Can someone please take a stab at explaining the sick concept of Hell to me? If you read about what the likes of Hitler, Stalin, or Saddam Husain did to their detractors and realize that is exactly what this so-called god does to those who may disagree with him, it can make you pretty sick.
Would a Mahatma Gandhi ever run a torture chamber for his enemies? Or a Nelson Mandela or a Mother Teresa? Never. And whose side is god on? God has more in common with the likes of Saddam?
Or the Taliban? How many have watched the poor young woman being held down and whiplashed across her back while she cried for mercy? God uses such crude and brutal methods?
And how exactly does this work? There was one time when I was a child and this "teacher" was trying to explain this math problem to us and no matter how much he tried he could not reach us. Exasperated, he finally took his cane and gave each of us a good lashing across our backs. Were we supposed to be suddenly enlightened because of the lashing? Or was this "teacher" simply working out his frustrations on the innocent?
Let's take an example: Say you think Abortion should be allowed and a woman free to choose. You die and God says you are wrong. You are sent to hell and tortured. A few whiplashes and some pokes with a hot poker and then you realize that you are wrong? But there is no escape - you are there till eternity! You are going to be tortured forever!
It makes no sense - it is pure nonsense. Hell makes no sense, so we must discard Heaven also - how can we let the likes of Hitler, Stalin and Saddam waltz into heaven? No Hell, No heaven, so then was God made up too?
