Not only Christians but many other organized religions
cirucumscribe, dictate and one is reduced to bondage. So to merely
assume that only Christianity has such a belief is relatively
untrue. From Buddhism to Hinduism to Islam ..... add on,
scrutinize, study the texts, the sutras, the scriptures and one
would see the folly of excusivity and the distortion.
True religion if it is in essence religious - it is freeing, it
is unlearning ..
Hell nor heaven exists in reality excepting psycholgical
hangovers 'which modern man is obviously reluctant to admit
to.
Hell is a state of mind and heaven is also a state of mind. It
is the divisiveness within oneself that causes the misery, the
fear.
It is this polarizing stance(s) that has many hoping for
religion to save oneself or them. Sadly, it is not going to happen,
it is mere psychological placebo!
