The earth is a godless hell and we are the demons who's souls are trapped in it. The brutal truth is that if anything is claimed as being good or beautiful, it is purely subjective. Everything about this world is evil and malevolent and anyone who trys to claim that anything is good or beautiful, does so in vain. Because they only want to see it that way. From their delusional perspectives, they are only looking at the pretty veneer and refuse to see it any other way. They are denying the horrible reality that nothing about this world is actually good or beautiful. Our bodies are prisons for our souls and through the flesh we are made to suffer and feel pain...
Some will claim that the sunshine is good and beautiful...When in reality, it actually withers and burns anything and everything it shines upon...
Some will claim that the rain is good and beautiful...When in reality, it floods and drowns and washes things away...
Some will claim that the snow is good and beautiful...When in reality, it creates blizzards and avalanches, freezes and kills...
Some will claim that birds are beautiful...When in reality, especially from the perspective of insects, they are actually carnivorous, winged monsters...
Some will claim that babies are beautiful...When in reality, they are born of blood and screams and are often a burden on the parents who, unfortunately, often murder their own children...
Some will claim that there are those who are happy...When in reality, like it or not, even in hell, there is a hierachy among demons...
The bad and ugly things in this wicked world, far outweigh the good, so much so, that to claim anything as being good, is actually being self delusional and in denial. For on a daily and continuous basis we are forced to endure over and over...
war, arson, murder, disease, old age, starvation, lying, tears, pain, suicide, stealing, cheating, blizzards, genocide, floods, mental retardation, train wrecks, strokes, drought, brain damage, homelessness, earthquakes, poverty, volcanic eruptions, rape, tidal waves, child abuse, fire, animal attacks, broken bones, bloody wounds, asteroid impacts, plane crashes, work, drug addiction, heart attacks, poisonous insects, abortion, hail, torture, denial, extortion, greed, hurricanes, car crashes, avalanches, lonliness, prison, depression, aneurysms, religious persecution, hunger, false accusations, thirst, tornadoes, kidnapping, sleet, landslides, slavery, death camps, witch hunts...That sad and sorry list goes on and on...
I think that our souls have been damned and we are the demons that are trapped in a hell we call earth and any escape is an illusion, not even suicide will release us. Not even death will set us free. Because our souls will be born again and again, tormented and made to suffer here for all eternity. We are literally trapped upon this earth as it drifts through a strange and endless void. A perfectly evil prison, with nowhere to go, nowhere to run and nowhere to hide...
Long ago Christ visited hell and i believe that our only hope is if he chooses to return, forgives us and releases our souls away from here...edit on 23-10-2011 by blocula because: (no reason given)

You obviously have never really FELT a hellish moment in your life. I can tell. Because your idea of hell comes from outside yourself not a description of how hell feels. your ideas of hell sound like they come from magazines, movies, news stories etc.

Ok, done with this thread.
I see that any posts which seriously debate the OP are just going to get either ignored or half-quoted and that constant re-iteration of "It's all horrible......we are...in Hell" is the only argument this guy has.

If you genuinely believe there is no good in this world, then that is your conviction and you seem to be clung to it rather tightly.
