why do religious people think that non believers (of their own religion) are not only destined, but worthy, of hell? Can anyone tell me, what 'sin' can be justified by a punishment of eternal, never ending, unimaginable torment?
Its something I cant wrap my head around. People who think like this (to my mind at least) must be psychopaths.
At least Goodlife (as a JW) believes that hell is no more than the grave but others such as keyplus believe it to be literal, as do Catholics, protestants and others.
One small life, followed by ETERNAL torture for not believing in the 'right' religion? What kind of psychopathic God is this?
I really do not expect the religious folk on here to respond because there is no justification for such a barbaric belief.

Hell is not a place but more an adjective. Describing a state of mind of the recipient.

OMG, think about it. Child abuse is aborrent, the people who perpetrate it are aborrant. But would you HONESTLY want to see the perpertrators inflicted with the utmost torture imaginable for all off eternity?
I was abused by a teacher when I was young and I imagine (40 years later) all sorts off things I'd like to inflict upon him, but ETERNAL torture?
No thanks, That would make me worse than him, Hitler or the devil..

Nailit, it was obvious from the start you wouldn't get the answers you wanted - sadly that is the way.

If you want to believe that torturing people with never ending pain will do any good then thats your perogative I guess. Its not for me.

Oh OK, I thought this was 'Answerbank', not, ' I already know, the Answerbank'
My mistake.

According to some religions, far less serious crimes (according to the human psyche) than those mentioned warrant eternity in hell. Not believing in God is one of them. That's me getting a good sun tan then!! Who needs Barbados?!
