It exists. But i don't think it is a physical place.
How do i explain this...
I think it is like another dimension almost. You are there on another physical level. Almost like it is just your soul floating around. I am sorry i really don't know how to explain this. But case and point, you are not there in your physical body. So it's not a physical place. It's not hot, not cold. It is a place where there is just darkness and you are trapped. And you just experience agony.
Yes it is a mental place of torment and longing heaven is a mental state of light and peace and content well I do not knwo for sure but I have faith that god is sending us where we need to go somebody explained it well on this thread well like I said read dantes inferno it helps a lot
Hell, along with Heaven, is what we make of it. We control religion, so we control what hell is. Hell is created to basically scare people into believing god.
Remember the most horrible thing that's ever happened in your life, and multiply that exponentially. Imagine that's your existence for the rest of eternity. High temperature?...Not going to be a major problem by comparison!
Oh...and then remember that all religious concepts are as "real" as any fairytale you've ever been told. But THIS ONE is REAL! Yeah...just like Santa, The Easter Bunny, and The Tooth Fairy...Tell me another one! LOL!
I'm a bit of a sceptic myself. Now don't get me wrong I want to believe in something if not just to make my parents happy. But you sometimes get a twitch in your mind when you think 'what if I believe in the wrong god? What if there is no God?' But then you don't want to risk making whatever lord you serve unhappy so you go about your business unchanged. As for hell..well, who knows, maybe it does exist in some far off place in our minds. Maybe when we die we go to a place which is where we believe we'll go. Maybe because we believe in something, it exists. Of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And I have much bigger worries than hell right now, I'll think about that when I'm dead. As for now..how can I avoid my homework...?
