If the body is all that there is and the soul is an abstract 'spiritual thing', then I don't see how a soul could suffer, at least in the depiction of hell is filled with fire and brimstone or torture. How can fire even HURT an abstract spiritual entity? We can never envisage or understand either hell or heaven, so there's really no point in talking about this."You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James NapierComment

The fires of hell are the spiritual torture of never-ending unrequited hate, greed, lust, wrath, pride, envy and whatever that you have allowed to get between you and the spiritual purity of the grace of God. When you're in hell those negative feelings have nowhere to go excvept for right back at you.Originally posted by Zevico

It would be pointless to put me in hell, because I am none of those things.

I gather Hell is infinitely large. So any finite amount of emotions going into infinity is... nothing. Hell should be freezing.Originally posted by Dr Strangelove

Does that mean I'm going to hell?

From my understanding of the Bible, Hell is essentially an absence of God. While there may literally be a lake of fire, and such, the only truly definitive thing we know about Hell is that God will not be a part of it.Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/DaveDaDouche

Admitting you are these things is the first step in avoiding them.
As for me, it would really suck to go to hell, and miss out on heaven. That would be the punishment more than anything else to see what I was missing out on.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

I suspect the conversation in Hell would be better.
