Obviously. I always found it unnerving at funerals, both when I was a Christian and after, that preachers and such would talk about hell more than the person who died. Same with sermons in general. Of course it depends on your church and denomination, but it's certainly a big thing here down in the south and I've heard it from several different ones. They made sure to keep bringing it up, for obvious reasons.

When I was 12 and religious, my mom died, and I had to see some Christian psychiatrist who spent most of our session blaming the Devil for her passing. Kind of soured me on a lot of things.

From my understanding you will be judged and serve the punishment deemed appropriate, then cease to exist.

That is not in the bible, that is dante's inferno.

Jesus says people go to hell. Infact, all sinner go to same hell, same punishment.

Maybe this priest never actually read the bible.

I saw some scholar say that what Jesus was talking about was Gehenna, which was an actual dump outside of Jerusalem. And that the Christian interpretation of "hell" essentially came from looking at translations rather than the original text.

Theres a theory that says all of religion was invented to control people and fund other people and justify horrific behaviours in other people.

Whether that's a true thing, is not for me to say.

Sounds like internet atheist deeding material.

Hell is explicitly in the Quran so

Telling people if they do X or dont do Y they are going to hell forever is not a good way to teach religion though.

Of course it doesn't exist. Jesus absolved us of sin.

Hell is so popular in part because of Dante.

Hell (the concept, not the term) is mentioned in the Bible, but it's extremely unclear on what it's actually supposed to be. Sheol, Hades, Gehenna, they all roughly translate to hell in a sense.

The original texts never explicitly state that it's a place for the souls of sinners to be tortured for eternity, and some argue that Hell is actually a "second death" where your soul just ceases to exist.

Its the most obvious thing I've heard in a long time but it's nice to see a former member renounce the absurd doctrine.

Religion, every one, is created becuz of the sun. Jesus? No, you're worshipping the sun. Satan? Doesnt exist. Hell? lmao. Heaven? Good luck

Sheeple..

If I were a betting man I'd wager that anyone who is a genuinely good person will get into heaven irregardless of their religion. Where as the people who were evil will not be allowed into the same area as the others, be it he'll or just ceasing to exist in the afterlife. I do think that the purpose of religion was always to guide people to God, it just came from different people at different times with messages that were more applicable to that time of revelation
