Since I think it's fun to discuss stuff like this.... here's something for you guys:
What if... 'God' does not actually send people to hell, but the people themselves are so stuck on earthly things, and hatred, that they are within their own hell after death, created from their minds of things they no longer have, and feeling they still cling to?
That could explain why the devil spends most of his time on earth.
I like the way you think, this is very discussion provoking, lol

So then hell is basically your own creation? An interesting concept. I always thought that hell was in a different spiritual realm with other condemned people, but maybe hell is a place where you're completely isolated from everyone and your earthly idols are the things that torture you know.

And then how did he manage to record what happened when the figure came to him when he woke up?
he couldnt.
Now please stop with your nonsense and get over it.
OT:
From what I have learned, researched, and generally thought about logically, the energy in your body simply gets recycled into the earth to say so simply.
There is no magical energy in you, but i do not want to have to go through another fail-relgious argument so i will leave it at that.
When you die your just gone, you no longer exist, your just not there anymore. Its nothing.

Come to think of it, back when I was pondering over the whole "When God split the universe into two, this universe became a shadow; the kingdom of heaven is and always has been here." and I thought "Well, that would mean heaven and earth are in the same place, but two different dimensions" but then I wondered "where is hell then?"

Here's a possible theory. The universe was split in two, and when the end times come, the portion of the earthly universe will become hell. The heavenly dimension will absorb the rest of the earth's universe and it will becone the New Earth. It doesn't explain where Satan is, though.

I'm just assuming he's still "checking things out around earth".
Even Satan has his place; you see, he tests you to see if you're truly loyal to God or not.
Right. If you dig to the center of the earth, you'll find Satan playing Black Ops on his 360 with his demon buddies while the condemned weep, wail and gnash teeth.

people believe in heaven and hell because it's easy to believe.
The same applies to people -not- believing in heaven and hell ya' know.
How so? I don't believe in them because I've never seen any evidence for them, not because its easier to believe.
Is it easier to explain that natural world by attributing everything to god? Yes. Does that mean it's right? Nope
It's kind of a parodox; it being easier to believe BECAUSE it is simpler to believe is what makes it hard to believe, and vice versa. There's not really any evidence for either side. Well, there is, but it kind of balances itself out.

Actually, I agree with Soulfox... It is easier to believe in one thing or another, and just do it because it's easier and it's what you've been taught or shown.
It's much harder to question all things, and the very nature of reality. It's much more difficult to come to your own conclusions, to decide for yourself what are your beliefs.
It is much easier to just accept something - anything... whether it be heaven and hell, or the lack thereof. It's simply easier to just accept something and not question it.
Maybe if the bible actually made clear what was literal and what was a metaphor we could have saved millions of lives and thousand of hours of wasted time.
Maybe the part about homosexuality was a metaphor.
Maybe the creation was a metaphor.
Maybe the part about silencing women was a metaphor.
Maybe the part about stoning non-virgins on their wedding day was a metaphor.
Maybe you should be studying the Bible more then. It may not be clear at first if you're just glancing over it or if you're not paying attention to it's deeper meaning. Have you even read it?

1 major reason i dont believe in religions with an all powerful god:
If they really did eexist, and they WERE all-loving and kind as they say, then why dont they stop laughing their holy-asses off watching us kill eachother over religion, hate, etc and come down, do a little magic show, and have the huuman race actually cooperate for once?
if they did exist, all it would take is one bit of real, undeniable proof they exist. Why not? They are the overlords ffs, it wouldnt take much effort, i mean, after all, they DID supposedly create the universe, right?
:/

Luckily I have read the bible, and it makes no distinction at all between literal meanings and metaphors. There is about as much deep meaning to the bible then there is to lord of the rings.
O rly?

Religion being the info we can't gather, science, reasoning, etc being the info we have gathered.
While neither side is complete, im going to take the side that sounds more reasonable and thought out.
If god does exist, he sure is being an ass for doing this kind of stuff to humans lol
