What if this world is actually hell?

Question

It seems the entire world is actually the Pandora's box of all evils. Instead of all evils found in the world, the world IS actually the evils. It is all about pains, sufferings and deaths. It is about torments and punishments (e.g. by societies) of all means. The occasional sweetness and reasons between torments even made such torments more reasonlessly arbitrary and violent.

Answer 1

The "hell" concept is an idea invented by the Institutional Religions. No parent, let alone a Divine Father, would put their child into eternal fire. This world is the starting point in a potentially eternal career and there will be many delightful tarrying spots along the path to Paradise.

Answer 2

But if this world is hell then everything would be bad. We wouldn't even have that occasional sweetness. Also I believe that evilness is caused by the devil and that it is a test for us to see if we are worthy of heaven I guess badness and goodness come together. Because some people are living in happiness.



I think that this world isn't hell as hell could be much worse no happiness would be found in a place where evil is around, and I'm sure one point in your life you have found happiness which is the work of God that didn't play in hell.

Answer 3

It is, There are 13 realms in all. The 13th realm is where God lives along with all those who didn't fall from Heaven with Adam and Eve. We were created there before our fall. We live on the 9th realm which is the highest realm of hell. Since by reincarnation, we have worked ourselves up from the 1st realm which is the lowest, we should understand that hell is not eternal but only temporary. Our reason for our material bodies is to improve our character and work our way back to where we first lived - Heaven.

Answer 4

It's both a great place and a terrible place.



Live near an erupting Volcano? Have a tornado drop down on your trailer park? have your ship sink, and now your in a lifeboat in the middle of the ocean?



There are places on Earth that are instant death. Antarctica, The North Pole, the middle of a thousand mile desert, and…



There are beautiful parks of green grass, bubbling creeks of clean water, and bluebirds chirping, kids laughing and playing, and teen crushes and whatever, Planet Earth is all things, and it is the only place we can exist without dying instantly without a spacesuit on.

Answer 5

I knew a very troubled boy who made this argument to me. He was so charismatic but so lost. He paradoxically loved and despised life simultaneously and he died at 18 in a tragic violent way.



So I can tell you for him life was Hell. He believed it, he raised Hell, and I hope he's no longer in that state of furry.

Answer 6

When I was a teen, I got the idea that it`s a kind of purgatory..

wherein there is divinity and retribution,

great unmissable bits but sometimes the payment is hellish..

msaybe that unsophisticated reasoning was not toofar out after all,

for Westerners anyway,,you are talkng concepts..that was my immature concept.

Answer 7

That's a diffrent perspective but life is what you make it. Life can be great or it can be hell on earth. I understand what you mean though.

Answer 8

It is a simple mathematical conversion without any multiplication, division, subtraction or addition.



At the same time don't pollute the moral atmosphere around.

Answer 9

Hell is a biblical concept. Ask them.

Answer 10

Then where would the real world be? The real world has problems, too, so how do we know what the real world would be? I'm pretty sure this is the real world (*Sigh* I hope..)

Answer 11

Ancient Europeans wrote about Ages of Man.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_Man



There are also many other references to various

types of world ages or Ages of Man in Hopi

(worlds), Mayan (suns) and other cultures of

antiquity. Giorgio de Santillana, the former

professor of the history of science, mentions

approximately thirty ancient cultures that

believed in the concept of a series of ages and

the rise and fall of history, with alternating

Dark and Golden Ages.



More details of these Ages are available in the

Yuga concept of the Hindus. The present age

is known as Kali Yuga (age of darkness).
