Hell

I can’t think of many poeple who desere to go to hell, but people who teach its existence to vulnerable children are prime candidates. - Richard Dawkins

Hell

There is one very serious defect to my mind in Christ's moral character, and that is that He believed in hell. I do not myself feel that any person who is really profoundly humane can believe in everlasting punishment. - Bertrand Russell

Who believes in Hell? Is it a terrible place to which we sinners are condemned? Or is it a place of the imagination, fuelled by fears that have built upon the superstitions and religious relics of our society? - S. Kaye Saunders

Hell doesn't exist. Paradise doesn't exist.... they are only subjective dimensions of our minds, crystallized in ether formed by our active thoughts. In these regions, our inner sufferings last and multiply. - Maurizio Cavallo

The concept of hell doesn't fit the mould of a loving God. The god of the bible did not exist in any form, and ALL other gods were made up. Hell is imaginary, and Organized Religion only uses it to justify their religious dogma. No God of religion exists, and all holy books are no more than man-made mythology. As you live through intellectual honesty, you will reject the doctrine of hell and choose truth as your authority, rejecting authority as your truth. - Jawara D. King

Hell. It's one of those topics you don't bring up in polite conversation. Yet, according to a 2004 Gallup poll, 70 percent of Americans believe in hell. What exactly they believe about hell is not spelled out, but you can be sure that lots of colourful ideas are out there. Unfortunately, many of them originate from urban legends, spittle-spewing "fire and brimstone" preachers, and B-grade horror films (or some unfortunate combination of the three). - Sean McDowell

Hell

All I know is that if God loves me only half as much as my mother does, he will not send me to Hell. - Lin YuTang

Hell doesn't even exist ... It's all in our minds. We invented it as a warning to those who don't live up to our standards. - S. Kaye Saunders

Hell doesn't exist. It is a creation by traditions of men and a misunderstanding of the Scriptures. - Leif A. Werner

Hell is a state of mind. It is a remnant of ancient man's fears and an anachronism from our primitive past. I disavow it; therefore, it does not exist. - S. Kaye Saunders

I have no fear of the Hereafter. An orthodox hell could hardly be more torture than my life has been. - Robert E. Howard

If there is in fact, a heaven and a hell, all we know for sure is that hell will be a viciously overcrowded version of Phoenix. - Hunter S. Thompson

If you're going through hell, keep going. - Winston Churchill

There are materials enough in every man's mind to make a hell there. - Henry Ward Beecher

To those who wish to punish others – or at least to see them punished, if the avengers are too cowardly to take matters in to their own hands – the belief in a fiery, hideous hell appears to be a great source of comfort. - Steve Allen

We do not believe in heaven or hell, yet no statistic will ever find that without these blandishments and threats we commit more crimes of greed or violence than the faithful. - Christopher Hitchens

Heaven and Hell are, in my opinion, much like God: a feel-good idea that swims in the minds of people, but has little bearing in reality. It's also a nifty way to control people through fear. - Unknown

Heaven

Heaven goes by favour. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in. - Mark Twain

If you keep your eyes so fixed on Heaven that you never look at the Earth, you will stumble into Hell. - Austin O’Malley

In heaven, all the interesting people are missing. - Friedrich Nietzsche

Of all the inventions of man I doubt whether any was more easily accomplished than that of a Heaven. - Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

To emphasize the afterlife is to deny life. To concentrate on heaven is to create hell. - Tom Robbins
