Do people who do bad things in the name of religion go to Hell ?

[ronki23]

If they do then why do them in the first place ? Or if they do so why in the name of religion?

I don't think that how a person justifies their evil behavior matters. What matters is that they do justify it. Which compounds the evil that they do with the evil that they become.

Do you think a person doing something evil in the name of religion thinks he is doing something evil? And what do you think hell is anyway? I think people have a misconception about hell.

The only people going to hell is the list of any arbitrary Christian you ask has. It's never them.

Look at all the Catholics and Lutherans who committed the Holocaust. Good Christians doing evil.

And what do you think hell is anyway? I think people have a misconception about hell.

It's an absurd idea, and those who think it is real are never the ones going there.

@ronki23 I believe that hell doesn't exist.
In my opinion.

Bible tells eternal life is for righteous and death for unrighteous.

These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.
Mat. 25:46

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23

If person does bad things in any way, he is probably not righteous and will probably not get the eternal life. And I think it is not because of the actions, but because what kind of person one is.

My guess is that if one does “bad things” in name of religion, one probably does not think of them as “bad”?

Once one forgets the importance of never treating others as means, it’s all too easy to become quite confused about what’s “good” vs. what’s “bad”.

If Hell is the state of being in which we experience the consequences of our own contributions to general
suffering; then, I can see how the experience of “bad” things done in name of religion may be quite extensive and long, for it would contain, not only the experiences of direct victims but also the experiences of the worldly judgements passed on the religion in question.

Humbly,
Hermit

Anyone who does bad things will have to pay for it with pain and suffering. It does not really make a difference if it is in the name of religion or name of nationalism or just plain personal selfish reasons.

Hell is full of them.

No, they go to Florida.

 

[Muffled]

I believe those who sin and do not repent go to hell no matter what excuse they use.

I believe you don't exist and my evidence is just as good as yours. Or I should say as bad.

 

[Muffled]

Hell is full of them.

I doo not believe anyone is there yet.

Who, on this side of death, do you think has the answer?

Really, hell types to you on religious forums?!

No. Like all of us, religious people just eventually die and decompose with the atoms bonding and rearranging into new forms.

That's pretty much it.

Everyone knows. We were all dead prior to the womb and birth.

It is especially evil when one does evil in the name of God. It is a special form of severe blasphemy.

Perhaps that's why salvation became all about belief. No one could live up to the standards. It's easier to change the tenets than change behavior.
