Call me crazy, but I'd take eternal joy in that oversized gamecube over eternal suffering in hell any day, but that's me. If only I believed, I'm sure I would make a good christian.

It's a bit weird to have someone almighty try and enforce morality like thou shalt not kill and then they don't really follow it themselves.

Furthermore, most of us would say "it may be your pet,...

As you know I'm not religious, but even I can sort of get the point. Heaven is infinite reward, you experience the love of God which is probably supposed to be a sweet deal even for the rest of...

Having a near death experience does not equal being dead.

^There's literally no logic in being scared of non-existance. All your feelings regarding it will cease to exist along with yourself when you "achieve" it.

Being scared of dying itself makes...

Me too .. I mean, before I was born, my nonexistance wasn't really a problem. Even after billions of years of not being, I wasn't bored or anything. I don't mind so much going back to that compared...

So you'd rather spend eternity in hell and experience unimaginable suffering than simply not exist? You're weird.

Solipsism speculates that since every experience is subjective, the only thing one can be somewhat certain of is the self. From that you could get ideas like maybe reality is something you are...

Anticipation, maybe you should read TyrantSong's post which my own was a reply to. The way I read it, it's not about solipsism, it's about people's minds creating something which is real in an...

Yes, I've certainly heard it before. Still a weird detail to include.

I realize I probably know more about the underworlds of Dungeons & Dragons than I know of the biblical one though. :p:

By the way, thanks for the description Unfan. It's nowhere as elaborate as the one for heaven, but it sounds like heaven and hell are separated by a great gulf and that hell is a warm or cave pit...

What can I say? Then I don't think you know the full story of Sisyphus. Since I'm no authority on greek mythology either, I'll just have to provide you with some sources.

Pretty much - only containing a city and it has ~2400 kilometre long sides.

Regarding hell, are there any good descriptions of that in the bible?

Reading extracts from the bible makes it so much clearer just why there are so many different interpretations. :p:

No, but it is possible to present a topic objectively first, then present your argument rather than present your stance on the matter first - then the topic.
