Re: No Room for Hell
We cannot really speculate on the nature of God - we have to know from what the knowers of God say or its equivalent through scriptures.
The hell is really out there. We cannot wish it away by arguments like God is a parent etc. If God were such a parent as you imagine then even in this world there would be happiness all around. How do you explain so much misery that we face? So why cant a hell exist as well?
In reality, the truth about all this world is not what we see. God's purpose is very different from any human understanding. God has no intentions to hurt, test or punish anyone like most missionary religions like us to believe. In reality, there is no misery out here except for those who have not understood the truth. Vedanta declares that the world is a manifestation of brahman so how can there be any sorrow here? We need to come out of individual way of thinking and expand our knowledge to universality. In that universal perspective the real auspicious nature of the world is well understood. As long as one continues to have the short sighted individual knowledge and does not expand into the collective knowledge of God, the hell really exists for you and you msy have to suffer there if you indulge in inhuman acts.
Guard your Dharma, Burn the Myth, Promote the Truth, Crush the superstition.
