This existence...
no, that's old Sava talking
but seriously, I've come to think that the Hell that is talked of in Judeo-Christian texts is really just an absence of the presence of God...
the whole "lake of fire" imagery is more likely the burning garbage pits that were in the valley, south of Jerusalem during the time of Christ... Gehenna, I believe the place was called...
I think the whole vision of hell we know today is the result of scare tactics during the Medeival period.
If there is a God, I doubt he would send you to a burning pit of flames for all of eternity... that is, if he truly loves you.To us, it is the BEAST.Comment

Hmmm. Consider the title of the thread and the year that the first replier joined Poly.
Coincidence? I think not! [IMG]img144.exs.cx/img144/134/emottinfoil6hz.gif[/IMG]What?Comment

Hell being alive would be listening to "Fly ikke højere end vingerne kan bære" - belive me LoTM, that is worse than Hotel California.
Hell being dead - well, I may be in for a surprise, but since I don't think the religious hell exists, then I don't worry.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Burning garbage pits... er no. They COULD of been filled with garbage at one point but.... never burning, and I never knew them to be filled with garbage, but it was possible once I suppose.Originally posted by Sava

Child sacrafices occured there before the Jews conquered Jerusalem.
You can go to Gehena now... I was there 2 weeks ago. Its a very, very small "valley" in the middle of a large city, there is a concert hall at one end which has lots of free concerts.Comment

My vision of hell is a lot like Grimsby. Hang on, it is Grimsby!Speaking of Erith:

Yeah, that part sounds nice but when it continues "Ved jorden at blive tjener os bedst" etc, then I get pissedOriginally posted by Tattila the Hun
"Don't fly higher than your wings'll take you"? Doesn't sound too bad...
Lars Lilholt has done a counter to that melody, and I like it
Læn dig ud mod en opvind
og tænk så frit du kan.
Det´ det pureste opspind
at der er noget der ikke tænkes kan
Lad dig bare beruse
af fart og højdeskræk
henover haver og huse
ja vi flyver endnu længere væk
Flyv endelig højere end vingerne bær´
ved jorden at blive gør dig bare sær
gå op imod vinden – når det bider i kinden
er du kommet nær.
er livet i labyrinten
uoverskueligt?
Kan du få øje på splinten?
Er det svært at trække vejret frit?
Så kan det hjælpe at svæve
som en albatros.
Du vil ryste og bæve,
når du hæver dig op over os
Flyv endelig højere end vingerne bær´ …..
Blot du husker at solen
kan brænde vinger af.
Stik ikke noget under stolen
brændte vinger er her masser af
Flyv endelig højere end vingerne bær´ …..With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
