Perhaps Hell Ain’t So Bad
I had a good conversation with a couple of friends recently which led to my expressing some of the ideas I have on a topic that I don’t think about very often and express my opinion about it to others even less. For the most part, I don’t express my opinions on this topic because, number one I don’t think it is as important as several more positive things I can think of, and number two I think that there are already too many people expressing too many “worse than true” things about it already.
Here are a couple of linksĀ that I think useful for you to get while I am not ready to swallow that old “everyone is going to burn in hell and die” doctrine. I’m actually more on the side of believing that everyone who lives for the reason that they were created, God’s will, will go onto eternal life. And that otherwise you’ll just simply go on into oblivion. The latter which is no better or no worse than the average agnostic or atheistic belief that you simply become worm food :-)
I don’t follow all of the following two link’s ideas hook line and sinker either. But at least these articles bring up some of the things that I think have been overlooked while that old doctrinal junk is still circulated throughout many cultures, especially the good ol’south. My final opinions on hell?; well I don’t think that I’ve really come to a conclusion which I am ready to stand on. And I don’t think that it’s necessary for me to come to one for me to focus my life on doing what I think God wants of me.
