    Hey guys

    Do you believe in hell what do you think is there ? Is there a Devil ? What's a Demon ?
    Those questions are for you to answer so basicly they are rhetorical. They dont need an answer but you can answer in your opinion.

    hell is just an idea create by human to control thier behavoir during the Old Days, just like any human created idea, it cant be proven or disproven or real. Something that cant be proven real doesnt mean its isnt real but something that cant be proven isnt real doesnt mean its real.

    for example, Hell is a really nice place to leave, just like Hawaii and they have lot of Catgirl to serve you, can you prove or disprove that Hell itsnt like what i said?

    i dont belive in hell or heaven or god.

    Solus, if you dont know what to belive, belive in yourself.

    I don't believe in hell either, it's just a myth or a religious belief.

    Hell started out and still is, a scared tactic. Just like Equitypetey quoted: 'I'd rather believe in God all my life and find out there isn't one than not believe in him and find out there is one' or something on the lines of that.

    Not only does hell try to frighten you if you are religious, it's also meant to frighten non-religious people, obviously.

    Hell doesn't exist, or do you know anybody who was there and said it sucks?

    if someone from the dead came back and told us about hell, then we'd all would not be acting up.
    besides, it's impossible to comeback to life after being dead.

    most myths and religions do have a concept of an afterlife where sinners are punished. so at least we can all agree on that when it comes to religious wars.

    i do believe that the existance of hell is possible. if in this world wrong duers are punished, then that would suggests that in the after life, those who committed foul acts and such are probably punished. boy is hell crowded, which should be a good thing.

    "Sin" is a man made idea. Who says that killing someone is wrong? As a society we would say that it's wrong, but murder is a natural thing, animals do it all the time. Some kill for food (sadly, some humans do the same) and territorial reasons, like man. Other acts of wrong doing are only wrong because we say they're wrong. Then again, maybe there's some higher being or knowledge inside us that tells us what's right and what's wrong, the only way we'll find out is after death.

    Humans are the only creatures that kill for pleasure, apart from baboons.

    that is correct, but i'm not sure about the baboon part.

    when animals kill other animals, bear eating fish or lion eating a deer, they're for survival.

    in today's world, you don't kill someone to survive, you work to survive. humans killing humans is not based on for survival, it is the tradition or culture that the group holds that make them kill other people. that [culture and/or tradition] is a human creation.

    animals killing their own is for their own survival [survival of the fittest], such as a tiger mother who would eat her cub if she can't find something to eat. the mother lives and the child dies because the child is useless without the mother and no other mother would want the child, so if the mother is dead by nature then the cub is dead. even in those movie scenes where the doctor has a decision to make on rather the mother lives or the child dies, it is more likely the mother lives and the child dies. if the child dies, she can always procure another child, where as if the child is alive there would be no mother to take care of the child. remember, by nature, the mother is important to the child as she takes care, nurture, and educate the child.

    Some baboons kill and canalize enemy baboons, even when there is food around, the reason is unknown.

    maybe it's to show it's their part of the land, their part of the food. maybe a way of saying this is mine.

    is it typically enemies that get's killed or even those within their family?

    They don't eat their family, they'll take the enemy territory and eat parts of the enemy baboon, so I wouldn't be sure if it's for food. I suppose your right about letting other know that it's "their territory now", but it's still not known exactly why they eat them of all things.
