Do you believe in hell? If so, what would it be like?

Personally I don't believe in hell. The absurdity that evil souls are to burn in the mines of sulphur with the devil thrusting a stick up your butt for all eternity is surreal but also unjust and slightly overkill. There are other slightly more pleasant beliefs as to what hell is all about - please by all means share your essential opinions and views here.

What if everything else you described is true for Hell except the time in Hell being limited? Will that make it more just and less overkill?

I believe that evil is something your actions and words shape, and not as something you can be. Locking up criminals is wrong but necessary. Also this is the afterlife so what are they going to do lol? Kill you.. nah.

So you are says that you are not responsible for the evil you perform?

How about fining the people for breaking civilian rules , like breaking the speed rules , parking rules etc? Is that wrong as well? No punishment for violating rules?

Also this is the afterlife so what are they going to do lol? Kill you.. nah.

What do you mean by "They"? It is just the natural consequence of a person's evil behavior. There is no intermediary who physically drags evildoer to Hell. Just as law of Gravitation automatically moves all mass towards earth , law of cause and effect automatically moves evil-doers to Hell.

"They" as in demons etc. Whatever you believe in really. And I stick to what I said earlier. In the afterlife punishment would be unneeded.

Hell, the way I see it, is a separation from God. It is also the grave, as it is translated. I've never believed in any fiery furnace where demons torment people for all eternity.

While you are there , you can go one step further and say there no afterlife at all. After all , evidence of Afterlife is as circumstantial as the evidence of Hell.

What about something a little less tormenting. . Ever read the great divorce?

By same token , you don't believe your Great Great Grand Parents , right? After all , you have not seen them and you only believe your eyes.

I'm sorry? What's wrong with my opinion and what does it relate to that? I'm leaving my mind open until death, and letting death show me the answer. How may one who's living know what comes after with any true certainty anyway?

i believe in all 4 hells (Hades, Tartarus, Sheol and the Lake) after witnessing them all.

Those who have faith in Jesus Christ end up living on this planet after Jesus arrives.

Everyone else who has no faith in Jesus Christ is removed from this world.

Its not absurd when every soul has a choice and repentance in the Spirit of the Lord will save any lost soul whilst the sinner is still living on this world.

How do you not believe in hell after countless documented NDE's, OOBE's, sightings of ghosts and demons ?

Because the "sightings" always have a logical explanation. . Or it's just simply a hoax.
