   If one believes in heaven; that those who fulfill the purpose of life set for humans beings by the Creator God; hell is just for those who failed to fulfill life's purpose.

      Hell is the realization that what we have is going away. Our connection to the things we have will no longer be ours and will be nothing more than treasures and junk to others. Hell is having the ego torn away and it is desire to live without accepting what is. Cofusion is hell, One should not let themselves be confused by the words of others.
      
      Hell is personal and it is whatever you wish it to be.

         You seem to be trying to rationalize hell. There is no balance, as you have written before. God is going to bring balance when He cuts His work short.

         Repeat over and over, so that one may feel righteous and superior in their beliefs.

            This is not superiority. It is simply the truth. You keep repeating the same things over and over too. Is that a superior attitude? From what I have read; the answer is yes. You look down your self assured nose at anyone who believes in Jesus. If you really do not believe; why do you bother? I believe you just want to argue. If you were really searching for the truth you would find something wonderful that we can only barely touch with our minds.

      When I am here, you are there. For everything I am doing right this instant, someone is doing the opposite somewhere else at the same time. That is neither here nor there. There are many things to believe, but only one you that you could know. We are all individuals moving at the same time. To realize this, is to realize that what one believes does not matter. Focussing on duality only blinds one to what is. We must accept that people do bad things and where they wind up later is a product of their own design.

         Nonsense. There are no mystical forces making someone do something completely opposite of what you're doing at the same time. Seriously, dude.
         
         
         
         We can accept it but we don't have to like it, therefore we can change it.

            I never said anything about mystical forces. I am saying that we make our own beds and therefor, wil lay in them. The best way I can describe the meaning of what I say to you is like this. It doesn't matter what I think, I am just making a point. If you do not like it, oh well. I cannot change your mind and I'm not trying to.

               Surely, you don't think that could be anything other than sheer coincidence?

                  I was pointing out the 4th dimensional aspect of the world. I am moving in time and it is true that I am not the only one on the planet doing what I am doing now. All of the decisions I make now will inevitably affect the future. I will have to live with the repricussions, good or bad.

   I am an atheist, so I don't believe in god, heaven, hell, or anything that has to do with a religion. However, I think that the religion and "hell vs. heaven" has a  good idea in how to make children behave and try to become better citizens.

      It is interesting to observe that the reward/punishment system in religion has had quite the opposite effect over the many years it has attempted to make children behave and become better citizens.

      My question is why, even if the Supreme Court defines it in such a way, would that even change what it really means? As if they're some supreme authority, just because "supreme" is in their name, doesn't mean they get everything right. I mean, hell, look at the decisions that ended up being deemed unconstitutional because there were all kinds of bigots in those positions.

      Atheism is clearly not a religion. However, the United States Supreme Court has repeatedly stated that Atheism warrants the same protection ..

    I do. But Hell was not created for US. It was created for the Devil and his angels. God didn't make Hell to send us there. That's all I have to say about that. We send ourselves. It's a choice! Choose this day whom you will serve! You can choose death or life, choose life!
