* you don't believe in hell? how about the teachings of Jesus? the book of Revelation? that does not mean anything? hell exists, but it is not for good people, it is for the evil... God's love also includes justice... 😉

Is an allegory not a literal story.

Doesn't that define the Bible?

Well I believe in Sheol/Hades and the Lake of Fire/Tartarus. Hell is used and includes both these terms and is therefore misleading which is why I don't use it because they are seperate.

Revelations are allegories.

Primarily yes. But Revelations is a special case since its allegories have nothing at all to do with religious life.

Correct. It was an anti-Roman propaganda code book.

Against Nero I believe.

Yes, 666 = Nero

If I remember correctly, at that time people were very afraid to speak out and many people spoke in code. I also read somewhere that Nostradamus also spoke in code during his time against the Authorities.

Oh my God, Nero was such a horrible person

Hell was created for Satan and his fallen angels not men, but if man doesn't turn away from there sin and repent they will be cast into hell/hades.
