This actually reminded me of something that I've never tought of since leaving the Church.

If Christian dogma is flawed and Hell and all that aren't actually real, what the f*ck happened in those exorcisms the church used to perform on people?! I suddenly feel very sorry for them.

But what if there is a Hell?

What if you go outside and get shot, you should stay indoors all the time. What if your house falls down, you should stay out doors all the time. What is their is no God and Odin is the real god? You are F'ed either way. 😉

We are ****ed. Luckily, for a belief to be passed as true, it has to follow the 3 things: Logic, deduction and evidence. Your concept of Hell fails all 3. When this happens, not only should your theory be discarded, but you we must ask where you got that theory from.

They were mentally and emotionially abused by the church. The church convincing them that they are possessed.. 🙁

A sad possibility. Most were probably just mental illnesses of one sort or another that the Church misinterpreted. But since I was a hardcore Catholic for a long time (briefly considered the priesthood) I know for a fact that our diocese (and most others) has an official exorcist in case of demonic possession. As medical science progresses, the cases of exorcisms has lessened (thankfully) but still...a scarily archaic tradition.

It sounds like some of them are bit weird for your tastes. Cases of exorcisms have never really been well explained. I think the Catholic Church has a policy of medical treatment before an exorcism is attempted and that successful treatment has to be confirmed by a doctor.

The point is what do you have to lose if there is a Hell?

Free will, common sense and the ability to evolve 😉

The point is why you would live your life that way, what if it was false and you go to whatever because you believed in a “false” god and the list could go on and on. You really don’t want to know the answer to this question because you don’t care.

There is a Hell: it's just not a place you go when you die. There is no big judgment at the end of time, or what ever. Hell is one of the ten worlds we live in every moment of every day.
