I didn't realize my post and been popped from the plain ol forum to the debate forum, so I hve not responded to anyone's replies. (I thought it had been considered to be a nasty post for some reason and so it was deleted...but apparently the line between discussion and debate in this venue is miiiiighty thin! (Not a complaint, just an observation.)
I posted this as a question to try to get clear on whether there is such a thing as hell or not. My feeling is there is not, but then I am not a religious person. Most religions are very into hell, fear of hell, and the wrath of God. I have never had a near death experience, so I have no personal ground to stand on and must rely on the experiences of others, but his sort of hellish torture type thinking to me is very medieval.
Anyway, I assume this dude was having an out of body experience....not a physical one. So brain boiling would not be an issue.....
