Why would I expect that?Oh, I'm using it to mean that I'll listen to what you got, but don't expect me to agree with you.
No, but we have our own version of hell and it ain't pretty. The fire of hell is distance from God. You might not suffer from that in this world because there will always be something else you can grab for, but those material things won't exist in the spiritual world, so all we will have to make us happy is nearness to God. Hell is to become a victim to self and passion and sink in their depths.And do Baha'is have eternal hellfire with worms eating your flesh and little demons stabbing you with pitchforks?
“Thou hast asked Me concerning the nature of the soul. Know, verily, that the soul is a sign of God, a heavenly gem whose reality the most learned of men hath failed to grasp, and whose mystery no mind, however acute, can ever hope to unravel. It is the first among all created things to declare the excellence of its Creator, the first to recognize His glory, to cleave to His truth, and to bow down in adoration before Him. If it be faithful to God, it will reflect His light, and will, eventually, return unto Him. If it fail, however, in its allegiance to its Creator, it will become a victim to self and passion, and will, in the end, sink in their depths...”
