If it's hell, it also retains the ability to be heaven. That is the nature of duality.
hell is periodic and transient but omnipresent, if you so choose..

God allows evil because people on Earth deserve it.

God allows evil because people on Earth deserve it. We are all here for one reason only, and that's to earn our place where we belong in the heavens and that's where Karma comes in. A lot of people have mentioned that Earth, is literally 'hell' metaphorically and that's what I believe and it doesn't surprise me that others believe this as well because all it takes is intuition to know this.
God doesn't 'allow' evil to just happen, he just lets it be so whatever must take place, takes place here on Earth for us to learn from our mistakes. Bad things happen, it's called being at the wrong place at the wrong time even if they happen to good people.
Bible states that people go to 'hell' for a Second Death? So what really is a Second Death? Consciousness/Energy cannot be created or destroyed but can it be purified? That is what I believe why? Ever look in a newborns eyes and see how pure they are?
Now the Elites can easily control this through religion and what do you know? The psychopaths have control of our World because they don't care about the afterlife thus why they are determine to get as rich as possible and enjoy all that 'this' life has to offer.
I'm very interested in what hearing what people have to say on this topic. MODs, please move this thread in it's perspective place if needed. Thanks.

So the false prophet performed miracles on the beasts behalf? Didn't Jesus perform miracles?
S&F for the OP. This is what I believe, we are living in hell within heaven and most of the world worships false prophets, whether it be Mohammad, Jesus, or the OT god. Like you said, religion mixes truth with lies and that's why it has been so successful for so long.
We all know the truth subconsciously and they use this to their advantage. As long as there is some semblance of truth in it then people will eat it up, especially when you tell them eternal torture is waiting for them if they don't accept it.edit on 7-12-2012 by 3NL1GHT3N3D1 because: (no reason given)

And we're facing those consequences now. We are already in the lake of fire, just look around you. What better name is there to describe this place other than hell?
And I never said I didn't believe the bible, I just don't believe every word of it.
