sorrow. Damned are those who do not conform...and The Lord gave you a chance to save yourself.

Only retards crossover freely, I guess? What about us lazy, good-for-nothing, deadbeats who live proudly in our ways? I believe in humans and because of it I am damned to Hell.
