So why is it impossible to believe in for someone like me who hasn't been brought up around Christian dogma?

If I do not believe in hell, where does that leave me?

He´s right, the only Difference is, that Hell for Atheists and Christians has a diferent Shape
(from a joke I only know in German):
A convinced Atheist, who just died, sudenly appears in a dark Hal. He discovers a sign: "To Hell". He has no other choice than to follow the Hall to Hell. After some time he aproaches a Door which isn´t locked.
The Atheist enters hell and doesn´t trust his eyes.
Bright sunshine, pleasant temperatures, palms, sea beach, all 100 meters a beach bar, merry humans all around, in short paradisic conditions. The just deceased Atheist goes the beach along, until he sees a shape with a Clove Hoof and a tail suddenly sitting in a Beach Basket.
He goes toward the shape and asks him whether he is the devil. The latter affirms this and welcomes the newcomer in hell extremely cordially. After a small chat he sends the Newcomer to one of the Beachbars in order to get a drink. The Atheist gets itself a drink and saunters at the beach along to further explore hell.
Between dunes he discovers a large, deep hole. He looks curiously into the depth and gets dreadfully frightened.
He sees whimpering, naked humans at the deep ground of this hole. A hot fire and a wild Beasts beat the bodies of humans.
The Atheists runs immediately back to devil, confused and bewildered, and asks him about the hole.
The divil doesn´t understand the Question and so the Atheists asks again about the hole, the beasts and the humans back there at the dunes.
"Oh, this one", the Devil replies, "this is for the Christians, they want it that way".

Re: Christianity Seems Appealing, Doesn't It?
Are you really serious about the question or just baiting to get a pro vs anti christianity thread?Originally posted by Boddington's
So why is it impossible to believe in for someone like me who hasn't been brought up around Christian dogma?'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"
