even though i dont believe in god, i do like the idea of occult etc. maybe its just the vertigo comics getting to my head.
as i havent read ALL the posts as i was faaar too lazy to do something of the sort...
I believe there is a hell, though it is not of the same uhh realm if you may, as "Lucifer" was cast out of heaven at the end of "The war in Heaven" he had lead the rebellion and blah blah blah anyways hell would not be eternal punishment and never will be, as why would "Lucifer" punish those who sinned against god, it is infact confused with the Purgatory which is noted to be where your sins are burned from you, and such if you ask for forgiveness before death, hell itself would be... colder by quite alot, and through Budhist meditation i experianced a VERY cold feeling in the soles of my feet, which was according to the man who was told me about it... what hell was supposed to be where you felt hell, as you know there are known to be 7 Hells and each one is different, your death if all of this god and devil thing is true more of a... a recruitment of the sort to show who you prefer, also most of it has been exagerated to deplete the Pagan religions of their power so as the church would take over.
