Talk:Hell
To be fair, while maybe not named Hell, in Revelations it does talk of a lake of fire and brimstone where the evil ones will be cast for all eternity. Researcher 17:27, 7 October 2008 (EDT)
- Yes, and Jesus is reported to have said "It is better for you to enter into life maimed than to keep both hands and go to Hell and the unquenchable fire. And if your foot is your undoing, cut it off; it is better to enter into life a cripple than to keep both your feet and be thrown into Hell. And if it is your eye, tear it out; it is better to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye than to keep both eyes and be thrown into Hell, where the devouring worm never dies and the fire is not quenched." (Mark 9). And the Old Testament imtermittently rambles about the pit of Sheol and the like. The bit about there being only one mention of hell in the Bible is obviously wrong.--ConservapediaRoolz 08:20, 20 March 2009 (EDT)

[edit] Hell or hell?
Please do it consistently. If you must do the small-h version which was mildly amusing & CP-relevant a few months ago, then please do it all the way through the article. Looking at the same word/name transcribed two different ways throughout is very irritating. ΨΣΔξΣΓΩΙÐ

- How about <choose><option>Hell</option><option>hELL</option><option>{{hell}}</option></choose?? ĴάΛäšςǍ₰ browbeating gasolines! 16:12, 20 March 2009 (EDT)
- "hELL" is hideous. It should really be "Hell", but I don't care if we use "hell" as long as it's consistent. ΨΣΔξΣΓΩΙÐ

- While I think it should be "Hell", except if there is a particular paragraph referencing the CP issue, I was most struck by your comments on consistency. I can't tell you how many places I want to scream "I don't care how you do it, just keep it the same every time" around here. ;-)--

- Curious why small H. it's very "injoke" to me, and it looks, well, disingenuous. "i'm not going to give you the respect of calling your hell, Hell." It's their name for their favorite eternal resting ground, but it is still a name. Just my 2 cents (can i haz a bailout?). --

[edit] If you're going to Hell, check your reservation:
If Hell exists, then God's Mercy can't exist.
No. Hell exists only because God's Mercy exists. When an individual soul falls into the Void, the pain gets progressively worse in its eternal fall. Although Hell will not stop the pain, Hell can stop the pain from getting worse. Since each soul has Free Will, each lost soul can choose to stop at Hell or continue its fall into the Void.[1]
If Hell exists, then its name would be found in the past.
No. If you restrict yourself to a linear time sequence, Hell's real name and purpose will only be found in future. Until you learn your own name and purpose, you will not learn the true name and purpose of Hell. [2]
If Hell exists, then more should have been written about it.
No. Hell exists and too much has been written about it. Hell is insignificant in comparison to the Eternal Adventure. Since the Lord God is the Alpha and Omega of every eternal sequence, you should trust God to correctly deal with the eternal sequence of Hell. [3]
Hell exists.
Yes. If you stand on Earth in a 3-dimensional space, you would point down toward the center of the Earth - that is the direction of Hell's "wide gate" (Matthew 7:13).

[edit] Lack of content
I was worried about the lack of content in this article until I decided to do some quick skimming about. There is no content to add! Facts wise, at least. It really does seem as if the canon of Christian mythology doesn't reference hell in a direct sense at all. Instead it relies on translations from Greek and ancient Jewish mythology. Evidence of memetic evolutionary development of religions? Almost certainly. But it also leads us to the conclusion that this basic tenet of evangelical preaching relies on other religions (Greek namely, which are "not the true religion" by the admission of evangelists... so what gives?) and the specifics are informed more from Dante's Inferno, which is a medieval work of fiction. It's interesting because then could you assume that hell isn't really a theological concept at all?

[edit] CP section cut
I have cut the following as it's just Old CP stuff.
Cut starts.
[edit] Small h controversy
During a discussion at Conservapedia about Hell's role in the Bible, Philip J. Rayment responded to Andrew Schlafly with a comment which included the word "hell" with a lower case "h", probably as a typing error. Schlafly replied, initially also including the small-h "hell", before correcting this and pointing out that "Hell" should be capitalised. Subsequently he used Rayment's initial use of "hell" as a tool in the debate, claiming that it indicated a denial of Hell's existence. Before long, spelling "hell" with a small "h" had entered Schlafly's stock list of "liberal positions".
Cut ends.--BobSpring is sprung! 19:21, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

[edit] A question about the christian hell
I don't understand christians' horror of their fantasy about eternal punishment, given the even greater horror they often express towards the implications of a materialist world view. Don't people go to hell with the understanding that their lives have meaning and purpose as god's creatures? Advancedatheist (talk) 21:24, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Illogicality of hell
The punishment seems to be rather disporportionate to the cause (eternity in response to a few decades of life). Why no chance for redemption/trying to do it better next time? (Purgatory makes more sense even to a non-Catholic) 171.33.222.26 (talk) 16:18, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
