[QUOTE="Grumpy Old Man, post: 58505795, member: 291636"] I'm reading, these days, that more and more Christians are conflicted about what Hell actually is. Some believe it's a place of eternal physical torment. Other's believe it is just death - the grave - and an absence of God. These Christians say that our modern understanding of Hell is warped because of Dante and Milton (I've heard this several times now from different sources, one being someone else on these forums). Hell is a big turn off for me in believing in a loving God. It's a cliché I know, but a true one nonetheless. I find it hard to believe that a benevolent God would submit someone to eternal torment. If we, as humans, can find torture repulsive, shouldn't God? If we are made in his image, why has our morality superseded his in this regard? So, tell me about Hell. What's the truth? Is it a real place of eternal fiery torment or is this a distorted medieval representation of a place that is much less scary? [/QUOTE]
