first of all, it's ridiculous. it was invented to scare people on earth. no ones ever been and came back, no one can verify it exists
second of all, why don't you believe in Hades? or the thousand other versions of 'hell' there have been? i just believe in one less than you do
Who said i don't believe in Hades?
Luke 16:23 'And in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side.'
Do you know it is ridiculous? Do you know it was invented to scare people on earth? Or is that your opinion. I asked you what your reason was for not believing in Hell, you never gave me a reason rather you gave me subjective opinions on it being ridiculous and it being invented to scare people. What is your reason for not believing in Hell.
The whole point of Hell is you cant come back, so no one being able to go and come back to verify it would be compatible with the concept of its existence, are you relying on the idea that if no one can verify it it mustn't be true? Because that is a false premise. No one can verify the big bang and the theory of evolution. I'm sure you have a idea or an opinion on the origin of life and this planet, could you verify that to me if i asked you?
But in fact that are very many people who claim they have gone to hell and come back, after being clinically dead or being taken there by God, do you believe in these accounts? You can youtube them and listen if you want and if you conclude that you don't believe in then if someone has gone to hell and come back to verify it would you believe them? Funnily enough the Luke verse i quoted you in the beginning is from a story in the bible where a man asks God to send him back to earth to warn his family, God replies that they have the prophets and if they wont believe them then even if he does come back the people still will not believe him.
