Is earth a type of Hell mentioned in many religions?

Hell is full of beings who cause and receive suffering. Earth is filled with beings who cause and receive suffering. Hell is under the control of 'Satan'. Some religions acknowledge that Earth is run by 'Satan' and many spiritualists acknowledge the fact that Ego or suffering has a big influence and a type of control over the world.

Perhaps this is why we have reincarnated on Earth because we have done acts of suffering in previous existences. Perhaps we are, or most of us are, a type of 'Demon' written about in religious texts.

If this is one of the Hells in the universe then their are, with no doubt, worse hells out there. As this planet seems to be bridging the gap between a hell and heaven.

If some who live on this planet are 'Demonic' to an extent then sure their are those who are a mixture of Angel and Demon and those who are Angels.

If this is a hell perhaps most Heavens are much the same. Both being in a physical plane of existence. Which would suggest that these planets which could be called a Heaven are much more peaceful and the people on it have more freedoms.

This would also add a uncommon perception(but one that seems to be acknowledged by many in this day and age) to the idea of Angels. Being physical creatures who have transcend the doctrine of ego into a Light-Being.

If we follow this train of thought then this Hell we live on now is slowly shifting into a heaven. Which would seem to be supported by the vast amount of 'Angels' on this planet right now slowly reforming the old doctrine into the new, unbreakable, doctrine.

What are you thoughts on this? Do you believe the earth to be a hell or perhaps you see it as a Purgatory. I would be interested to hear peoples thoughts on this.

How can you believe in God and Satan at the same time? In the bible it says God is the "Alpha and Omega. Everything that Was, Everything that Is, and Everything That Ever Will Be." So if you believe in Satan, then the word 'God' is misconceptualized.

Only christians seem to revel in punishment, damnation, and suffering. You might want to think about that.

This planet can be your personal heaven or hell. It's your choice.

It is neither.

And it is what you make of it.

My thoughts, pretty simple.
The Kingdom of Heaven is within.
I'm in it most of the time - what a life I have now!!! Shazam!

No don't!!!

If your talking a place where there is a choice between "salvation" and " eternal damnation", id have to say, not to many. It isnt even an original christian concept. Even the word "Hell" , is germanic, not even middle eastern ( like messiah is) or greek ( like christ is).

Some have sort of similar philosophies. Greeks had hades, but thats where EVERYONE goes. If im not mistakin there were many different levels of hades, but it was just the "underworld", not a place where the bad go to be tortured for all eternity.

Funny thing too, the old testament, mentioned nothing at all about such a place. Its funny becasue the old testament was written well before the first century AD, and the OT was the inspiration for christianity ( not really the OT, as much as the jewish texts, which a number make up the OT).

that's a good analogy, Caretaker...I can see how you would get there.

Makes sense to me.

Earth fills up, more and more people come. And the good usually seldom (if never) wins in this world.

So all u said makes perfectly sense, but still its just a theory^^

(but a good one :p)

The book "Conversations with God" says that the devil was created by man because at the time, woman ruled and the men were the slaves and seen only good for impregnating a woman. Man used fear of evil to gain power. And that is how the whole devil/evil thing started.
