Is hell real to you? If so, what do you think it will be like?

I wrote a little about what I thought hell might be like (http://hubpages.com/hub/Afraid-of-the-Dark) but wondered what others would have to offer. Maybe you don't believe in hell and want to share what you believe happens when you leave here. Thanks for your input!

No an after life hell does NOT exist. We create our own hell by the way we treat people, the way we behave as well as think! I am amused at the people who revert to church after a life time of scandal and think God is that dumb and wasnt keeping tabs on ya. No pass for you.....proceed accordingly! Who you think you foolin? Do I hear dominatrix....................loloolololol

The bible says we are created in God's image and likeness. Suppose my child disobeys me and I throw him into a bonfire as punishment - am I a "loving but just father?" ...or, am I a psychopath?

God isn't a psychopath. To accuse him of inventing a place of torture and pain is, in my opinion, blasphemy. Hell is a construct of ancient superstitious people who were trying to define things in terms they could understand.

The sooner we get beyond such negative ideas, the sooner we will claim our oneness with God and his creation and act accordingly.

Hell is what humans make it. As long as we exist, we will continue to make this world Hell. Why be concerned with what happens when you "leave here" when this life, right here, is your only chance for true salvation. You don't want to go to hell? Well then do something to make the world you already live in a better place. You've only got one shot at this life and if you're too preoccupied with what happens next to make a meaningful contribution to society, then you might as well go to Hell.

Hell or heaven. Depends on your attitude your experiencing in the present life itself. For example, Some people use more shortcuts in life and live comfortable life. we think he /she living heavenly life. In reality , their other side is hell. So, the percentage of heaven to hell will differ man to man. I believe hell or heaven until death , we experience in real life only.After death, I have not experienced.

Hello friend, this is a good question to ask in a generation where hell has turn to a slang in the mouth. Hell is real.

God never design this place for any man but the devil, demons and anyman that refuse God's part to salvation.

Check the following passages; Matthew 5:22,29 and 30, 10:28, 18:9, Deuteronomy 32:22. and many more all over the bible.

In spme men's imagination hell is not real is as well as saying God is not real because he cannot tell a lie.

Many more passages can be visited through PC Bible or any other concordance bible.

You need to turn your heart to Jesus, and fear will disappear

My preference is to believe that we make our own Heaven and Hell here on earth. It is what you are doing NOW that determines the trajectory of your life.

Does that mean that I believe that evil doesn't exist? .... perhaps it does.

Do I think the an Infinite God that holds all of existance in and out of time can be 'insulted' by whether you believe in some 'doctrine' or not? No ... and this is a double NO for thinking that an infinite being would then take one of it's puny creations and 'punish' it for eternity becuase God felt insulted or offended or 'wronged' in some way. I mean ... come on folks - how can you insult or offend or hurt infinity.

Just a thought ...
