Ah, yes there is a Hell! Take heed lest you find it out too late. You must take the Bible as it is. You must read it ALL and beliieve it ALL. Dare no to say, "I refuse that for I cannot reconciie it with my views." "Nay but, O'man, who art thou that repliest against God?"
The world "Hell" is an english translation of the Hebrew word (she'ohl') and it's greek equivalent (hai'des) who's meaning is more along the lines of
"the common grave". The greek word (ge'enna) is used as a symbol of eternal destruction (or deletion / emptied the recycle bin on your ass).
Though alot of christian & non-christian religions teach that hell is a place inhabited by demons, where the wicked are punished (as if a loving god would setup such an arangement.)
Eccl 9:5,10 " The living are conscious that they will die; but ass for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all. All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in sheol the place which you are going"
-If they are conscious of nothing, they obviously feal no pain.
Palm 146:4 " His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do parish "
this is why i lean with the "when you die, your deleted" camp, waiting to be re-installed on a mac, i mean in a perfect world, if the creator wishes it so.
