Hell is NOT a Lake of Fire. There is NO Endless Punishment

it actually depends on how you interpret the bible...

yah agree, just like reading any book/s, If it make sense make no other sense.

[Hellblazer]

one can know what is a parable and what is not. like for example if we we read... Jesus wept... He really wept. Jesus was crucified, died and raise on the third day... and he did.

really? what if i tell you he didn't die on the cross? what if he never resurrected?

not a good rule of thumb though.....different people take/interpret things differently.

...see how "disorganized" organized religion is.

that's the reality of being human. it's happening not exclusively on the christian faith. also in politics and even in atheism, different interpretation for different folks.

[Hellblazer]

For thousands of years the religious and civil leaders of virtually every major nation and culture on earth have used the fear and terror of a future "hell" to keep their citizens (always considered dumb sheep by the elite clerics and governors) obedient to the whims of their authority. This practice continues unabated to this day, and the majority of the human race has ignorantly bought it.

don't forget Atheist like Stalin, Marx and Mao. They did not employ the fear of hell but of entirely different thing.

[Hellblazer]

fear is a motivating factor.

at least those guys focused on REALITY....rather than fictional "hell"(which varies as per belief/custom).haha

Hell is for real......People who don't believe in the existing of hell are those people who have lots of fear in their hearts and just want to escape the reality of Judgement Day... I'm sure of that...
