::::: I believe the question was "where is Hell", not "Who goes there". The answer is probably the similar to "where is Heaven?", which is most likely somewhere not physical. As for the nature, I don't think it's as much fire and brimstone or physical punishment as it would be psychological and emotional. Knowing you blew your one chance, you are segregated from God would be far greater punishment than flaming whips. [[User:ENorman|ENorman]] 21:54, 20 February 2009 (EST)

:::::: (interposed) I don't know anyone who sincerely denies the existence of the unseen, the spiritual, etc.  Sure, there are materialists who will play the fool and claim nothing unseen exists, but I doubt they even believe that.

:::::: As to the rest of your statement, people obviously get more than "one chance", but it's not infinity.  Justice necessarily entails harsh punishment for harsh crimes, and even the death penalty here on Earth.  Perhaps Hell is being ruled by the devil, and yes he does enjoy whipping and burning people to to an unimaginable extent.  In fact, he delights in it.  Suit yourself in trying to downplay it.  Logic and evidence say you're wrong.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 22:26, 20 February 2009 (EST)

:::::: I don’t think people are teaching others that hell does not exist, it is just a belief they carry and they shouldn’t be punished for it (I’ll return to this idea in a moment). And I think we should worry about how ‘God’ will deal with those who are ‘in complete darkness’ because it raises an interesting point. Christianity is relatively new when looking at the scope of Human existence, so what is to say its doctrines are right and all others are wrong? Do all ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptian’s, and so on go to hell because they did not accept the Christian teachings? And why is it relevant if they use the internet or visit this site? It’s not in my opinion. Furthermore, to reply to Ed, homosexuals are just as loving and caring as any heterosexual person is, so why do they deserve to be punished? And Andy, I am from Canada and we do not have the death penalty, which is very beneficial I believe. The state should not have the right to put someone to death (but that is another debate). And I completely disagree that atheism is selfishness and deceit in disguise. Returning to my point at the beginning of my post, I believe in this: Atheists are simply questioning their existence, they are seeking another truth that is not god. Therefore, IF god does exist, an atheist should not be punished by god for simply utilizing their cognitive ability to question their existence and creation, assuming god is ‘all loving.’ And if the atheist is right, well, we all know how that story ends. – Conservativedude.
