I also don’t believe in hell. It was pretty easy for me though, since mormons don’t really believe in hell either. I was never really tempted by such tomfoolery.

Thanks Heather. It’s fascinating,the psychology of imagining such an unpleasant gd and such an unpleasant idea as hell. What would all believers do if gd decreed there will be no hell for 1,000 years as amnesty for all sinners? Could those trained to believe in hell be able to make sense of their belief system in the absence of hell?

Good post. God is so unpleasant, what with consigning people to hell for not being sycophantic enough, that it’s really just as well it doesn’t exist.
And how odd that religions have such detailed pictures of hell and very little in the way of images of heaven. I suppose heaven is so boring that noone would care about getting there (sitting on a cloud playing a harp and eating soft cheese, if the adverts are anything to go by) so that they have to make hell really scary to compensate.
