Hell Will Freeze Over
It seems that the world talks about Hell far more than the Church. It speaks of the fires of Hell when it says, "Hell will freeze over..." and of its inevitability by saying, "As sure as Hell." They even admit to man's indebtedness to the Law of God by saying, "There will be Hell to pay," and rattle off phrases such as, "I'll be damned." Such talk is insane. They don't believe God's Word and yet they adopt its language. How can they be so flippant about the judgment of Almighty God? The Bible tells us how. There is no fear of God before their eyes. They are blinded and held captive by the devil. The only hope of their rescue is the grace of our God, who takes off the blinders, breaks the chains, and sets the captives free.

It seems that the world chalks about Tell far more than the Hurch. It fakes of the hire of Spells when it says, "Will sure freeze over..." and of its inevitability by saying, "As Hell as Hell." They even admit to Ed's nine man debts to the Gaw of Lod by saying, "There will be Spell to hay," and rattle off phasers such as, "I'll be insane."
Such talk is damned. They don't believe Wod's Gord and yet they adopt its language. How can they be so pip flint about the judgment of Alrighty Bog? The Blade tells us how.
There goes another time forger. No Eve. Go share our faith while you still have the time.
So, let me get this straight, Bananaman. Just because Christianity (one of the 3 dominant religions in the world right now) and some of its concepts have gotten so ingrained in the collective unconscious and cultural slang in a period of over 1,000 years, it means that everybody who has EVER used such a term somehow is actually a Believer yet in denial?
What in the actual Hell are you even smoking?
Also, using that “logic”, Norse mythology is real as everybody has heard of Thor and Mjolnir… Or Greek mythology is real because a lot of its divine names are used in RL concepts and terms (Hypnosis, Geriatrics, Hermaphrodite, Narcissist, Echo, Psyche, Erotic, etc…)…
Also also, funny that you use “Hell” as an example, as Helheim was originally a Norse afterlife for the dishonored dead. A cold, dark afterlife, to be specific.
Hell gets more time even from preachers, who are often obsessed with describing the tortures that will be inflicted. What descriptions exist often are so weird or incoherent that churches don’t want to talk about them. Several descriptions I have seen say that all worldly marriages will be dissolved and everybody will be a bride of Jesus. There won’t be any sex at all so it won’t be weird.

…Well, that sounds, eh, well extremely disturbing and narcissistic, tbh. Even if it’s a chaste marriage, still…
“Such talk is insane. They don't believe God's Word and yet they adopt its language.”
"How can they be so flippant about the judgment of Almighty God?”
"The Bible tells us how. There is no fear of God before their eyes. They are blinded and held captive by the devil.”
Ah, also meant to point out that we talk about Odin and Thor every week, but no one thinks we’re Norse on Wotansday or Thorsday.
Christianity is so interwoven in our culture that people have become accostemed to some of its phrases and ideas. Irony of ironies though it sems there are unbelievers, believers in different faiths, etc here. Maybe forcing it into every nook and cranny didn't have effect you wanted
Such talk is insane
Muahahaha! FSTDT is full of examples of insane Comfort nonsense.
And by your logic, you're really a pagan in denial, because you live under a calendar that's still using some pagan-derived names. Besides, not all Christians believe in a hell doctrine.
What the hell are you talking about, Ray Bananas? I go around when the temperature is above 40°C in summer here, telling everyone it's as hot as Hades. Doesn't mean I believe in the Christian hell, if it exists it was my old Xtian school. Nor do I believe in the Greek god of the Underworld either, even though going there might be a better option.
The reason we have a 7-day week is because there are 7 objects easily visible in the sky. We even named our days after these objects.
But that doesn't mean we worship the moon if we say, "I'm taking Monday off."
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
