Nobody goes to hell

Has it really taken him so much efforts and time to realise there is not such a thing as hell or heaven unless we make it ourselves????

That's an interesting article, thanks for posting. What is your personal belief on heaven and hell?

So you're saying that our works determine our fate?

Are passages like these null and avoid? This along with Matthew 25 and Revelation 20 sure don't make it sound like hell is anything but real. Eternal punishment is contrasted with eternal life.

Don't bother Aaron. Mindful is neither Mormon nor Christian. Remember, your mission is directed to the Mormons. Focus.

I have to disagree, mindful. There very much is a hell and we can even find out in advance which level we're headed to: http://www.4degreez.com/misc/dante-inferno-test.mv

The idea of heaven and hell has never made sense to me. Even when I was a missionary teaching the plan of salvation, I knew in my heart that it wasn't true. It all sounded so silly to me. Why would a God that was able to create a universe settle for such a simple-minded plan?

Looks like I am just going to purgatory. Nice...

Maybe it's because you really don't understand the plan.

It seems silly to refer to a Hollywood movie to describe heaven and hell, but the movie What Dreams May Come is as close as possible to describe how I view it.

Hell was awful in the movie, but it wasn't something a fierce judgemental God was forcing on people to torture them. They had self selected it due to their mental state.
