Plain Talker Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 But in Greek mythology, they don't have a heaven and hell do they? didn't they believe that all the dead went to Hades? (I don't know for sure) In Greek Mythology, Hades was an Underworld, where all the dead dwelt after death. there were no separate places for good or bad per se. Sheol, the Hebrew, means the grave or the pit. again, there is no differentiation between good and bad, all dead people go there. In New testament terminology, and in Islam, there is the concept of Gehenna (Heb) or Jannah(arab) (loose translation "Paradise" or "Garden") Jahannam(Arab) is translated as Hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karis Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Thats people, you know human beings, not OLD NICK, SATAN, THE DEVIL. Can't you separate fantasy from reality. There are evil people but, Grahame my friend some of them call themselves christians. Not all evil people are atheists:D:love: That's not fair. Graham was agreeing with me about people doing evil acts purely because they're evil! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeX Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Hades..... hades is the greek god of the underworld. i can only assume you are trying to say that the word "grave" in english translates to "tartarus" from the ancient greek as this was the closest the greeks had to our modern day hell, however you have gone well beyond assumption to the realm of make-believe here. there is no correlation between the words.

metaphoria Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 so the book of Job, in the bible, where satan is permitted to plague Job, is not plain enough for you. Grahame?? The story of Job has a good ending though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 No, we're not rejecting it, we're using free will to expose single issue fanatics who aren't even able to argue their case logically. What aren't you rejecting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Talker Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I'm talking about murder and rape and a host of other things which are against the law of God. you'll find that Murder and rape etc are against the laws of most societies, whether modern or ancient, Christian, any other religion, or secular.

Gormenghast Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 What aren't you rejecting? Free will. Perhaps you are scared of what your free will, and freedom of speech, allows you to do and think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 The proof is the number of Christians today. that's a ludicrous statement. the proof could be the number of people who put "Jedi" as their religion on the Census return form. Or even the number of Sikhs, Hindus, Jews, Muslims, Wiccans, Pagans Animists, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
