I've always wondered that to.

I'm not even sure that hell is real.

It's not a tit for tat kind of thing, where if you are good then he'll be good too. You can't negotiate with god.

God likes his people barbequed

Have you tried stepping barefoot on a hacked up cat hair ball?

maybe he is a psycho.

That is a very good point. Perhaps you have been mislead as to what hell really is. Many people in Christendom have been mislead about this teaching. What does the Bible really teach about this? Here is a link to a good article: http://www.watchtower.org/e/20020715/article_02.htm

as the good george carling once said "....but he loves you.... i worship the sun"

I'm not so sure God likes you asking these kinds of questions. You better watch it!

I'm glad you're a thinker. :)

Some people believe that this life is hell. "Hell on Earth"... If you believe in god, you should know he's only about one thing. Love. Everything else is crap man made up to control others. When the threat of death didn't work, they made up hell.

At the final judgment, God will decide what your fate will be. The other threats are from mankind, and are designed to force you to behave. If you choose to behave in a civilized manner, and it is entirely by choice, not by threats or fear, God will be much happier with you, and more likely to give you the reward you deserve.

That is a really freakin' good point. Seriously- I've often wondered if He's really up there wtf is the deal with our lives here on Earth. Then I thought- well if life sucks this much, maybe we're all in Hell(here on Earth) serving our time until we die...

Because that entire concept was created by a certain religious group, and I think we ALL know which one, to scare you into being controlled. Don't believe everything you hear.

Maybe that is not really how things work. Who really KNOWS? No one until they die, then they can not tell us. lol

There is no reason for a just and loving god to even have created a hell. Done end of story.

If somebody told you the punishment for misbehavior and you chose to misbehave anyway, does that make them a psycho for punishing you, or you a psycho for your behavior? Your boyfriend has to live by the rules of man, where even if you misbehave, he can't throw you off a bridge. We all have to live by God's rules. If you chose to ignore the rules, why should you be able to ignore the punishment?

Are you familuar with the term Slavery ?? IF you can enslave the mind the body will follow and what better way to keep slaves than to start with the minds of children and work your way up ... ~Nemo~

Probably the same reason some of the "church peepull" like to attempt to DR us all to hell. The same story was told long before the bible in many different cultures. The bible is just a collection of stolen stories from ancient religions, but you can read the very same story at http://www.jhuger.com/kisshank Kissing Hanks ass...funny stuff. ;) Kissing Hanks Ass is the same thing as church and the story.. it's a shake down con job. Pay the church money or god kicks your ass. pretty basic stuff really.

its a thin line between love and hate! LOL

Hell is a myth. You are right. A loving God would not do so.

hell is b.s. it was the church's way of scaring people into submission, they needed to control them in every aspect of lift, what better way then to say do this or that or you will burn in hell. Religion was a way humans used to explain everything from the sun coming up in the morning to earthquakes to sickness, with basic science knowledge we now know 100 x more then the smartest past scholars.

God does not throw you into hell. You throw yourself into hell. No one really knows what hell is like. It has been described by people who have not been there as everything from flames to a frozen lake (Dante). Hell is the state of complete and final self-exclusion from communion with God and the blessed, reserved for those who refuse by their own free choice to believe and be converted from sin, even to the end of their lives I like to think of it this way. The only way a person will go to hell is if they want to. God in His (or Her) unlimited love has given us free will to choose. Our most important choice is to freely decide to accept or reject God's constant offer of spending eternity with Him in heaven. God will respect the choice to reject Him. For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 1033-1037: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt1sect2chpt3art12.shtml#1033 "You can check out any time you like but you can never leave." -- Hotel California, the Eagles, Songwriters Don Felder, Don Henley, and Glenn Lewis Frey With love in Christ.

Everything you have ever heard or read about God was written by men who had their own agenda. Maybe the 'real' god, if there is one, is nothing like that.

That's a great question. It's one of the puzzles that makes me doubt Christian theology.

Because Hell is not in the Afterlife. Hell is what we create on Earth by failing to live in a godly way. God is not the Universal Mass Torturer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlton_Pearson

Read Psalm 5:5.He is a Holy God and will not allow sin into heaven.We have no idea how horrible sin is and oneday when Christ comes and gets the Christian or if we go to be with Him when we die,we will know how horrible sin is.

PLEASE read this: http://www.watchtower.org/e/20020715/article_02.htm This WILL answer your question. It all makes sense to me. The answers all come from the Bible. God is SO misinterpreted!

Most Christian denominations teach the concept of being tortured in hell forever, but it is not a true Biblical teaching. The Bible teaches that hell fire is the second death, not burning forever in hell. The word "hell" means "grave" and is sometimes used to translate the Greek word Gehenna, which was a place for burning refuse, and Hades, the abode of the dead or the grave. People dwelling forever in Hades(which is not hell fire) or being tormented forever in a fire laden underworld is a pagan concept. The Bible talks about the Earth being burned up, and a lake of fire. Not an underworld hell fire. The amalgamation of pagan and Christian concepts occurred centuries ago and became ingrained into our society's concept of the afterlife. Preachers ignore the plain teachings of the Bible and point to the ambiguous scriptures to try and hang on to this false "fear factor" teaching. Most of the scriptures they use are misinterpreted. The Bible teaches that the wicked who refuse to repent will be thrown into the lake of fire and destroyed. It has nothing to do with you not being liked. The Bible does teach that you will someday have to pay the price for wrong doing, but it teaches that Christ paid that debt. So you would have to either accept His payment for you, or pay it yourself.

I didnt know he threw people in hell and tortured them. It says it is full of torment and the gnashing of teeth, and fire and brimstone. (Think about your mind when it is in the worst of place, you are very tormented by the things that you do, you can be tormented by the things people say bout you, behind your back, around you to your face, by things you can say to other people. When a person feels guilt and doubt and anger, and rage, anything that is not good it is like a fire that is consuming that person. Hell is a place that has NO GOD. if people decide in this lifetime they WANT NO GOD. God gives them just that, a place with absolutely no God. A seperation from him. If God is good, and God is love...then a place with NO GOD = a place with no good, no love, no forgiveness, no peace, no harmony, no unity... IT IS A VERY BAD PLACE, AND YOU ONLY GO THERE BECUASE YOU WANT TO BE THERE....YOU WANT NO GOD... He grants you that much.

If your talking about the christian god, than the threat of hell is the least of the jacked up hypocracys involved with that religion (pardon my spelling :)

Dante style images of hell are antiquated and fail to address the metaphorical language that is used to describe the afterlife. Hell could very well be an eternity at the Vegas Strip. Sure, the first couple of months would be fun, but it would be terribly boring after that. Hell is just a place where people go to continue living the way they want to live. They don't want God and what He can give, so God says, "Okay, have it your way. Try and live without me. No longer will I prevent you from suffering the consequences of your actions and choices." The difference between your hypothetical psycho boyfriend and God is that God is extremely patient in trying to woo people to find fulfillment in Him. And God does not randomly throw people into hell for the sadistic pleasure of the moment. I don't think the analogy succeeds.

If a Christian tells you that God will throw you into Hell and Torture you for not accepting him. They are either trying to scare you into their religion or are just plain ass holes. God does not torture. Nor will he literally throw you into hell. God give's us a choice. He has always given us a choice in life. If we accept him than we continue living a life with him. If we don't we live a life without him. If you want to call it hell, that's on you. Personally I don't believe in a "Hell". It is just a metaphore for what a life without God would be like.

your right, doomsday prophecies is a whole other issue, as for hell, there are many religions that beleived in this with the whole fire and devil thing, but like many other beleifs of christianity they adopted this to their religion , actually the whole burning in hell belief was used to explain natural occurences like volcanoes and hot thermal activity even until recent times people still beleived hell is really at the center of the earth, but , you sound like you really beleive in it and sounds like your versed in the bible ( i was a jehovah wittness minister for most of my life) but now i dont beleive in much of anything that has to do with faith.

Don't forget, God gave you a choice so he is NOT throwing you in, he offers you forgiveness FREE by just asking. So, if YOU jump off the bridge yourself, and your boyfriend doesn't push you, is your boyfriend the bad guy or pshyco, or are you? The simple choice is yours but its not Gods fault you choose to jump or be thrown in.

I don't know... Your opinions will change as your life does. But it shouldn't.

What you fail to understand is Hell is infinite removal from the Presence of God. If you don't want to be in God's Presence, that's where you wind up. Basically, He gives you what you want: to be as far away from Him as possible.

I like to thing of it like the LDS do, its not really a "hell" but a "prison" to learn and eventually accept God if you wish to, or stay in this "prison" if you still dont want to.

Bingo. You hit the nail on the head in your own way.

You didn't say why your boyfriend would throw you off a bridge. He may not be labeled a psycho for doing so. +5

A good judge can not let a criminal go free. If someone kidnapped your boyfriend, and tortured him to death, would you think a good judge would just let the person go if they were caught? Of course not, you would want that person punished. A person who jumps out of a airplane without putting their parachute on, doesn't perish because they didn't put on the parachute, they perished because they broke the law of gravity. Had they put on the parachute, they would not have perished. The same goes for those that go to Hell. No one goes to Hell because they don't accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, they go to Hell because they have broken God's Laws, the Ten Commandments. Had they put on the Lord Jesus Christ, Romans 13:14, they would have been saved. Jesus said we must do two things to avoid Hell. Repent, confess our sins to God and forsake them, and be be born again by putting our faith in the sacrafice Jesus made on the cross, and that alone to save us. Read Luke 13:3&5 and John 3:3, and you will read the words of Jesus yourself. It's as simple as this, I broke God's laws, and Jesus paid my fine with His sinless blood. If I repent, and accept the sacrafice Jesus made as the only payment for my sins, God can dismiss my case, because the fine has been paid in full. If I don't want to do this, God is better than any earthly judge, and He can not allow Law breakers into Heaven, no matter how much He loves them. If the judge in the case of your boyfriend was the father of the person that commited the crime, and loved the child very much, he still can't let the child go if he is a good judge. If he lets his child go unpunished, he is a bad judge, and deserves to be punished himself. May God continue to bless you and yours, and thanks for the question.

I was just pondering the same thing.

Although I struggle with the concepts of god, heaven, hell and such; I understand a little bit about the theology behind it: Hell is simply the conscious decision to reject god. As a result, when you reject god, you are choosing to reject all that is good. Simply put, it's not god punishing you, it's you rejecting what's good. That's the theology, but it doesn't help me sort out my opinions or feelings any better...

well god gave his only son which he LOVED just for the possibility of you going to heaven. A POSSIBILITY,not even 110% assurance that youre going-thats how much he loves you.you might go to hell if you dont believe that he sent his son to die for you,but if you simply believe it.. its all your choice(he even gave us the option of choosing.some choose to go to hell by not accepting THAT fact). god doesnt want bad,he wants us to live happy with purpose and abundance,but things happen.life is hard for everyone.but going to hell is your decision.if you reject him,its not his fault.if you love your bf but he rejects you,its not your fault.get me?

God doesnt throw you into hell, you do, you have free will just as anyone else, ya he loves you, Jesus died for you, why not live for him, Praise the Lord.

You exposed god like 'the naked king'! Way to go mate!

Ok if you dont accept God what does it matter? FYI God is not the one that sends your soul to eternal damnation (to hell as you put it)you do that all by the choices you make among the living!

I read some of the answers and I saw one obout the Lake Of Fire so i'll use the bible on this.Revelation 20:14-15"and DEATH and HA'DES were hurled into the Lake Of Fire.This means the SECOND DEATH,the Lake Of Fire.Furthermore whoever was not found written in the book of life was hurled into the lake of fire"now REVELATION 21:4"And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes,and DEATH WILL BE NO MORE,neither will mourning nor outcry nor PAIN be anymore.The former things have passed away."so we see that death will be no more nor pain so how can the be a place of everlasting torture?

Your refusal to accept Him means you do not accept the Holy Spirit, that you deny any acts of or fruit from the Holy Spirit and that is the one truly Unforgivable Sin in His eyes. Maybe a rethinking of your position might be in order, no?

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. John 3:36

It's a state of mind, a state of your "spirit". We live in Heaven or Hell right now, right this moment. Try not taking the Bible so literally.

They are one and the same, I have no time to mince words.

Because God, Heaven, and Hell only exist in the Human mind. Therefore, those words are not that of God, but of Man. I would not worry about a torturous Hell. Besides, by the time of your death, your "soul" will no longer have a host to feel physical pain. Also, eternity is a very long time. Don't you think one would build a tolerance to this torture, to the point where its no longer considered torture. Get real.

Do u mean don't accept him or don't believe in God.

GOD didnt want to enslave anyone, he wanted to have people who wanted to be with him, and if they didn't then he made a place where anyone who doesn't want to be with him can go. a place void of Himself, if GOD is joy peace love truth kindness, then a place void of him would be anger chaos hate lies spiteful place. it is a place where the people go that want no part of GOD, and the best thing is that GOD didn't say...be good and you can get in, or dont do that and you can get in, he said the way to get in is believe in my son who I sent for you. and that word believe is like believe that 2+3=5, you know it you have tested it you use it no one can change your mind on it...you believe it.+2

Traditional Christianinty will tell you that God does not "throw you into hell" but you choose to go there by your refusal to accept him. What a bunch of B*l*s*it. Your question is a very good one, but perhaps you are only looking at one side of the story. I have the answer for you but it is long and cannot be attached here. douglastarkenton@yahoo.com.

So many of the questions, such as yours, are asked with a human and God comparison. You simply cannot compare what God does and what humans do. God is a holy and righteous God and humans are a train wreck. If you believe in God and have thoroughly read Scripture, you should know why God does what He does in regards to punishment and you shouldn't even have to ask this question. On the other hand, if you do not believe in God, why even bother asking a question like yours? If you do not believe in God, why even bother to bring up this subject? No one is twisting your arm to believe anything. Just live your life as you always have if it makes you happy.

This is a long answer but it explains what you are asking. "If God really is all loving, then how can He send anybody to hell?" The question is almost an embarrassment for Christians today. On the one hand, the Bible teaches that God is love, and yet, on the other hand, it warns that those who reject God face everlasting punishment, and it contains frequent warnings about the danger of going to hell. But aren't these two somehow inconsistent with each other? Well, a lot of people seem to think that they are inconsistent, but in fact this isn't at all obvious. After all, there is no explicit contradiction between them. The statement "God is all loving" and "Some people go to hell" are not explicitly contradictory. So if these two are inconsistent, there must be some hidden assumptions which would serve to bring out the contradiction and make it explicit. But what are these assumptions? It seems to me that the detractor of hell is making two crucial assumptions. First of all, he assumes that if God is all powerful, then God can create a world in which everyone freely chooses to give his life to God and is saved. And second, he assumes that if God is all loving, then God prefers a world in which everyone freely chooses to give his life to God and be saved. Since God is thus both willing and able to create a world in which everyone is freely saved, it follows that no one goes to hell. Now notice that both of these assumptions have to be necessarily true, in order to prove that God and hell are logically inconsistent with each other. So as long as there's even a possibility that one of these assumptions is false, it's possible that God is all-loving and yet some people go to hell. Thus, the opponent of hell has to shoulder a very heavy burden of proof, indeed. He has to prove that both of these assumptions are necessarily true. According to the Bible, God's nature is both perfect justice and perfect love. Both of these are equally powerful, and neither can be compromised. I trust in God's justice. I don't think that there could be anyone who would be more fair or just than God. I have complete confidence in His decision. God is just. He is totally fair. He has no ax to grind. He is not out to get you. He is the most competent, intelligent, impartial, and fairest judge you will ever have. No one will get a bum decision at God's judgment seat. Every human being can be guaranteed absolute justice. But this is precisely the problem! For God's justice exposes man's inadequacy. The Bible says that every person has failed to live up to God's moral law and so finds himself guilty before God. The Biblical word for this moral failure is sin. The Bible says that "All persons are under the power of sin. None is righteous; no, not one; all have turned aside, together they have gone wrong. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Rom. 3.10,12,23). We thus find ourselves under the law of divine justice: You reap what you sow. The Bible says, "Do not be deceived; God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction. The one who sows to please God's Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life" (Gal. 6.7-8). The prophet Ezekiel declared, "The soul that sins shall die" (Ez. 18.4), and the apostle Paul echoes, "The wages of sin is death" (Rom. 6.23). You reap what you sow. You reap what you sow. This is justice in its purest form. The only problem is, nobody measures up! So, if we rely on the justice of God, we're sunk! There is nobody here who deserves to go to heaven. Nobody is good enough! So if we depend on God's justice, we've had it. It's all over. Therefore, we must cast ourselves on God's mercy. Even though we are guilty and deserve to die, God still loves us. Sometimes people get the idea that God is a sort of cosmic tyrant up there, out to get us. But this isn't the Christian understanding of God. Listen to what the Bible says, "'Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked?,' says the Lord God, 'And not rather that he should turn from his way and live? For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone,' says the Lord God. 'So turn and live! Say to them, "As I live," says the Lord God, "I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil ways. For why will you die?"'" (Ezekiel. 18.23,32; 33.11). Here God literally pleads with people to turn back from their self-destructive course of action and be saved. And in the New Testament it says, "The Lord is not willing that any should perish but that all should reach repentance" (2Pet. 3.9). "He desires all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth" (1Tim. 2.4). Thus God finds himself in a kind of dilemma. On the one hand are His justice and holiness, which demand punishment for sin, rightly deserved. On the other hand are God's love and mercy, which demand reconciliation and forgiveness. Both are essential to His nature; neither can be compromised. What is God to do in this dilemma? The answer is Jesus Christ. He is the fulfillment of God's justice and love. They meet at the cross: the love and the wrath of God. At the cross we see God's love for people and His wrath upon sin. On the one hand we see God's love. Jesus died in our place. He voluntarily took upon himself the death penalty of sin that we deserve. The Bible says, "In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins" (1Jn. 4.10). by Dr. William Lain Craig

You are already in hell thinking like this. You have no idea what God is. That is the meaning of hell here. You are as far away from the idea of God as possible thinking like this and you are feeling like hell. God is love. God is not of the physical. God is beyond your silly idea here.

God does not throw you into hell. You choose it. God loves you so much that he sent his own son to take your place for the sin you commit. God gave his law so you would understand that you are not good enough in your own righteousness to be in his holy presents.Gods ways are so much higher and so much more righteous than our ways that noone who is born of the flesh can ever be good enough.Because everyone born in the flesh is born into sin. So he sent his son Jesus. who being born of the Spirit (The Holy Spirit impregnated Mary)and not of the flesh,was able to take the sin of the whole world and be the High Preist between God the Father and us. Breaking down the wall of our flesh that seperates us from God. But he only wanted one thing in return. He ask that we believe Him! So he gave us the choice to choose Him or reject Him. Hell was not created for man.It was created for Satan and the angels that rebelled against God. He says in the bible that He wants all to repent(turn away from) their sins and believe on His son so they can be with Him for ever. Its our choice!

*** it-1 pp. 1086-1087 Hell *** HELL A word used in the King James Version (as well as in the Catholic Douay Version and most older translations) to translate the Hebrew she’ohl′ and the Greek hai′des. In the King James Version the word “hell” is rendered from she’ohl′ 31 times and from hai′des 10 times. This version is not consistent, however, since she’ohl′ is also translated 31 times “grave” and 3 times “pit.” In the Douay Version she’ohl′ is rendered “hell” 64 times, “pit” once, and “death” once. In 1885, with the publication of the complete English Revised Version, the original word she’ohl′ was in many places transliterated into the English text of the Hebrew Scriptures, though, in most occurrences, “grave” and “pit” were used, and “hell” is found some 14 times. This was a point on which the American committee disagreed with the British revisers, and so, when producing the American Standard Version (1901) they transliterated she’ohl′ in all 65 of its appearances. Both versions transliterated hai′des in the Christian Greek Scriptures in all ten of its occurrences, though the Greek word Ge′en·na (English, “Gehenna”) is rendered “hell” throughout, as is true of many other modern translations. Concerning this use of “hell” to translate these original words from the Hebrew and Greek, Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words (1981, Vol. 2, p. 187) says: “HADES . . . It corresponds to ‘Sheol’ in the O.T. [Old Testament]. In the A.V. of the O.T. [Old Testament] and N.T. [New Testament], it has been unhappily rendered ‘Hell.’” Collier’s Encyclopedia (1986, Vol. 12, p. 28) says concerning “Hell”: “First it stands for the Hebrew Sheol of the Old Testament and the Greek Hades of the Septuagint and New Testament. Since Sheol in Old Testament times referred simply to the abode of the dead and suggested no moral distinctions, the word ‘hell,’ as understood today, is not a happy translation.” It is, in fact, because of the way that the word “hell” is understood today that it is such an unsatisfactory translation of these original Bible words. Webster’s Third New International Dictionary, unabridged, under “Hell” says: “fr[om] . . . helan to conceal.” The word “hell” thus originally conveyed no thought of heat or torment but simply of a ‘covered over or concealed place.’ In the old English dialect the expression “helling potatoes” meant, not to roast them, but simply to place the potatoes in the ground or in a cellar. The meaning given today to the word “hell” is that portrayed in Dante’s Divine Comedy and Milton’s Paradise Lost, which meaning is completely foreign to the original definition of the word. The idea of a “hell” of fiery torment, however, dates back long before Dante or Milton. The Grolier Universal Encyclopedia (1971, Vol. 9, p. 205) under “Hell” says: “Hindus and Buddhists regard hell as a place of spiritual cleansing and final restoration. Islamic tradition considers it as a place of everlasting punishment.” The idea of suffering after death is found among the pagan religious teachings of ancient peoples in Babylon and Egypt. Babylonian and Assyrian beliefs depicted the “nether world . . . as a place full of horrors, . . . presided over by gods and demons of great strength and fierceness.” Although ancient Egyptian religious texts do not teach that the burning of any individual victim would go on forever, they do portray the “Other World” as featuring “pits of fire” for “the damned.”—The Religion of Babylonia and Assyria, by Morris Jastrow, Jr., 1898, p. 581; The Book of the Dead, with introduction by E. Wallis Budge, 1960, pp. 135, 144, 149, 151, 153, 161, 200. “Hellfire” has been a basic teaching in Christendom for many centuries. It is understandable why The Encyclopedia Americana (1956, Vol. XIV, p. 81) said: “Much confusion and misunderstanding has been caused through the early translators of the Bible persistently rendering the Hebrew Sheol and the Greek Hades and Gehenna by the word hell. The simple transliteration of these words by the translators of the revised editions of the Bible has not sufficed to appreciably clear up this confusion and misconception.” Nevertheless, such transliteration and consistent rendering does enable the Bible student to make an accurate comparison of the texts in which these original words appear and, with open mind, thereby to arrive at a correct understanding of their true significance.—See GEHENNA; GRAVE; HADES; SHEOL; TARTARUS.

Satan is just making you think hard. How can you not accept god. when you are going through a problem who do you think is there to hear you? It's Allah.You cannot compare God who created the whole universe, the Greatest, The oft-forgiving, to a boy. Research about Islam. It is a religion of peace and love. Here are some links: www.islamdoor.com, www.islamreligion.com, www.islamqa.com. Also, read the Holy Quran and dont let satan get into your head and lead you astray.

(Ecclesiastes 9:4-6) 4 For as respects whoever is joined to all the living there exists confidence, because a live dog is better off than a dead lion. 5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.

it's worse than you think - http://www.evilbible.com/Murder.htm

Would you live with someone that you can't accept? When you die, you only have two options; Accept GOD and live for eternity in heaven, or, Don't accept God and don't. That means hell.

Hell is not a choice of God, it is the choice of man who wants to reject God. "For God so greatly loved the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life." (John 3:16)

If your boyfriend gave you a choice, be thrown off the bridge of go to Disney World and you choose the bridge. Who's fault is that?

the bible does not say ,....if you dont be a good person ,ON EARTH ,when you die you will roast in hell for ever .....where do people get this idea from ?

really, why would you care since you don't believe in God

We were bought at a price. Do you not believe that you will suffer what you must to understand?
