Do you believe in hell and why?

[Spectral1212]

I don't believe in hell. As a reformed Catholic, I have come to believe hell is the pain we experience on earth. I believe it is all about balance and if you do atrocious things in life, you will be destined for reincarnation as the opposite of what you were until you gain the lesson. If you are a murderer, you will come back and be a victim, etc.

hmmm that seems like a closed circular system. a victimizer creates a victim so becomes victim to a victimizer who becomes a victim to a victimizer who becomes a victim to a victimizer ad nauseum ad infinitum. no end to the victimization b/c there can be no last victimizer since every victimizer must become a victim. and all victims of victimization would presumably deserve the victimization they experience b/c "karma". there is no state of innocence. right? (tho one may wonder how the very first karmic victim came about.)

a cruel, pointless and inefficient system, imo. surely "God" could come up w/ a better system than that.

I don't believe in hell. I honestly don't understand why anyone would choose to believe in something so awful. I too believe in reincarnation, and I believe there is some sort of afterlife, but I'm not sure exactly what that looks like. I sort of prefer it to remain a mystery.

Hi everyone,

I strongly believe in hell and heaven.
I believe we have both hell and heaven on the earth itself. Karma can get you in hell or in heaven. Always do good to people, help people in need and you will feel like you are in heaven.

I believe hell can be unique to an individual. Some feel that they have moments of hell on Earth.
