There is just one problem with hell: according to popular believe hell is an eternal darkness. As well as fire and brimstone.

But the two just don’t go together. I mean, fire is light. So how the hell can hell be dark?

Anyway, if it is dark you should be quite safe. And comfy. Being a South African you should be quite used to darkness right now.

The Bible declares that the natural man (the one without the Spirit of God – the unrepentant) does not understand these things because they are spiritually discerned.

1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

You are blessed with the light of the sun during the day and the light of the moon and the stars during the night and yet you walk in darkness (spiritual darkness). Your eyes are blinded by darkness; your hearts are blinded by darkness and by virtue of this terrible darkness you cannot see the Light because you wander and stumble in the darkness. According to Scripture the sun will be obssolete in heaven because God Himself will be their Light. Guess what? There will be no true life-giving Light in hell because those who go to hell will be separated from God (the True Light) for all eternity.

Paul wrote:

But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. (Acts 26:16-18)

Once again, Hugo and those who are following Hugo, I urge you to repent before it is too late.

Its about acceptance and understanding of culture that makes a religion. The unchangeable nature of most religions makes it impossible for those religions to adapt to modern age. I believe Islam will be one of the last religions fighting non belief. the world needs another jesus or someone who can relate jesus's lessons to a modern culture. The way religion is going to survive the onslaught of the scientific, naturalism and rationalism is going to make or break god. As an atheist by implementation a naturalists, life is so much more beautiful and unique without god and i believe allot of atheist will relate to the deeper meaning of my words. It will be a matter of who desires life more and in the end society will make the best decision in order to survive. Single core of evolution. Survival of specie!!!!
