Hell does exist, and believe it or not, the hellish planets were designed by God (yes it's true) as divine correctional facilities for all of the errant souls who refuse to change the fact of their sin-infested existences and live a more saintly life.

Ok,.. God designed the hellish planets,.. I can accept that. I can even stretch to the prediction being valid as far as I am not a fortune teller and you are. But, you are (likely) a self confessed sinner, and not a saint as far as I know. You clearly believe your own words,.. so why aren't you completely freaked out by the implications? Can't you see that some of the people who you are condemming are better behaved than you, and maybe deserve hell a little less.
"Hell does exist, and believe it or not,"There is no evidence to support that assertion.
"the hellish planets were designed by God (yes it's true) as divine correctional facilities for all of the errant souls who refuse to change the fact of their sin-infested existences and live a more saintly life."
The existence of planets with conditions unsuitable for human life does not show that such planets are hell.
Prove that God exists.
Prove that God designed something, anything.
Hell, as described in the Bible, is not a correctional facility. It is eternal torment. No correction is required as those bannished to hell are not to be released.
Prove that souls exists and that humans have souls.
Unless you prove that God exists and gives a big rat's ass about what we do, sin does not exist.
I hate to tell you, but a fake-fundie already made the claim that hell is on Venus. Do a Google seach in alt.politics.homosexuality for Venus and Lurlean. You'll get a long list of comments.
Y'know, I could get on board with some of the ideas behind Hell if it weren't for that pesky "forever" clause that most fundies like to insert. I mean, there are some people who deserve to be locked up for a very, very long time. There are some people who need to realize that the attitudes they hold and the things that they've done are Really Not Cool, and if we could stick them in a place that would teach them some empathy for the suffering, I would be cool with that. But the eternity clause just sucks all the sense out of any kind of punishment.

I like how he adds "yes it's true" as though that's really going to convince us.
Oh dear, get with the times, the latest conspicary theory / cheap crappy apologetics is "Intelligent" Designer, not "Infernal" Designer.
WORSHIP ME OR I CAST THEE OUT!!!
Proof or evidence of this hell, please, and exactly how you found out "it's true", about those hellish planets.
"Change the fact of their[...]existence". Can you change a fact? Why not change the behaviour, rather than the fact?
'youcantkillgod2007'? Your 'God may have been at the centre of human thinking, but since the Renaissance, resulting scientific discoveries have been pushing God further and further from that centre. Right now, he's hanging by his last fingernail on the edge of that platform. One day, which may come very soon, he'll be plunged into the Abyss of Human Irrelevance, to join all the other fictional deities of mythological yore - after all, who worships Amun-Ra or Zeus anymore? Thus God WILL Be killed. We made him, we can break him.
The Christian Church may have had absolute power centuries ago, but the rot set in with said Renaissance. And now it's clinging on to it's last vestiges of power, with you fundie sheeple bleating along in lockstep, bleating the same old dogmatic platitudes. But we're not afraid anymore. And that's what scares you. No longer having power . The fact we refuse to be controlled by you & your ilk is the worst possible thing for you.
Welcome to YOUR Hell.
I'm starting to see why these dinks are Pro-Death Penalty. Their view on what punishment is, and what it's supposed to do is dangerously narrow. Hurt those who hurt me. No more, no less. So if they are not suffering every moment they are incarcerated, they are not being "punished." Never mind these people are...well...people, or that the objective is that they're to come out a better person (ideally.) They must suffer to appease the public. Which ties to their belief in hell. There's no chance to learn, no hope for "rehabilitation." You are to suffer to appease the Fundie Morality. That's it, that's all.
“Hell does exist,”
“and believe it or not,”
“the hellish planets were designed by God (yes it's true)”
“as divine correctional facilities for all of the errant souls who refuse to change the fact of their sin-infested existences and live a more saintly life.”
And why would this be on a planet?
This is nonsensical.
What's the point anyway? If sin is destiny and it leads to eternal punishment, your only possible way out may be to rebel against "God's Law and System" to hopefully change something about it. Then if Satanism is reverse-Christianity, it suddenly becomes rather appealing. But in reality it's even simpler, just admit that it's only human tradition and claims. That our mortal state is not because of some inherited curse, but because we're part of nature. There are no immortal mammals.
Considering that mercury is the closest to the sun, it could be your syncretic "hell planet": In Dante's inferno, he had the fantasy of deeper levels of hell becoming more dense and mineral. It seems that when the solar system formed, with accretion disk(s), the most massive material moved closer to the sun by gravity, forming rocky planets with icon cores, with the least dense parts forming the gas giants. Since Earth is a rocky planet, one could then argue that it's "Dante's Hell"?
But even those of your religion disagree about hell's existence and plausibility. Some also had to invent the concept of temporary hell punishment or purgatory. Others say eternal punishment is eternal death, not deserving a chance at resurrection. Afterall, there are verses saying that the fate of humans is like that of other animals, that the dead know nothing, etc. (Ecclesiastes 3:19, Ecclesiastes 9:5).
IRT "You can't kill God": what if it was a magician who died at Babel? What if he matured, then after the flood, when he regretted it, he decided to never interfere with humans again, sick of making his little toys suffer for fun? What if it never existed in the first place, except in the human imagination and some particular human traditions? Because there also were older human-created deities too.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
