What the hell?

Does Hell, as a place where people have sinned are tortured for the whole eternity, really exist?

Actually my doubt does not really started only now, but after my conversation with debbie tonight, hmm actually she said something very interesting. Average age of life is around 60-65 years old, and for the first 5 years we did not really understand the concept of sin, so we could hardly be called "to have comitted sin" during that period. 60 years left. Of course we can not sin for those whole 60 years.. Let's call for a 50% of those period, we have sinned. Of course we must have done many good things too, right? another 50%? OK, it's 15 years of sins accumulated.
So, for that 15 years of sins, we have to spend the whole eternity in punishment, tortured, burnt.. Does it make sense???

OK, some religions would say, it would, may not be logical, but hey, you can't confront faith with logical..
**Yeah, right**
But what happened to the full of love God? Is he transforming into a strict, mathematical based judge? That's why he's called just? Rome catholic church would then say that it's the mystery of God, and our mind is just too limited to be able to reach even 1% of God wisdoms.

Honestly, I don't really believe that hell does exist.

All the concept of Hell, FROM ALL RELIGIONS, is a place of PHYSICAL torture, well bad news, for eternity. But it's all physical. And sensations of pain is somehow controlled by the brain. If we're dead, our souls will be tortured, but it's always physical. You got burnt, cut your tongue off when you talked bad too much about other people, cut your hands off if you stole, etc etc etc. However, what is worse than emotional torture? The feeling of lost, of despair, of everything bad. Everything we have gone through....

What is more hell than this our own world where we're living now?


We are born like a white blank paper, but we die like a full novel.... When we die, we bring all our values, believes, our thoughts with our soul.. They don't just vanish and disappear..

I have read some stories about people having a short journey after life before they were brought back to life.
Moslems would say that they saw all the things they believe as their faith, they see big arabic characters of Allah, a man that you couldn't see the face;
Christians would say that they saw Jesus. Catholics have more immagination, they also see, other than Jesus, Mary, St. Peter, the angels, etc.;
Buddhists would say that they saw the Buddha himself;
Taoist saw the Judge Bao, and before that, the guards in black and white robe with long tongue.

Which one is true?
All are.
Because it's what they believe to be true when they are alive. When one dies that's what he would see.

If I dont believe in any, what would I see when I die????
